Overview
This project aimed to develop a Theory of Change (ToC) for economically and environmentally sustainable and climate change-resilient sloping land agricultural systems in northern Laos and northwest Vietnam with stakeholders that represent the agricultures chains, research, extension and development in the region.
The project explored pathways to utilise the expertise of Vietnamese researchers, extension staff and private sector actors involved in diversified production and trade systems based on maize and cassava with associated legume crops, horticultural and perennial tree crops and livestock in Son La province to improve the still-underdeveloped production and trade systems based on maize monocropping in northern Laos.
Project outcomes
- Embedded knowledge in the research and local government institutions, and supply chains.
- Engaged with stakeholders on economically and environmentally sustainable and climate change resilient sloping land agricultural systems, to identify pathways and partners in future research.
- Co-developed a ToC for economically and environmentally sustainable and climate change-resilient sloping land agricultural systems in northern Laos and northwest Vietnam.
