Abstract
This report focuses on promoting
low-carbon rice production systems in Vietnam. There are
many sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the
agricultural sector in Vietnam, including along value chains
and within the whole agri-food context. However, because
rice production is so important to the country and to
emission reductions in agriculture, this report focuses on
known actions that can be rapidly upscaled, along with other
complementary actions to reduce GHG emissions from rice
production systems. The report covers emission reduction
pathways in rice. This report assesses agronomic and other
options that offer technically and economically feasible
pathways to promote low-carbon rice. Some options have been
piloted in Vietnam and require significant upscaling at the
farm-level. This report considers challenges and practical
actions and policy reforms to address these challenges for
Vietnam’s low-carbon transition (LCT) in rice.
