ABSTRACTED FROM THE INTRODUCTION: As a part of sustainable agriculture initiative, the ACISIA/AIT has begun an European Union- financed project entitled: “Sustaining and Enhancing the Momentum for Innovation and Learning around the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in the Lower Mekong River Basin”. The project overall objective is to contribute to enhance resilience of rainfed farmers of Lower Mekong River Basin countries confronting climate change. The project idea seeks to stimulate local innovation using SRI and Farmers’ Field School (FFS) approaches involving smallholder farmers in rainfed areas of Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand in order to sustainably improve agricultural productivity and food security in the context of climate change adaptation, and to enhance research capacities to continue to support this development.
