Vietnam Farming

Caption

A farmer tends rice fields in Yen Bai, Vietnam, where balancing goals for sustainable development and management of ecosystems is challenging. Options like improved cropland management, increasing soil carbon, agroforestry, integrated water management and fire management are all low trade-off land management practices that can help countries meet targets like the U.N. sustainable development goals and the Paris climate agreement.
