CGIAR Climate's insight:

Flooding and sea water intrusion are two of the biggest threats to rice producers in the lower Mekong Delta,” said Dr Ngo Dang Phong, IRRI’s project coordinator for the CLUES project, funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research.

CLUES is part of a global effort to tackle climate change in the region under the CGIAR’s Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), jointly implemented by IRRI and Can Tho University.
