Vietnam’s Climate-Friendly Rice Revolution: Reducing Methane and Increasing Profits

Vietnam is transforming its rice sector to address climate change and increase profits, employing new techniques like alternate wetting and drying and drone fertilization. These methods reduce water consumption, methane emissions, and labor costs while maintaining crop yields. The country aims to expand climate-resilient rice farming to 300,000 hectares by 2030, with support from the World Bank and other international organizations. Vietnam’s efforts serve as a model for other rice-producing nations facing climate change challenges, highlighting the vital need to mitigate methane emissions and secure food security.
