Viet Nam’s green rice revolution: A game changer for farmers and the environment
Sources of informationAugust 21, 2025 | CGIAR |
CGIAR and Viet Nam are expanding climate-resilient irrigation—most notably alternate wetting and drying (AWD)—as a pathway to reduce methane and improve water productivity. While the program reports strong field performance, researchers emphasize that future impact will depend on scaling proven practices across provinces with tailored water-management protocols and consistent measurement of emissions reductions. Digital irrigation tools and remote sensing are helping quantify water savings and guide field timing, but additional investment in MRV and farmer training is required to verify climate benefits at scale. As Viet Nam targets a low-emission rice sector under its net-zero roadmap, the initiative is expected to shape provincial planning and inform future financing for climate-aligned irrigation.
