How could a partnership help to redefine the future of rice production in Vietnam? 🌾   Thanks to its forward-looking local leadership, Dong Thap province is setting an example by demonstrating how to build a resilient and sustainable rice sector through partnership and innovation. As Mr. Le Chi Thien, Deputy Director of the Dong Thap DARD, emphasised: the rice sector faces significant challenges that demand bold, systemic change.   Last month, Rikolto brought partners together to review our progress and plan the way forward. What will this transformation entail? • GHG reduction  • Circular economy initiatives that create value from production by- products • Connecting smallholder farmers to new market opportunities. This journey is made possible through the vital support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Belgium (𝘋𝘎𝘋 - 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯), Vlaamse overheid, Departement Omgeving (𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘦) and The Livelihoods Carbon Fund (LCF)   Read the full article on our Southeast Asian website, link in the comment! ✍️ VUONG Tuyet Nhung   #SustainableFoodSystems #SustainableRiceRikolto #RiceValueChain #GHGreduction
