Barnard, J., Vu, H.T. and Nelson, K. 2022. Systematic review of digital resources for climate-informed agroecological transitions in rice in the Mekong Delta. Agroecological TRANSITIONS: Inclu-sive Digital Tools to Enable Climate-informed Agroecological Transitions (ATDT). Hanoi, Vietnam: IRRI.

This report summarizes findings from the review of digital resources for climate-informed agroecological transitions in rice in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. The project “Agroecological transitions for building resilient and inclusive agricultural and food systems” (TRANSITIONS) is funded by the European Commission through its DeSIRA initiative and managed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The Digital Tools regional work in Vietnam focused on research and engagement with digital tools for technical advice and performance assessment in sustainable rice production in the Mekong Delta due to the high environmental impacts, climate change mitigation potentials and sustainability challenges. The Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) is the world’s only sustainability standard for rice and is the focus for the digital tool review in Vietnam.
