The coastal zone of the Mekong River delta has experienced rapid economic and environmental change during the last decade. Given the nature of the environment and the level of dependence on the natural resource base, policies for land and water were very influential in this process. The emphasis on rice created an imperative to control saline intrusion, which was realized through construction of major engineering works over an extended period (1994-2000). The inertia built up by this process led to a divergence between policy and practice, and adversely affected the livelihoods of fishers and of those farmers who live on aquaculture. This prompted the government to re-think about the rice-focus policy, in favor of a land and water policy for balanced rice and aquaculture production. The paper describes an analytical process, which was adopted to explore the feasibility of adopting the new policy for balanced development of both rice and shrimp production and discusses the impact of the new policy on farmers’ livelihoods.

The impacts of climate change on agriculture and food production in Southeast Asia will be largely mediated through water, but climate is only one driver of change. Water resources in the region will be shaped by a complex mixture of social, economic and environmental factors. This report reviews the current status and trends in water management in the Greater Mekong Subregion; assesses likely impacts of climate change on water resources to 2050; examines water management strategies in the context of climate and other changes; and identifies priority actions for governments and communities to improve resilience of the water sector and safeguard food production.

The objective of this project is to examine adaptation strategies of smallholders in the Chingale district of Malawi to climate change impact, as well as to the implications of introducing the Integration of Aquaculture into Diversified Food production Systems (IADFS). The central approach of this research is combining an agent-based model (ABM) representing farmers with various types of production systems with a water resources model (WRM). Whereas the WRM relies on historical time series data of rainfall/runoff and a set of climate change scenarios, the ABM builds upon recent household and village–size surveys in combination with population census and GIS data. However, knowledge that feeds into the decision rules for the model can only come from the farmers in an interactive way. For this reason a knowledge elicitation workshop was conducted where farmers simulated their main farming activities on a monthly basis. As the primary driver for decision making, water availability was employed. Water availability was simulated to change on a monthly base during both a year with adequate water availability and a year with insufficient water availability. The most relevant production systems were examined during four workshop sessions: rain-fed farms (RF), canal irrigation farms (IR), farmers in the low-lying areas with high ground water tables and adapted cultivation methods (Dimba) and integrated agriculture–aquaculture farms (IAA). This simulation workshop resulted in a variety of insights such as: a diversity of individual (drought) coping strategies such as postponing sowing activities, reducing land devoted to crops, or reducing irrigation. Furthermore, the assumption that rain-fed farms are most sensitive to droughts was confirmed, whereas groundwater-fed farmers demonstrate the lowest sensitivity. The resulting decision rules will be validated with farmers and experts of the regional farm systems in a later phase of the project.
