Watershed management is critical for sustainable development in three Mekong sub-region countries, where agriculture and fisheries play key roles in local livelihoods. However, industrial activities in upstream and sloped highland areas—such as in Lam Dot commune, RS, Viet Nam—threaten downstream water quality, soil fertility, and biodiversity. To address these challenges, the National Strategy for Water Resources and Fisheries in the three countries emphasizes increased fish consumption and sustainable aquatic resource management. This project supports those goals by addressing four key areas: identifying farmers’ needs, developing essential infrastructure, demonstrating improved inputs and techniques, and enhancing local capacity through training. These integrated efforts aim to strengthen agriculture–fishery systems and promote long-term sustainability in the region. Read more...
