Mekong Delta turns to saltwater farming as seas rise
Original: In the Mekong Delta, a push to grow food with saltwater
In Vietnam's Mekong Delta, farmers and UN-backed programmes are promoting saltwater agriculture, growing food crops adapted to brackish conditions as salinity intrusion increasingly threatens conventional rice farming. The approach is being framed as a practical climate adaptation for a region that supplies much of Vietnam's rice and is among the world's most vulnerable deltas to sea level rise.
Why now: Climate change and rising sea levels are pushing the Mekong Delta to adapt its agriculture, making saltwater farming a notable adaptation story.
