Lois Wright Morton: Sustainable Agricultural Intensification in the Red River Delta of Vietnam
Author: ramiller
The need to take the Green Revolution to the next level using innovation and technologies to create sustainable agricultural systems has never been greater. The Red River Delta of Vietnam faces a complex and difficult challenge: how to coproduce food systems that protect and conserve soil and water resources, provide nutrition and food security, and ensure robust livelihoods. In a recently published Journal of Soil and Water Conservation paper, ISU Rural Sociologist, Dr. Lois Wright Morton links research on integrated farm systems and experiments in new technologies, practices and tools to sustainable intensification goals that can help Vietnam agriculture balance environment, social and economic profitability.
