A Technical Guide : Rice-Duck System, reducing chemicals and increasing income

The technical leaflet introduces the rice–duck system, an agroecological practice that reduces chemical use by allowing ducks to control pests and weeds while naturally fertilizing the soil. It outlines the system’s economic benefits, showing how farmers can increase rice yields and earn additional income from duck sales. The leaflet also provides practical guidance, timelines, and cost estimates to support successful adoption.

Crop–livestock Integration, Intensification and Specialization: What Trajectories in Northwest Vietnam?

Vietnam’s Highlands are at a turning point in their agricultural transformation. Crop-Livestock Integration (CLI), a central pivot of its low-input family farms, is subject to farm specialization and evolving CLI practices. CLI can persist or even expand, particularly when supported by adequate resources, institutional arrangements, and local knowledge. However, its long-term sustainability depends on: 1. addressing land and labor constraints; 2. adapting policy incentives to recognize the multifunctionality of mixed systems; and 3. strengthening inter-farm cooperation and biomass flows at larger scales. Policy interventions also need to move beyond binary models (i.e., extensifs vs. specialized) and actively pursue creative arrangements that lay between both extremes. Participatory scenario planning helps envision and co-design future pathways for CLI that align with socio-economic needs and environmental constraints. The forward-looking approach proposed by this resarch is essential to preserving farm diversity and maintaining ecological resilience under the fast- evolving nature of Vietnam’s agricultural modernization.

Integrated Tea Production System

Integrated tea production refers to combining tea cultivation with other crops or livestock to maximize land use and improve sustainability. For example, planting pigeon peas between tea plants enhances soil fertility and provides additional income. In villages like Yortpieng (Paek District, Xiengkhouang Province, Lao PDR) and Houay Or (Mueng District, Bokeo Province, Lao PDR), this practice has proven successful, where tea grows alongside other crops or livestock, promoting both economic and environmental benefits.

Integrated Organic Farming

The video presents an organic integrated farm ‘Souan Ai Aoun Farm’ located in the Natha Village, Chomphet District, Luang Prabang Province, Lao PDR. The farm combines various crops with livestock, showcasing how integrated agriculture can be applied effectively. In addition to traditional farming, the farm also incorporates tourism activities, allowing visitors to learn about sustainable farming techniques firsthand. This blend of agriculture and tourism not only supports local livelihoods but also promotes eco-friendly farming practices. CLICK produced this video as both a model of sustainable agriculture and an inspiring story for young people interested in agricultural production.

Fish Holes and Paddy Rice Farming: A Traditional and Agroecological Practice

This video presents the fish holes technique, a technique that enhances biodiversity and supports food security for smallholder farmers in Doneseur Village, Sanamxay District, Attapeu Province. Fish holes are an ancient indigenous practice—natural habitats where fish and other aquatic species live, breed, and thrive. They act as natural fertilizers for rice fields and provide an additional source of income. With around 10,000 fish holes in Attapeu Province, many of them are part of a generational heritage. Added to that, the video also details how fish are collected from the holes.
