Proposal of farming systems in Camau peninsula adapting to climate change - sealevel rise

Abstract

Ca Mau Peninsula covers an area of about 43% of the Mekong Delta area, with potential agricultural
and fishery development. Based on the results of assessment on land suitability, livelihood and socioeconomic factors of the region, the study proposes adaptive farming systems in the context of seawater
climate change. This includes (1) a multi-cropping integrated farming system, (2) a brackish shrimp
farming system, (3) a perennial fruit farming system, (4) a rotational farming system. Rice-land crops,
(5) high-tech fruit and vegetable cultivation systems, and (6) specialized rice cultivation systems. In
addition, structural and non-structural measures to optimize water supply and control to improve the
efficiency of adaptive farming systems are mentioned.
