Vietnam participates in international rice project

Vietnam participates in rice research project with 21 research institutes of many countries in the world to improve the efficiency of food production.

>>> New discoveries about the origin of rice

Vietnam's Red River and Mekong River Delta will become a part of
research.

The LEGATO project, which was launched on June 14 in Malaysia, has participated in research institutes from Germany, Malaysia, the Philippines, the UK, Bulgaria and Spain with funding from the Ministry of Education and Research. German state.

This project studies land use density and ecological design, assesses risks and opportunities in wet rice production systems with the aim of promoting the sustainable development of wet rice fields against risk from global changes.

The goal of the project is to create and test applicable principles in the eco-design framework, aimed at maximizing ecosystem services through the exploitation of self-regulation mechanisms. Of course instead of suppressing.

The project will quantify dependence on ecological functions and services created in agricultural systems in three Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The project is coordinated by Josef Settele at the Helmholtz Environmental Research Center (UFZ), the leader of more than 60 ecologists, social scientists, engineers and agronomists.
