Summary:

Innovative thinking on agriculture in the Greater Mekong Subregion will help nations meet rising food demands, protect environments and prepare for climate change.

Nations of the Greater Mekong Subregion need to ‘rethink’ their agricultural industries to meet future food needs, given the social shifts and climate changes that are forecast for the coming decades. With better farming practices, and by managing agriculture within the wider context of natural ecosystems, nations could boost production and increase the wealth and resilience of poor people in rural communities.
