Co-generating knowledge: Organic rice in Savannakhet - SUMERNET film series on “Climate change and water insecurity”

The wetlands of Savannakhet are crucial to the food security of Lao PDR, providing the country with most of its rice. But the area's rice farmers are facing greater flood risks since the Nam Theun 2 dam started operations further upstream. SN project researchers have supported dialogue between the dam operators, government agencies and the farmers to resolve compensation issues as well as initiating organic rice farming efforts. Working closely with local communities and other partners, SN is co-generating knowledge to improve the process of recovery of the wetland agro-ecological systems
