Socioeconomic baseline case study: Nghia Trung Village, Bu Dang District, Binh Phuoc Province, Vietnam

Abstract

The SANREM CRSP "Agroforestry and Sustainable Vegetable Production in Southeast Asia Watersheds" or SANREM TMPEGS project is developing sustainable agroforestry-based vegetable production systems for steeply-sloping hillsides in Southeast Asia to alleviate poverty and food scarcity and reduce environmental degradation. By combining economically viable and resource conserving technologies with gender friendly socio-economic policies, economically viable and ecologically sound integrated vegetable-agro forestry systems are being developed to increase farm production and income, thus generating a reliable supply of products for markets and increasing local food security. The project is implemented by a consortium of international and national organizations under the coordination of North Carolina A&T State University.
