FAO supports 700,000 for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Date: 13/03/2014
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) signed and launched the project named “Enhancing Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) Readiness: Building Capacity in Integrated Food and Energy System in Vietnam”.
This project will contribute outcome that the national capacity will be developed to enable the adoption of NAMA from agricultural production practices based on IFES, with a focus on integrated crop-livestock systems and renewable energy options. On impact level, the project outcomes may positively influence in reducing fossil fuel based energy and fertilizer use in Viet Nam, while, at the same time, sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and improving the resilience of smallholder farming systems to climate change and variability.
The programmer will be carried out during 3 years, with a total budget of USD 770,000 funded by One UN through FAO
