BRAgS - Building Resilient Agricultural Systems: sustainable livelihoods in Mega-Deltas under environmental change
The BRAGS GCRF project establish a new international and multidisciplinary collaboration between UK and Vietnamese universities, international agencies (UN FAO) and other key end-users (IRRI, IPSARD) that is capable of delivering new insight into the trade-offs between flooding, sediment and nutrient deposition, rice cultivation and associated livelihood strategies in the Vietnamese Mekong delta (VMD). GeoData  (prof. Craig Hutton & Prof. Chris Hill) helped develop new modelling tools that can evaluate socio-economic/environmental impact of alternative water management and rice cultivation practices allowing for sustainable intensification under environmental changes such as upstream impoundment, land use and climate change, nutrient fluxes in the Mekong delta.
