(VOVworld) - Vietnam fully supports the establishment of the Global Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture (GACSA). Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Ha Cong Tuan was speaking at the inaugural meeting of the alliance in New York on Wednesday.


Deputy Minister Tuan said that Vietnam is one of the countries most affected by climate change. The GACSA establishment is a very crucial initiative to assist developing countries such as Vietnam to undertake their green growth strategy, ensure food and nutrition security, protect the environment and adapt to climate change.
Being aware of the serious impacts of climate change and the vital importance of its responses, Vietnam is actively joining hands with international communities to apply the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) practices. A series of CSA-oriented projects are being implemented in Vietnam such as low carbon agriculture, rice intensification systems, low carbon rice farming, and crop diversification from ineffective rice land.
