Increasing frequency, intensity and duration of severe weather events are posing major challenges to global food security and livelihoods of rural people. Agriculture has evolved through adaptation to local circumstances for thousands of years. Local experience in responding to severe weather conditions, accumulated over generations and centuries, is valuable for developing adaptation options to current climate change.
Vietnam depends on coal as its main energy source, which comes either from the north of the country or has to be imported to meet demand. Alternative, locally produced fuel sources could increase energy self-sufficiency and foster development of a local energy sector. Rice husks represent a strong potential in terms of organic material to be used as an energy source. With an estimated production of 44 million tons of paddy rice in 2013, approximately 7 million tons of rice husks are available (or to be disposed of if unutilized) in terms of potentially usable biomass.
