1 Climate Change and Rice Production Tran Dang Hoa Faculty of Agronomy Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry Vietnam

2 4 millions ha Main regions: - Red river delta - Central - Mekong delta

3 Climate Change Effects Relevant for Rice Production

4 Climate change in Vietnam Sea level rises cm/ 10 years in the last century

5 Vietnam sea level rise (SLR, cm) as compared with Scenarios Emission B1 Low B2 Medium A2 High

6 Red river delta: land area will be under water if sea level rise of 1m

7 Mekong river delta: land area will be under water if sea level rise of 1m

8 Temperature increase 23.0 O C Annual temperature Average temperature increase C/10 years. Average temperature of some months in summer is increase C/ 10 years Year Variability (1), climatological average (2), moving average (time step - 11 year) (3) and linear trend (4) of Temperature at A Luoi station.

9 Vietnam Temperature increased as compared with Scenarios T(0C) A2 B1 High Increase Low Increase

10 5000 mm Rainfall of Aug.-Dec. Rainfall is decrease in dry season, but increase in raining season. Heavy raining causes strong flood frequently Year Variability (1), climatological average (2), moving average (time step - 11 year) (3) and linear trend (4) of August-December rainfall at A Luoi station.

11 Typhoon - Non rule - moves to the south.

12 Action plan on rice production Mitigation/Adaptation Climate change mitigation is any action taken to permanently eliminate or reduce the long-term risk and hazards of climate change to human life or property Climate change adaptation refers to the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.

13 Mitigation GHG from Agriculture 2050, GHG from agriculture will be increased 30% FAO, April 11, 2014

14 Climate Change Mitigation within the rice agricultural sector Agriculture causes about 25 % global anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, % of CH 4, and 90 % of N 2 O emissions Rice paddies contributing about 12% to global CH 4 emissions (second largest after cattle livestock) Global Warming Potential (GWP): CH 4 25 times higher than CO 2 N 2 O 298 times higher than CO 2

15 Rice varieties Fertilizer Water management (modified)

35 Conclusion Climate Change Mitigation: Rice systems have to become more efficient in terms of Water use Fertilizer uptake Harvest index

36 Adaptation: Rice systems have to become more resilient to Drought Submergence Salinity Heat waves By Germplasm development Crop management Cropping system Resource management and Structures

37 QUESTION to Restructure Program Sources Measures Need - Too much water used for rice - Too low efficiency of inputs (fertilizers, pesticides, waters) - Soil degradation - Low C-soil sink - Increase GHG - Saving water=> precision irrigation system - Changes the way of rice cultivation (less input. less water uses.=> high efficiency.) - Re-use rice/ crop residues; mulching/ Bio-char/ Min tillage - Added values for all agriculture products & by products - N e w Technology - New behaviors - Precision agriculture - C-sequence

38 - Low comparative productivity - Uncertainly income - Replace Rice by other crops with reversible ways - Added values for all Rice products & by products - New techniques? - Multiple cropping - Investment - New Marketing Approach

39 - Sea level rise - Weather uncertainty - Salinity - Drought/ - Flooding - Heat/cool - Physical and biological ways - Inter-field damps - Multiple cropping - Mixed cropping - Modelling - New behaviors - Good prediction - Good investment design - Useful Information/data
