Capacity Building for Saline Agriculture in the Mekong Delta―Innovation in Focus: Salt Farming
ADB
2025.02.18
As rising saline intrusion in Viet Nam’s Mekong Delta Region damages crops and hits livelihoods, this case study shows how an ADB-backed adaptation project to introduce saline-tolerant crops and hydroponic systems could support inclusive rural development.

The case study explains how ADB is working with the Netherlands Trust Fund through the Water Financing Partnership Facility to tackle saline intrusion, which is driven by climate change and rising sea-levels. It details how the project promotes interactive learning and shows farmers why better soil management, crop selection, and shifting to systems such as hydroponics could improve the long-term agricultural potential of saline-affected areas.
