Participatory landscape analysis for community-based livestock management in Vietnam

This article describes an action research project that explored the diagnosis of land use changes and problem prioritisation with local stakeholders and the design and testing of technical and organisational innovations in Vietnam. The research looks at the Mountain Agrarian Systems Programme, established in 1998, and aims to understand factors related to designing sustainable cropping systems and develop new tools to facilitate decision-making processes for rural development and natural resource management.
