“…The support from local research institutions and the provincial Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) offices was crucial for reaching farmers and processing companies. All field visits were conducted in the presence of local researchers and MARD staff employed at province or commune level, which is necessary when doing field research in Vietnam, as noted in several studies Scott, Miller, & Lloyd, 2006). The interview format was semi-structured in most of the cases and based on open-ended questions.…”

We estimate the causal effect of food standards on Vietnamese pangasius farmers' wellbeing measured by per capita consumption expenditure. We estimate both the average effects and the local average treatment effects on poorer and richer farmers by instrumental variable quantile regression. Our results indicate that large returns can be accrued from food standards, but only for the upper middle-class farmers, i.e., those between the 50% and 85% quantiles of the expenditure distribution. Overall, our result points to an exclusionary impact of standards for the poorest farmers while the richest do not apply standards because the added gain is too small.

“…The accusations were even stronger in the narrative essays, which is particularly remarkable in the Vietnamese context, given that written opinions are more likely to be regarded as ''sensitive'' than in nonsocialist southeast Asian countries (Scott et al 2006). Farmers accused the lake manager of not having followed the weather forecast, as well as not having taken seriously recommendations from the Department of Dyke Management to preventively increase the buffer capacity of the lake by discharging water through the spillover.…”

Why do people not learn from flood disasters? Evidence from Vietnam’s northwestern mountains

This article explores how the causes and impacts of a flood event as perceived by local people shape immediate responses and future mitigation efforts in mountainous northwest Vietnam. Local flood perception is contrasted with scientific perspectives to determine whether a singular flood event will trigger adjustments in mitigation strategies in an otherwise rarely flood-affected area. We present findings from interdisciplinary research drawing on both socioeconomic and biophysical data. Evidence suggests that individual farmers' willingness to engage in flood mitigation is curbed by the common perception that flooding is caused by the interplay of a bundle of external factors, with climatic factors and water management failures being the most prominent ones. Most farmers did not link the severity of flooding to existing land use systems, thus underlining the lack of a sense of personal responsibility among farmers for flood mitigation measures. We conclude that local governments cannot depend on there being a sufficient degree of intrinsic motivation among farmers to make them implement soil conservation techniques to mitigate future flooding. Policy makers will need to design measures to raise farmers' awareness of the complex interplay between land use and hydrology and to enhance collective action in soil 123Nat Hazards (2012) 62:221-241 DOI 10.1007 conservation by providing appropriate incentives and implementing coherent long-term strategies.
