“…Of course, I was forced to reduce the time for rice cultivation." This opinion is consistent with prior research by Vo et al (2021) and Dinh et al (2023), demonstrating that off-farm employment significantly boosts farmers' income but distracts them from agricultural activities. This fact threatens the sustainability of rural society.…”

Insufficient financial resources pose a considerable obstacle to Vietnam's endeavors to alleviate the repercussions of climate change. The adverse impacts of extreme weather events, particularly drought and water scarcity, have inflicted severe consequences on rice production across diverse regions, imperiling both the livelihoods of farmers and the nation's food security. While international aid is crucial, involving farmers in co-financing irrigation water services is essential for addressing these challenges in the long run. This study employs a blended approach encompassing quantitative and qualitative methodologies to investigate the determinants influencing farmers' willingness to participate in co-financing irrigation water services. Data were meticulously gathered through direct interviews with 289 farmers in An Giang province within the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The findings underscore that the majority of respondents (86.16%) reported encountering water-related stresses in rice production, with 76.47% experiencing productivity losses attributable to extreme weather events. The results of the binary logistic regression model reveal significant factors associated with a farmer's decision to engage in co-financing irrigation services, including household income, participation in non-farm employment, farmers' perceptions of water scarcity, the adverse impact of water scarcity on rice yields, and the assessment of associated risks. Based on these discernments, we offer several policy recommendations aimed at facilitating the efficacious implementation of the irrigation water service co-financing initiative.

Intensive rice farming using inorganic fertilisers creates the problem of soil fertility degradation and further impacts decreasing rice productivity. Alternative technologies are needed to increase production while maintaining the sustainability of agricultural resources through organic rice farming. This study aims to 1) analyse the financial feasibility of organic rice farming, 2) identify the constraints in developing organic rice farming, and 3) formulate an alternative policy to develop organic rice farming in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia. The primary data were collected from 30 organic rice farmers. Traditional rice farmer’s groups were also interviewed for comparison. The financial feasibility was analysed using cost and benefit analysis. The results showed that organic rice in Tasikmalaya is financially profitable, with the R/C ratios ranging from 1.14 to 1.45. However, the profit is still much lower than traditional rice farming. The main constraint to increasing organic rice profit is that the price of organic rice grain is not different from traditional rice since marketing institutions have not yet been established. To increase the profit of organic rice farming, the government should encourage farmers to keep growing organic rice, accompanied by technical guidance and establishment of organic rice processing and marketing institutions.
