“…In the MKD, which is largely influenced by tides, farmers have adapted to the seasonal changing salinity conditions by adopting different farming systems along salinity gradients, e.g., cultivation of two or three rice crops per year in the freshwater zone and implementation of rotational rice aquaculture, year-round aquaculture, and upland crops in the brackish and saline water zones close to the coast. In the RRD, which has a higher topography and less tide-dominated environment than the MKD, agricultural production is principally protected from salinity intrusion by a system of sea dikes and sluice gates developed over the last thousand years (Tessier 2011). In the MKD, several salinity-control structures such as sluice gates and river dikes were also established in the coastal zone of the delta in the recent past (Tuan et al 2007, Käkönen 2008).…”

The resilience concept has provided a new insight and approach to the conventional perspective of agricultural management by emphasizing the need to maintain a diversity of future options to adapt to inevitable and often unpredictable changes. The concept has been taken up by various academic disciplines and development sectors, yet ways to define and operationalize resilience as a measurable concept are still being developed. We contributed to this ongoing effort by implementing a subjective resilience assessment method based on farmers' perceptions of three resilience components: (1) the sensitivity of their agricultural systems to increased salinity intrusion, (2) the capacity to recover from salinity damage, and (3) the capacity to change to other systems if salinity increases in the future. We conducted 27 in-depth interviews with local and national authorities, 11 focus group discussions, and 118 semistructured and 219 structured interviews with farmers in case study villages located along salinity transects in the Mekong Delta and at different distances to sea dikes in the Red River Delta in Vietnam in 2015-2016. Results from the subjective resilience assessment reveal that none of the agricultural systems studied systematically scored higher than the other systems on all three resilience components, implying that an increase in one resilience component by switching agricultural systems would negatively affect others. Agricultural responses to this salinity problem will influence current and long-term adaptability of the systems to future changes in salinity intrusion and other social-ecological developments in the deltas. Improving resilience components, e.g., through policies and interventions, resource allocation, and farming system changes, to sustain agricultural production or facilitate transformation to alternative systems when necessary is critically important for agricultural systems facing stress. Complementing subjective resilience assessments with qualitative data is thus crucial for understanding the drivers of resilience to improve components of resilience for agricultural systems in the respective deltas.

“…The Red River delta is indeed an area that has been heavily diked for several centuries. Facing a huge amount of floods all over its history [57,58], Vietnam authorities have started to build dikes in the Red River delta from 1099. P. Gourou estimates in [30] that the embankment of the whole delta has been achieved in 1865 and maintained and repaired from that time.…”

“…Land flight from the low-lying provinces became common during periods of frequent seasonal flooding. 72 Failures in water management accounted for twenty-seven floods between 1803 and 1861, the highest incidence in the millennium following Vietnamese control of the delta. 73 These environmental and social factors ensured that the Nguyen's military victory over rival political elites in 1802 did not necessarily translate into their dominance over the countryside.…”
