DAIV - Dynamics of agricultural innovation in Vietnam
This project analyzes the dynamics of agricultural innovation in Vietnam with a particular focus on technologies and institutional innovations developed by CGIAR International Agricultural Research Centers. Relevant innovations are identified through a stocktake exercise. Innovation adoption and factors supporting or hindering uptake in the small-farm sector are examined with nationally-representative data, including household and community surveys, remote sensing, and DNA fingerprinting techniques. Impacts of innovation adoption on agricultural productivity, food security, poverty, gender dynamics, and various environmental outcomes are evaluated, combining econometric modeling with remote sensing and machine learning approaches. Qualitative interviews with farmers and other stakeholders are carried out to better understand the effects and their underlying mechanisms.
