Rice-Field Dike and Integrated Forest
The project location is situated in the Chee River basin which falls within the ecological reach of the Mekhong River. Long after the adoption of mono-crop system and its modern technology,
the natural resource in the area has become depleted and ecological system seriously altered.
Clearing the forest in order to obtain more land for cash crop was being practiced. In order to rush and ensure an expected yield, the application of chemical fertilizer/pesticide has always been exceeding the appropriate limit. The adverse consequences of the dual problem are witnessed both environmentally and in livelihood security.
Moreover, burning rice-field after harvest has become a common practice only a few years ago. The burning aims to get rid of (unwanted) biomass which impede the plowing process by machine. Every year after harvest , the burning fire in the fields can be seen almost everywhere and requires much effort to control. The burning unnecessarily adds to the
