He urged each individual to raise their awareness of disaster prevention and production in adaptation to climate change.
To help restore the livelihoods of poultry farmers and poor households hit by drought and salinisation caused by El Nino, the centre and FAO granted breeding chickens and feed to 585 households in Dak Lak. Each received 20 chickens and 40kg of feed.
The project began in December 2017 in Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan, Ben Tre and Kien Giang. It has contributed to raising local officials and farmers’ awareness of chicken and duck rearing techniques and climate change adaptation./.
