CONTEXT

Tu Bông area is located in Van Phuoc Commune, in the rural district Van Ninh, itself part of the Khanh Hoa province; 350km North of Ho Chi Minh City, which represents a 9-hour drive from the city. Moderately-high hills board the seaside. Rice fields are located in between. Due to the deforestation of hillsides in the region, soil erosion has brought a lot of sands to rice fields and caused serious droughts.

As 80% of the villagers cultivate rice for a living, it has become a necessity to take action to preserve agricultural yields.
