change impacts on national food security Econometric model is used to estimate from the secondary data as pool data of Mekong Delta in period 2001-2010 The Cobb-Douglas functional form is applied for the average yield function The result indicates that in Cobb-Douglass model, as the temperature rises by 1%, the estimated decrease the rice yield is 0.45% and the rice yield also decreases 0.15% on average when the precipitation increases 1%, holding all other factors constant The qualitative analysis and simulations with different scenarios are also applied to build on Vietnam’s food security scenarios up to 2030 The findings show that Vietnam has to face the lack of rice for consuming up to 2030 in IPSL-2030 climate change scenario This country needs to add 4.2 million tons of rice to ensure food security at the national level Meanwhile, in GISS-2030 and MORNE-2030 scenarios, Vietnam is still ensure for domestic consume, and the surplus rice for export in these two scenarios are 0.4 and 1.5 million tons, respectively iii TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com LIST OF TABLES Table 2.1: Summary of Empirical Studies about Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture and Food

one issue of concern in Vietnam Among of three climate change scenarios, rice output in MORNE-2030 scenario is the highest output in these scenarios with accounted by 38.8 million tons In GISS-2030, the output is estimated 37.7 million tons These two scenarios could meet for domestic rice demand and for export However, in IPSL-2030 scenario, the rice output does not satisfy the requirements of rice for domestic consumption The shortage of rice in IPSL-2030 is 4.2 million in order to ensure national food security Hence, Vietnam's food security could be threatened in the future Simultaneously, world’s food security will be effect as Vietnam has not rice surplus for export 5.3 CHAPTER REMARKS This chapter has set up on Vietnam’s food security scenarios for up to 2030 with three climate change scenarios as GISS, IPSL and MORNE The results showed that in GISS and MORNE scenarios, Vietnam meets the rice output to ensure food security at the national level and be surplus to export, but it will be shortages in IPSL scenario These findings of this study conflict with other previous researches According to CAP-IPSARD (2011), Vietnam has still enough rice to ensure food security up to 2030 However, our study indicates Vietnam has to face with the shortages of food under the impact of climate change 58 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Chapter CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 SUMMARY OF THE STUDY AND CONCLUSIONS In fact, there are the relationships between climate change and food security Climate change will be reduced productivity, increased land erosion and land loss They are more serious in the future due to more emissions into the environment Some climate variables as temperature, precipitation, sea level rises, etc have impacted rice production in reality Therefore, they have affected food supply side and threatened food security as a consequences However, the change in rice yield under climate change is different in Vietnam’s agro-ecological zones Up to 2030, food security in Vietnam will be threatened due to climate change Of which, rice supply may be not respond to rice demand First, this study has developed a quantitative estimation of the impacts of weather conditions on the rice yield in Mekong Delta in period 2001-2010 The findings of our research indicate the temperature and the precipitation negatively relate on rice yield It presents that the paddy yield will be decline when the temperature and precipitation rise In Cobb-Douglass model, as the temperature rises by 1%, the estimated decrease the rice yield is 0.45% on average, and the rice yield also decreases 0.15% on average when the precipitation increases 1% holding all other factors constant In addition, this paper has analyzed and compared some climate and food security scenarios which were studied by previous researches and the objectives of Vietnamese Government But our paper evaluates food security scenarios up to 2030 by Center for Agricultural Policy as well as the goals of Government will not perform in reality under impacting of climate change Then, this paper has built on Vietnam’s food security scenarios for up to 2030 In GISS-2030 and MORNE-2030 scenarios, Vietnam not only meets the 59 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com rice output to ensure food security at the national level but also is surplus to export In MORNE-2030 scenario, the surplus rice output is 1.5 million tons to export In GISS2030, the surplus rice output to export is 0.4 million tons However, in IPSL-2030, Vietnam needs to add 4.2 million tons of rice to ensure food security at the national level In conclusion, Vietnam's food security will be more pressured in the future due to impact of climate change on food production Therefore, the Vietnamese policy makers should note in the policy and find out appropriate solutions to adapt to climate change as well as ensuring national food security 6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS In this study, we estimate the food security based on the balance rice demand and rice supply The findings showed that Vietnam will be lack of the rice for consumption under the impact of climate change Therefore, in order to adapt climate change and ensure national food security, we suggest some solutions which are carried out at the same time as follows: In supply side: Firstly, realizes the paddy land to follow Vietnamese Government Planning: At the moment, Decision No 124/2012/QĐ-TTg approving master plan of production development of Agriculture to 2020 and a vision toward 2030 has been promulgated and effective Therefore, departments and local authorities need to coordinate and resolutely implement an effective plan It means that not use paddy land to build industrial parks or golf Instead, we should use infertile sandy soil, or land used for aquaculture less effective for these purposes Simultaneously, need to perform the policies which met for rice farmers achieved 30% profit on the direction and enriched by serving rice as they will be motivated to keep rice land Secondly, increases the number of crops per year: in order to that, we have to change the structural rice varieties and crop structure Specifically, the short-term hybrid rice will be promoted instead of the long-term pure rice as the current 60 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Thirdly, reduces the post-harvest losses of rice: use the combined-machinery in harvesting rice, build the planning irrigation system must be synchronized with the development of inland transportation system, associated with rural roads to facilitate for moving machinery, open the training courses about technology and equipment of post-harvest for farmers In demand side: Firstly, diversifies the components of daily diet to reduce per-capita rice consumption: reduce the quantity of rice in diet and use the others such as corn, cassava Moreover, Vietnamese consumers should to add consuming vegetables, fish, meat, egg, fruit, etc to ensure the nutrient instead of rice for mainly consuming in daily diet Secondly, reduces the rice for animals by using the others for feed: need to use the other food as corn, cassava and vegetables These solutions above focused on food supply and demand to ensure food security Besides that, we suggest some solutions to adapt climate change as follows: build and upgrade sea dikes system, salinity sewers system and construction of dikes closed to protect agricultural areas; plant and protect the forest to prevent deforestation, contribute to flood protection, soil erosion, etc; limit the use of fossil fuels and find alternative energy sources for those to reduce emission which caused greenhouse gases; invest in agricultural research and development; cooperate with international organizations on climate change 6.3 LIMITATIONS AND FURTHER RESEARCHES In this study, we used econometric method to estimate the impact of climate change on rice yield in region-level The results of regression in Cobb-Douglas model are quite well Specifically, the signs and the coefficients of temperature and precipitation variables indicate the negative relationship with rice yield These are suitable for Mekong Delta region in reality However, the value of R-square and adjusted R- 61 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com square are low for the model Therefore, the relevance of the model is still low As mentioned in Chapter 4, the technological progress variable is omitted due to lack of correct information Thus, we ignored this variable and estimated the model without it Because technological progress is also important variable, so our results may not fully reflect the impacts of all variables on rice yield In addition, this study separated the analysis into two parts The first part is for Mekong Delta region with historical data in period 2001-2010 The second part is for Vietnam with simulation up to 2030 However, we not linkage these parts together due to the results of the first ones is not good to simulate These lead to the connection between the parts is inconsistent for the research Furthermore, this paper used some data from previous researches and legal document to calculate and estimate food security in both sides such as rice yield, rice planted area, average rice consumed per capita, population, etc Thus, the result of my paper is depended on previous researches which are special organizations about climate change and food security In addition, food were known with many items such as corn, paddy rice, cassava, sweet potato, maize, meat, vegetable, egg, milk, etc but this study only focus on rice item For these reasons, this study suggests that further researches should dig into the model that fully reflected the variables impacting on rice yield as well as rice production On the other hand, researches in the future need to present food security which consist other food items 62 TIEU LUAN
