Land Subsidence in the Mekong Delta

Land Subsidence in the Mekong Delta

Land is sinking, salinity is rising, and the Mekong Delta is changing faster than many communities can adapt. A new study sheds light on the scale of these changes – and reinforces the importance of hands‑on, farmer‑centred adaptation efforts.

The authors emphasise that salinity monitoring, salt‑tolerant crops, and training initiatives should be part of a cohesive national strategy. This aligns strongly with the mission of the Mekong Salt Lab, where SkillEd contributes to building practical skills for climate‑resilient farming.
