      abstract = {Vietnam is likely to be among the hardest hit countries by  climate change, which may threaten the recent progress it  has made in accelerating agricultural growth and poverty  reduction. To examine how agriculture and the rural poor  may be affected by a changing climate, this paper measures  Vietnamese farmers’ adaptation behavior in terms of  adjustments to the production portfolio and input usage.  Specifically, the paper estimates a rice yield function  based on household-level crop production, long-term climate  measurements and recent weather shocks. The results suggest  that rice production will suffer from climate change.  However, Vietnamese farmers are likely to respond to  changes in rainfall and temperature by adjusting input  usage. While this will help maintaining productivity  levels, expanding irrigation and agricultural  intensification will be key components of climate change  adaptation strategies at farm and national level. Localized  policy packages aiming at increasing yield by focusing on  vulnerable groups (ethnic-minority and/or the poor) can  help achieve multiple development goals of poverty  reduction, food security and climate change adaptation.},
