Ponte - Aug 2021 - Volume 77 - Issue 8 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2021.8.5 Abstract: This research aims to develop locally appropriate climate-resilient livelihood strategies for smallholder farmers in a northern mountainous province of Vietnam. The study was conducted during October 2019 – April 2020 in Bac Kan province and Cho Don district using a mixed method via desktop studies; field surveys with relevant stakeholders from provincial to commune levels and 100 farmers in 2 climate-vulnerable communes; workshops and focus group discussions (FGD) among experience farmers and stakeholder representatives. As a result, 13 potential climate resilient production models and practices have been identified, and 3 intertwined strategies have been formulated in order to achieve the defined goal of improved climate resilience and household income for the studied location. Practical recommendations on implementation and future research directions are also discussed in this paper.
