The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations.

The ISLM is a 5-year project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) led by the Institute of Strategy and Policy on Natural Resources and Environment (ISPONRE) under Ministry of Natural Resource and Environment (MONRE), in close collaboration with the Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development (IPSARD) under Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development MARD). The project aims to support the transformation of rice-dominated landscapes in the Mekong Delta towards sustainable, adaptive and resilient models of production and landscape management that deliver multiple environmental and social benefits. The project forms part of the regional Sustainable Rice Landscape Initiative (SRLI) led by the public/private Sustainable Rice Platform, as well as the GEF-7 FOLUR Impact Program.
STAR-FARM is a 4-year project funded by the EU Delegation and led by Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development through its line agency - the International Cooperation Department.
