    Abstract


    This study aimed to propose solutions for developing and scaling-up climate-smart agriculture (CSA) models appropriate to Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh province - a coastal area heavily affected by climate change. Data were collected through a survey of 180 farming households, focus group discussions (FGDs), and participatory on-farm experiments. Three promising farming models were identified: crop rotation of hybrid melons and vegetables, polyculture of red tilapia and white-leg shrimp in freshwater, and intensive white-leg shrimp farming in brackish water. The experimental models, combined with technical interventions, showed higher economic efficiency than conventional models, while improving soil and water quality and enhancing resilience to extreme weather events. The study proposed a three-phase CSA scaling roadmap, initially targeting households with farming experience and financial capacity, then expanding to more vulnerable groups. Supporting solutions include technical interventions (soil, water, and seed management), market linkages, credit access, and integration of CSA into local planning. The findings confirmed that CSA is a feasible approach to improve livelihoods and climate resilience in Giao Thuy district.
