Livelihood diversification and rural-urban linkages in Vietnam’s Red River Delta por Thanh, Hoang Xuan, Anh, Dang Nguyen, Tacoli, Cecilia

“…The long-term sustainability of economic growth and poverty reduction in the Red River Delta will largely depend on strengthening rural-urban linkages. This includes adopting regulations on land use that allow farmers to better respond to growing urban demand for high-value produce; incorporate more explicitly the needs of the handicraft micro-enterprises in existing and future policies and plans for rural industrialization; recognize and support the role of seasonal migration in rural local economic development; and address the changing planning and natural resource management needs of these urbanizing villages.…”
