Lao PDR - Climate change - TDK8 improved variety of rice

A rice field of TDK8 improved variety which matures quicker than the traditional varieties, Namai village, Feung district, Vientiane province, Laos. The 210-year-old village, home to 878 people, has changed significantly over the past 15 years, with the arrival of a paved road, electricity and clean drinking water. But alongside this welcome progress climate change has brought unprecedented and unpredictable new weather patterns, disrupting harvests and lifestyles in this farming-dependent community.
