Conference title is: "Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Upland Livelihood: Innovations for, with and by Farmers to Adapt to Local and Global Changes".

The Conference is supported by the PAMPA consortium -which involves the French Development Agency (AFD), the French Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs (MAEE), the French Global Environment Facility (FFEM)- and by the Australian Centre for International Agriculture Research (ACIAR). It involves scientists from several Institutes working on Research for Development in Asia, including the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (AT), IRD, CNRS, the Hanoi University of Agriculture and the Vietnamese Academy for Agricultural Sciences (VAAS).

The Conference is being jointly organized by CIRAD, NOMAFSI and the University of Queensland as part of actions within the scope of international cooperation. It is part of several research for development projects targeting sustainable development of Uplands, including the ADAM Project “Support to Extension of Conservation Agriculture in Vietnam” and the project “Improved market engagement for sustainable upland production systems in the north-western highlands of Vietnam”.
