  • Vietnam is the second-largest producer of coffee in the world, and the largest exporter of robusta beans.
  • Climate change poses a threat to the country’s coffee sector, while poor farming techniques cause environmental degradation.
  • A new report has found that intercropping (agroforestry) and decreased fertilizer use can change robusta farms from carbon sources to carbon sinks.
  • Such practices are present in Vietnam’s small specialty coffee industry, but large-scale commodity producers aren’t as innovative.

Chinese Power Projection Capabilities in the South China Sea

(This is the latest in a series of major updates to AMTI’s interactive maps of the Asia Pacific.)Since 2014, China has substantially expanded its ability to monitor and project power throughout the South China Sea via the construction of dual civilian-military bases at its outposts in the disputed Spratly and Paracel Islands. These include new radar and communications arrays, airstrips and hangars to accommodate combat aircraft, and deployments of mobile surface-to-air and anti-ship cruise missile systems.

Your secret gardens

4 Comments

I sincerely bet, everyone had a secret garden in childhood. Of course I did.

Don’t you see all children have an adventurous kind of spirit in their blood that constantly beckons them to take daring journeys into secret places. I, too, had that kind of spirit.

As a kid, no less than once, I wished to “escape” from home, to be independent, to pitch a tent in my own secret garden. It was a bush near my home, someone’s home that had been abandoned, where I happily believed no one would ever find me there, or it was simply a blanket tent in my bed. The secret garden is where, we, the kids were the King, the Queen and the Lords of our own Kingdom. Continue reading Your secret gardens →

The U.N. has called this exodus the “largest in the recent history of Latin America and the Caribbean.”

Thailand’s Inequality: Unpacking the Myths and Reality of Isan

Leave a comment

June 5, 2019

By Rattana Lao, Asia Foundation

For decades, the ethnically and linguistically diverse people of Isan, Thailand, have been the subject of pervasive bias, often described as docile and uneducated, or as “unsophisticated peasants” who can be bought and manipulated by ambitious politicians. Bordered by Laos and the Mekong River to the north and east, and by Cambodia to the southeast, these 20 provinces in Thailand’s northeast have long been the country’s poorest and least fertile region. But Isan is also Thailand’s most populous region, with 22 million inhabitants, 33% of the country’s total population. It is a population that matters deeply to the country’s future prosperity.

Prayer 646

The prayer series

Jesus,

I don’t like Đà Nẵng to become the second Singapore.

Why?

Đà Nẵng needs balance
between urban development and nature protection.
Singapore seems to know only urban development.
Singapore hasn’t got as many natural features as Đà Nẵng.
Singapore seems to know how to do the best with what it has.

However, Đà Nẵng should have a greater dream.

Amen.
