The project aims to demonstrate ways to build a pilot model of suitable farming practice for conservation and effective use of fresh water on coastal sand dunes of Thua Duc commune
There are two sand dunes that contain high storage of fresh water in Thua Duc commune of Binh Dai district, Ben Tre province. However this resource is facing threat from many activities such as leveling of the dune for farming, uncontrolled use of water for vegetables farming, and using part of the sand dune as graveyard. Growing Penisetum purpuseum grass on sand dunes can be used as a pilot model to learn how efficient it is in vegetation sand dune for water recharge, as Penisetum purpuseum grass can grow fast and has high productivity for integrating with cow raising.
