摘要

In recent years, across tropical regions of the world, there has been an expansion of integrated farming systemsthat combine rice and shrimp production. While these systems were developed as a form of crop-rotation –growing rice in the wet season and shrimp in the dry season – some farmers grow both rice and brackish-watershrimp simultaneously during the wet season. Climatic variability has resulted in considerable crop losses in thissystem across many regions. Research has yet to identify the complete array of key risk factors, and their potentialinteractions, for integrated rice-shrimp farming. Consequently, different farming practices and environmentalfactors that may affect crop production need to be clarified to guide research efforts. We applied a staged,iterative process to develop a probabilistic Bayesian belief network based on expert knowledge that describes therelationships that contribute to the risk of failure of both crops in integrated rice-shrimp farming systems duringthe wet season. We applied the approach in the Southern Mekong Delta, Vietnam, in the context of a broaderresearch program into the sustainability of the rice-shrimp farming system. The resulting network represents theexperts' perceptions of the key risk factors to production and the interactions among them. While both farmersand extension officers contributed to the identification of the processes included in the network, the farmersalone provided estimates of the probability of the relationships among them. The network identified the challengesto minimise the risk of failure for both crops, and the steps farmers can take to mitigate some of them.Overall, farmers perceived they have a better chance to minimise risk of failure for shrimp rather than rice crops,and limited opportunities appear to exist for successful production of both. By engaging the farmers in thisprocess of model development, we were able to identify additional research questions for the broader researchteam and to identify simple steps the farmers could take to reduce the risk of crop failure. Integrating additionalempirical data into this network, as it becomes available, will help identify clear opportunities for improvementsin farming practices which should reduce the risk of crop failure into the future.
