Optimizing Sustainable Farming Practices for Enhanced Rice Yield in the Mekong Delta: A Case Study of Palau
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study delves into the intricate dynamics of Palau's agricultural landscape, exploring the multifaceted challenges faced by local farmers and the interconnected factors influencing crop yields. The research employs a comprehensive approach, investigating the relationships between climate resilience, soil health, farm size, and crop productivity. Through quantitative analyses, including correlation, regression, and comparative studies, the study unveils nuanced insights that contribute to the discourse on sustainable agriculture in the Pacific region. Practical recommendations emerge, emphasizing the need for context-specific interventions to bolster climate resilience, promote soil health, and support small-scale farmers. As Palau navigates the complexities of its agricultural symphony, this study provides a harmonious composition of findings and recommendations for cultivating resilience and productivity in the nation's agricultural sector.
