Description	This report summarizes findings from the project “Agroecological transitions for building resilient and inclusive agricultural and food systems (TRANSITIONS)” which is funded by the European Commission through its Development of Smart Innovation through Research in Agriculture (DeSIRA) initiative and managed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The Digital Tools regional work in Vietnam focused on research and engagement with digital tools for technical advice and performance assessment in sustainable rice production in the Mekong River Delta due to the high climate change impacts, climate change mitigation potentials and sustainability challenges. This report focused on the learnings from the field testing of 2 digital tools designed for the rice value chain. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were held in September 2022 in Can Tho province in the Mekong Delta with 24 farmers and extension agents. In March 2023 FGDs were held with 5 extension agents and 20 farmers working with Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) practices in the Dong Thap province of the Mekong Delta.
