Vietnamese society has entered the period known as Doi Moi – a time of renovation and global integration. These changes have had their impact on different aspects of the lives of ethnic regions, from the deltas and plateaus to the mountainous regions and even very remote areas. In a system where production is unregulated, all goods, including agricultural products, become commodities. All natural resources-forests (together with their flora and fauna), cultivated land, rivers, lakes, and ponds-promptly become the property of an owner. Land becomes more precious than ever, and farmers must rethink what to do with their shrinking lands.
