Many thanks Sayama. Such an important article.

Need more research on food systems in Burma. As climate change starts kicking in, and the country reels from coup and counter-coup, food security is going to be a huge challenge.

Thanks Ashley! Also pls just call me Thin. Still not used to being called Sayama.

And we definitely need more research on food systems in Burma. I'm particularly keen to know if/how historical bias and governments' support towards rice cultivation may have affected our diets, health, and soils. And I'm saying this as a rice lover!

Very interesting.

I'm doing research with KNU on changes in precipitation and temperature, impacts on agriculture, and local adaptationsin the 7 Districts.

'Quick and dirty' research, so at least we have some sort of baseline.

Just getting started.

I sent you my book on Conflict, Complexity and Climate Change in Burma since the Coup?
