Illustration of how the information on vulnerability can be produced and utilized for rural extension services.
The AEZ identifies the most vulnerable areas regarding dryland rice. Additional information included in the system, such as how many rural families are affected and their respective ethnic and age distribution characteristics, or what are acceptable alternative crops in the current year, can be used to conduct rural support activities (e.g. by locally active NGOs) such as distribution of seeds and farming advice.
