	BALCROP - Balanced Fertilization for Better Crops in Vietnam Among the nations of the world, Vietnam is ranked 58th in terms of area, but 12th in terms of population. Faced with such high population pressure, food security has become the over-riding political and economic goal in the country. The BALCROP project (funded by IFA) was implemented to optimize crop performance through the environmentally-friendly and economic use of fertilizers in agricultural production. The project supported cooperative research, extension and training, involving Vietnamese farmers, extension workers and representatives from agricultural institutions in Vietnam. >more
