Abstract

Along its coast, the Vietnamese Mekong Delta has protected mangrove forests andbehind this a buffer zone of Integrated Mangrove Shrimp farms (IMS). Voluntaryadoption of IMS beyond the buffer zone is hampered by assumptions of farmersand policy-makers about profits compared to intensive shrimp monoculture.ALEGAMS developed a board-game allowing farmers to experience the financialconsequences of their decisions in shrimp farming, and assessed the effect ofplaying the board-game on farmer's learning and willingness to adopt IMS. Theplayers stated to have learned about Investment 8, operation costs, Management& technologies, IMS' profits, and risks of Intensive shrimp farming. Several monthafter having played 1-3 sessions, farmer's behavior had changed: slightly higherfrequency of weekly consultations and more persons consulted on practices &diseases, but increased suspicion about veterinary salesman, and technologytake-up after one training increased from 30 to 43%
