The Mekong Conservancy Foundation (MCF) is established with a mission to research and address issues related to Livelihood, Education, Environment, and Natural Resources, contributing to the promotion of sustainable development in the Mekong Delta.
From 2020 to 2025, MCF will research and experiment with appropriate cultivation models for the coastal areas of the Mekong Delta in the direction of green, environmentally friendly production, and resilience to climate change and rising sea levels.
