Home to 177 million people – 36 percent of them poor and vulnerable – the Asian mega-deltas of Mekong, Ayeyarwady and Ganges-Brahmaputra are biodiverse, fertile, and productive food baskets that support millions within and beyond the deltas. With the potential to improve the sustainability of local food systems, they ensure the food, nutrition, and livelihood security for millions of others beyond the delta residents themselves.
