This paper presents a research where a Role Playing Game (RPG) and Agent Based Model (ABM) were combined to study and foster a social learning across shrimp farmers in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. The objective was to seek an improvement in awareness about the effects farming decisions have on environment sustainability in the region. The ABM is used to simulate farm-level decision-making and to evaluate the effects different scenarios have on key parameters related to the shrimp farming system. Role Playing Game was used to collect and validate data as well as to raise awareness. The first analyses done show that the effects of the RPG as a social learning intervention does not seem to be very strong. Data collected at two with an exit survey suggests weak effects directly after a playing session. For the ABM the business as usual scenario has been implemented which shows a slow decline in single intensive and improved extensive types of shrimp farming and an increase in hybrid systems combining integrated mangrove shrimp farming with more intensive types.
