Green Growth in Agriculture in Vietnam: Awareness and Strategy for Development
Keywords:
Green growth, agriculture, green growth in agriculture, Vietnam.Abstract
Green growth in agriculture plays a crucial role in the ongoing economic restructuring towards sustainability, given its specific approach to resource utilization to fulfill developmental needs. Vietnam has implemented various solutions to foster green growth in agriculture, yielding tangible results. However, a number of issues need to be resolved, namely the awareness of converting green growth models in agriculture among managers and producers, the collection and treatment of waste, the fear of applying microbial organic fertilizers widely, the legal system on green growth in agriculture, the ineffective implementation of the policy of land consolidation, land exchange, and forming consolidated large-scale fields. This study aims to elucidate key aspects related to awareness, strategy, and the capacity to actualize green growth initiatives in agriculture, drawing insights from both domestic and foreign organizational documents. Consequently, there is a need to enhance awareness and strategy, supplemented by refining institutions and policies, and a focus on investing in resource development to meet the demands of green growth in Vietnamese agriculture.
