Speaking at the opening of the forum, Deputy Minister Le Quoc Doanh affirmed the determination of the agricultural sector to achieve green, transparent and responsible growth goals, transforming the agricultural model according to three axes of “Ecological agriculture – Modern countryside – Smart farmers”.
The Deputy Minister said that, in the new development context, with the tendency of multi-sectoral approaches that integrate agriculture with multi-values, a new approach to sustainable agricultural landscape management in interaction of animals, plants and the environment to ensure the health of people and the planet are being paid great attention by many countries around the world.
Especially, Vietnam is a developing country towards the two goals of economic development and sustainability. Therefore, in order to achieve ecological, modern and green agriculture in relation to development and interaction with other activities but still ensure a sustainable natural landscape, Vietnam urgently needs new knowledge, lessons on theory and best practices around the world.
