Delegates also gave suggestions for the project. Accordingly, Associate Professor, Dr. Le Quoc Doanh, Former Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (now the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment), Chairman of the Vietnam Gardening Association said, Planting projects to reduce emissions and projects to improve soil health were issued this month 10/2024 is the "backbone" of the farming industry in the new period. Dr. Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, Representative of Vietnam Rice Industry Association, assume, to achieve the reduction target 15% greenhouse gas emissions to year 2050, It is necessary to clearly quantify the tasks and goals of each component in the Project. Ms. Hoang Thi Lien, Chairman of Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association, The Production Project to reduce emissions in the farming sector has contributed to increasing the added value of Vietnamese agricultural products, create favorable conditions for domestic products to participate more deeply in the global value chain. Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Tri Ngoc, Vice Chairman of Vietnam General Association of Agriculture and Rural Development, Former Director of the Department of Crop Production, believes that the emission reduction farming project is on the right development path and is encouraged, that is green development, Organic, sustainable and with a clear market orientation. Dr. Le Van Tri, The Chairman of the Vietnam Biofertilizer Association proposed to consider adding rubber trees in the group of crops to convert cultivation forms...
Proposing a model for implementing the Project in localities
Dr. Cao Duc Phat, Former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Community Fund for Natural Disaster Prevention said, so that the transition to reduced-emission farming is effective and sustainable, need supplement 2 Large solution group: Adjust agricultural infrastructure to meet new requirements of green production, especially the irrigation system for rice and planning to mobilize resources for transformation on a national scale, Because if you only rely on the budget, it will be difficult to go long distances. According to Mr. Phat, in 7 Key task groups of the draft action plan, Policy is still the key factor. It is necessary to unify the view that farmers and businesses are the two central subjects, both the implementer, both a beneficiary. When you see specific benefits and receive support to overcome difficulties, They will actively participate, especially in the application of technical advances.
