PGS. Dr. Le Van Hung – Representative of the Institute of Applied Environmental Remediation Research (IET), The course chairperson gives the opening speech of the course
Opening speech of the course. Associate Professor, Dr. Le Van Hung said: To serve the certification of organic and safe agricultural products, Need to clearly understand domestic organic standards as well as some of Vietnam's major export markets such as the EU or Japan. Want to do this, It is urgent to have software that records the history of the production process. So, Institute of Applied Environmental Treatment Research (IET) agreed to coordinate with the Conformity Certification Center (QUACERT) under the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Vietnam Institute of Technology Application and Agricultural Development (VITAD-AGRI) on organizing training courses and introducing TCVN Standards, JAS, EU on organic agriculture, Safe production according to VietGAP and V software instructions- Standard serves for product certification according to the above standards. This is a project to digitize agricultural standards management, support farmers, Cooperatives and stakeholders comply with standards, transparent traceability and enhance the value of agricultural products through the website & mobile app. This course will provide practical guidance on using the V-Standard platform (keep a diary, production operations management, …) and traceability processes.
MSc Nguyen Thi Hai Xuan, Conformity Certification Center specialist (QUACERT) – Course coordination
Next, MSc Nguyen Thi Hai Xuan, Conformity Certification Center specialist (QUACERT) – Course coordination – presented a brief overview of organic certification according to JAS standards, TCVN and introduction The lecturer of the course is MSc Doan Trung Dung, Conformity Certification Center specialist (QUACERT) Start training program.
MSc Doan Trung Dung – Conformity Certification Center specialist (QUACERT) – Course instructor.
In the first part of the program, MSc Dung introduced Vietnamese standards (TCVN 11041), Japanese standards (JAS) and EU regulations (Reg.2018/848) about organic agriculture. The presentation is quite detailed, from the principles of production to the main steps in organic agricultural production. He introduced "Functional planning diagram: "Ideal circular organic farming model", From there, we point out the basic principles in administrative agriculture according to the criteria: Target, Input, Pests, Energy and waste; Analyze organic production steps in sequence: Select production area; Selection, Input management and use; Control of organic production; Preliminary processing – Processing – Packaging – Preservation; Labeling.
Functional planning diagram of the ideal circular organic farming model
Next part, MSc Dung explains the differences between organic standards/regulations. This is a particularly important point because it helps businesses, Agricultural cooperatives understand the requirements for their products depending on the needs of domestic distribution or export to which country/region.. Difference about: Management mechanism; Certificate validity; Certified subject; Input materials; Production process; Conversion time; Labeling and Sales are thoroughly analyzed and taught by him. The most prominent points of difference between the standards are: There is no equivalent mechanism, only bilateral recognition and certificate validity (TCVN 11041: Max 02 year; JAS: There is no deadline; ME: Max 03 year).
After finishing the lecture on organic standards, Course instructor – Master Doan Trung Dung received some comments and questions from the students, Among them are two "outstanding" issues today. Doctor of organic chemistry Nguyen Van Ngoc – Representative of Tien Dong Investment Joint Stock Company (specializes in producing and trading organic fertilizers) I believe that finding an organic certification organization is quite time-consuming, while the validity of the certificate is only two years, After two years, it must be reissued. Ms. Vo Thi Thanh Nhan – Representative of VFARM Geo-ecological High-Tech Agricultural Cooperative (specializes in manufacturing and trading biological products and clean agricultural products) reflects the situation of mixing unclean products with organic products, causing risks affecting human health and the income of businesses., The organic agricultural cooperative is genuine but currently there is no force to inspect and punish promptly.
MSc Dung replied, Although the certificate validity period is different in each country, but also the EU (Italy 03 year, France and Germany 01 year), JAS (indefinitely) or TCVN (02 year) But they all have in common the requirement for annual compliance inspection by a certification organization/competent organization.. In case of violation, The certificate will be revoked or suspended immediately, no matter how long the deadline is on the paper. The real value lies in maintaining an organic management system on a daily basis to pass unscheduled or annual inspections. Particularly with Japanese JAS standards, Discipline in maintaining records is a vital factor for businesses/cooperatives because they do not use the expiration and re-issuance mechanism like Vietnam or the EU..
Regarding the situation of mixing unclean products with organic products, MSc Dung explained that the State and authorities are currently looking for mitigation solutions, prevent this situation and will gradually put it into law. One of the solutions is to create Vi-Standard software to record the history of the production process for third-party certification. 3 for products that comply with the above standards and VietGAP standards that we will install and instruct on use after the break.
Dr. Pham Dinh Nam introduced the Hikari Da Lat high-tech agriculture model
After recess, Dr. Pham Dinh Nam spent a few minutes introducing the Hikari Da Lat high-tech agriculture model with the third largest export processing factory in Southeast Asia and a growing area of up to 250 hectares., including fruit and vegetable jelly products, which are snacks that students enjoy during break time. According to him, Large agricultural corporations like Hikari will need agricultural standards management software, support farmers, Cooperatives and stakeholders comply with standards, transparent traceability and enhance the value of agricultural products like V-Standard.
Completely agree with Dr. Nam's opinion, Course instructor – Master Dung leads the lesson to part two: Instructions for using V-Standard – Software to record the history of the production process for third-party certification 3 for products that comply with the above standards and VietGAP standards:
– Step 1, Install V-Standard software via QR code or link https://onelink.to/zhwysm .
– Step 2, Register an account, Users need to register information according to the table, in which the information is marked * cannot be left blank.
– Step 3, Log in to your registered account.
– The next steps are performed through an interface that is relatively easy to input: See standard, Keep a diary; Manage; Personal profile. These sections are branched for ease of use, update.
MSc Dung just explained, Instructions for both in-person and online students to install and try out this software.
Main page interface of the software
Due to limited time, Class ends at 11:45 a.m., After all students have downloaded the V-Standard software, setting, Register an account, Successfully logged in and used some main items of the software, Take a survey about your experience with this software.
The attending members took souvenir photos at the end of the class
After class, The members who directly attended the lesson sat down together to discuss more about the lesson. There are some opinions that V-Standard software is easy to use and especially useful in the standards library., Convenient for searching, especially foreign standards/regulations such as the EU, JAS have all been translated into Vietnamese; However, the interface is not eye-catching and there are a lot of steps, may cause omissions or errors. MSc Dung and MSc Xuan are very happy and look forward to receiving suggestions to help QUACERT soon complete this software.. The course organizers propose to organize seminars related to organic farming and modern application software suitable for this profession in the future., At the same time, we also hope that there will be more similar training sessions in the near future to disseminate knowledge related to organic farming and soon put V-Standard software into effective application after completion at the host units of participating students as well as businesses., Other agricultural cooperatives nationwide.

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.

Agricultural regeneration and organic: The future of global agriculture
Ninh Binh Prof. Dr. André Leu said, Agricultural regeneration is being farmers, Farmers' organizations, Food Group, Textile and government across the continent support.
Global organic agriculture is at an important turn
Opening of the Asian Organic Conference
World lesson on sustainable organic agriculture development
In the presentation at the Asian organic conference 8 Taking place from the date 17 – 19/9 In Ninh Binh, GS.TS André Leu – International Director of Regeneration International (RI), Former International IFOAM president (Organics International), At the same time, he is a farmer organic agriculture regenerative shared important perspectives on the path to global agricultural development in the context of the climate and environmental crisis..
From the agricultural crisis to the formation of the regeneration movement
According to Mr. Leu, before year 2015, The concept of "regeneration agriculture" is almost rarely mentioned. But after only one decade, It has become a common term in the global press, Associated with environmental discussions, Climate change and sustainable development.
Year 2015, Leaders of many organic movements, Ecological Agriculture, Synthetic Agriculture, Environmental movements, Natural health has established Ri. The founding steering committee includes Dr. Vandana Shiva, Ronnie Cummins, TS. His Lord, Steve Rye and Prof. Dr. André Leu. Or 10 year, Currently Ri has expanded 680 Partnership 80 nation, becoming a global cooperation network with great influence.
GS.TS André Leu, International Director of Regeneration International, Former International IFOAM president (Organics International) assume, The conversion from industrial agriculture is an urgent requirement. Image: Hong Tham.
Mr. Leu pointed out, Industrial agriculture is an existing threat to the planet due to its natural degeneration. This is the cause of 80% deforestation and loss of biodiversity, Also a large source of greenhouse gas emissions. Industrial breeding system consumes 10 Kg of plant protein for production 1 kg of animal protein, both ineffective and destroy the environment.
Besides that, overuse of pesticides and Chemical fertilizer has left serious consequences for human health and the ecosystem. So according to him, The transition from industrial agriculture is an urgent requirement to protect the health of people and the welfare of all other species in this planet..
International regeneration standards and conversion roadmap
One of the key orientations that Mr. Leu mentioned was the concept of "organic 3.0 – Organic 3.0”, Consider organic agriculture as a "lighthouse" leading the change, contribute to improving the sustainability of the orthodox agricultural systems.
However, in the process of cooperation, He and his colleagues also encountered strong opposition to organic agriculture, Especially the production models have achieved organic certification.
If you choose words like "organic" or "ecological agriculture", there will be many opinions of the parties involved, Such as agroforestry combined, General cultivation, Sustainable farming ... so, Ri chose the term "rebirth" (regenerative) – A clear concept, neutral, Help approach farmers and stakeholders in an open way. “Rebirth” is also a concept that resonates deeply with most people.
Regenerative agriculture is a sustainable farming method that restores and improves land quality, fertility, biodiversity, water resources and overall ecosystem. Image: RI.
The current, regenerative agriculture were farmers, Farmers' organizations, Food Group, textile and many governments around the world support. Remarkable, This movement did not originate from corporations or academics but was promoted by farmers themselves – who directly face the challenge of climate change and environmental degradation.
Another highlight of Mr. Leu's presentation was the RI International Renewable Standard released in November 3/2025.
This standard is available exclusively to thoroughly evaluated organic certification bodies because they have the most effective systems in verifying production practices and preventing fraud..
Mr. Leu said, The reason for the new standard is by the state of California (America) once issued a definition of regenerative agriculture but allowed the use of toxic chemicals and genetically modified organisms – goes against the spirit of "rebirth".
According to RI standards, Regenerative agricultural producers can be certified at two levels. One is class A regenerative agriculture – meets all requirements. The second is regenerative agriculture in the transition period – are in the process of meeting all requirements.
There is no specific deadline for standards practitioners to progress to Class A regenerative agriculture certification. However, All regenerative agriculture certified practitioners during the transition period must clearly state the timeframe and methods for eliminating prohibited inputs and practices. This should be reviewed annually, focus on continuous improvement.
Mr. Leu emphasized: “We encourage farmers to take the first step towards positive change. This is often the most difficult aspect of any transition. According to our research, One of the main reasons why many farmers are hesitant to participate in certified organic production is the requirement for a long conversion period. 3 year”.
“With our standards, Producers can easily achieve regenerative certification during the transition period. Therefore, We have made it simple for farmers to start their journey to becoming regenerative, with the ultimate goal of achieving Grade A regeneration certification”, Mr. Leu added.
Prof. Dr. André Leu is currently the International Director of Regeneration International (RI) from year 2017. Before that, He once held the position of President of IFOAM International (Organics International) from year 2011 come 2017 – the only global representative organization for the organic farming sector. He is a leading expert on nature-based ecological farming systems with over 50 Five years of experience in regenerative organic agriculture, focus on agroecology (agroecology).

The Conference is conducted by experts “Carbon credit” of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment&MT with scientists, Representatives of enterprises producing and trading forestry products, agriculture at home and abroad.
At the beginning of the seminar is the essay by Dr. Pham Thu Thuy, Forestry and environment researcher. She introduced the basic concepts of "Carbon credits", "Carbon pricing" or "Determination of floor prices and ceiling prices" of this pricing.
Dr. Pham Thu Thuy introduces basic concepts of "Carbon credits", "Carbon pricing" or "Determination of floor prices and ceiling prices"
Carbon credit is what?
Carbon credit (carbon credit) is a certificate of exhaust emissions2 or other greenhouse gases converted to CO2. Inside, The seller is the ability to reduce or increase carbon absorption compared to the reference level. Each carbon credit corresponds to a ton of CO2 or the amount of greenhouse gas converted equivalent to CO2 has been prevented or removed. Quantity CO2 The newly planted trees can be absorbed compared to this scenario will be considered as an increase in carbon absorption compared to the reference level. How many tons of this increase will be converted into "Carbon Credits"?.

Why has carbon credits?
“Carbon credit” Originated from the Kyoto Protocol (Kyoto Protocol) year 1997, An international agreement to control and minimize the global greenhouse gas emissions. Whereby, Participants committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, At the same time, it is allowed to exchange carbon emissions with each other in the international market through carbon credits. Since, Global carbon market, Where companies or countries are more than the prescribed levels can buy credits from organizations, Projects or countries have lower emissions or carbon absorption as one of the ways to achieve waste reduction goals.
How to operate of carbon credits:
– High emission enterprises:
Businesses whose emissions exceed the allowed limit will need to buy carbon credits from the market to offset these emissions..
– Project reduces emissions:
Businesses, Organizations or individuals invest in reducing emissions or eliminating greenhouses, For example, planting forests, Using renewable energy, will receive carbon credits.
– Trading market:
Carbon credits can be traded in the market, helps balance emissions between parties.
Purpose and meaning:
– Reduce climate change:
Carbon credits are an important tool in the market mechanism to mitigate the impact of climate change.
– Encourage green development:
Create financial motivation for businesses to invest in green technology, clean energy and environmentally friendly projects.
– Meet legal regulations:
Businesses can use carbon credits to comply with national and international regulations on emissions reduction.
Dr. Thuy also introduced the application of science and technology and AI to pricing, forecast forest carbon and urban forest using artificial intelligence combining satellite images and evolution of development in history + Future forecast (For example, Market demand, Buyer's hobbies, Potential forest carbon ...).
Dr. Pham Thu Thuy introduces the application of advances of science and technology and AI in valuation, Forest carbon forecast
After recess, Representatives of experts studying forest carbon valuation methods of the Forestry and Ranger Department- Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment&MT has announced the "draft method of forest carbon valuation", Specifically two main methods: Cost method (Including direct costs and indirect costs ”and comparison method (Based on the reference parameters of the same type).
