Vietnam environmental initiatives focus on waste management and sustainable farming

In Gia Lai, the Department of Agriculture and Environment held a workshop to gather feedback on drafting technical and economic norms for domestic waste collection, transportation, and processing services. The initiative follows updated laws regarding agricultural and environmental sectors, aiming to establish standardized procedures for public sanitation. Participants included representatives from various local departments, service providers, and consulting units to ensure the norms reflect local geographical and infrastructural realities.

In Dak Lak, the ‘Harvesting Potential’ project, implemented by CARE and partners with support from the PepsiCo Foundation, hosted a community event focused on environmental protection and sustainable agriculture. The program utilized interactive activities, such as waste sorting exercises, to teach families about responsible resource management. The project aims to promote regenerative agriculture, focusing on long-term soil health, efficient water use, and improved livelihoods for local farming communities.
