Currently, people’s demand for clean food is increasing, and the clean agriculture model has since become a trend in Vietnam and many countries around the world. If you are also learning about this model, please follow the following article from Quality Viet!
Clean agriculture is known as an agricultural production and management system that helps avoid or minimize the use of pesticides and mixed fertilizers. This is an effective way to help reduce soil and water pollution.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, a clean agricultural model must have agricultural products that meet the following criteria:
The clean agricultural production model brings many benefits such as meeting consumer needs, contributing to limiting environmental pollution and bringing economic value to farmers.
Currently, on the market, dirty food of unknown origin is widespread. This is also the cause of serious diseases, making consumers very worried about food safety. Consumers are increasingly interested in products that are safe for their health, so developing clean agricultural models is the right direction to meet consumers’ demand for clean food.
Clean agriculture models often use farming methods to minimize the use of chemicals such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and plant protection chemicals. This helps limit negative impacts from the soil, air, and water environments and reduces environmental pollution.
Applying clean agricultural production models is a way to help increase product quality, which in turn also leads to increased commercial value and helps farmers increase their income significantly.
The clean agriculture model is the application of natural methods, strengthening and developing native ecosystems combined with smart management systems to help save water as well as balance farming conditions. Below are some safe, highly effective clean agricultural models that are being commonly applied that you can refer to.
By applying anti-insect net houses according to standards, it helps to limit attacks from harmful pests. This contributes to reducing or stopping the use of pesticides.
The amount of organic fertilizer used in growing safe vegetables accounts for 90% of the total amount of fertilizer used (priming and top dressing stages). Most organic fertilizer will come from cow and chicken manure, which easily meets fertilizer needs and transportation costs are also quite low.
IoT applied agriculture is the digitalization of activities in production, business, processing and consumption through sensor devices, automation, and operating technology.
Through the installation of sensors combined with management software, it helps to monitor farming conditions better, save irrigation water more effectively and stabilize crop productivity.
Above is a summary of information about the clean agricultural model that we want to introduce to you. It can be seen that applying clean agricultural production models is a way to help increase product quality, thereby creating consumer confidence and increasing farmers’ income.
