Pathways for Green Transformation in agriculture in Vietnam

Abstract

Agriculture plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security, rural livelihoods, and economic growth, yet it also exerts significant pressure on the environment through greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, and water pollution. This paper examines the dynamic relationship between agricultural development and environmental sustainability in Vietnam, emphasizing the opportunities and challenges of transforming the agricultural sector toward a green, low-carbon future. Green growth in agriculture plays a crucial role in the ongoing economic restructuring towards sustainability, given its specific approach to resource utilization to fulfill developmental needs.
