High-tech manufacturing has helped raise public awareness of sustainable agriculture .

Promote new production movements

The vegetable garden produced according to the new process of Hue Hydroponic Cooperative, in Thuy Luong Ward (now Huong Thuy Ward) is one of the high-tech farming models. created, the model is implemented using advanced methods, clean vegetable growing techniques designed by the unit in a greenhouse, applying drip irrigation technology and Israeli cooling process, with irrigation system, fertilizer injection, air conditioning ventilation fan... by automatic control system via wifi network.

Director of Hue Hydroponic Agriculture Cooperative Ngo Xuan Phuoc shared that high-tech agriculture has contributed to reducing pollution and responding to climate change through models such as growing plants in greenhouses or vertical farming. Thereby, it has contributed to promoting new production movements and raising public awareness of sustainable agriculture.

Along with the vegetable growing designed in greenhouses, the application of irrigation and the cooling process of Israeli technology, the clean vegetable drip production model of this cooperative is also carried out with the hydroponic process, which is the technique of growing plants in nutrient solutions, also known as growing plants in water or growing plants without soil. According to Mr. Ngo Xuan Phuoc, this clean vegetable production process brings economic value nearly twice as high as conventional production, because the market favors and trusts it...

The vegetable garden of Hue Hydroponic Cooperative is also a high-tech farming model that is being applied and invested in quite popularly in Hue City. This model includes agricultural production activities suitable for urban and suburban spaces such as growing clean vegetables, ornamental flowers, aquaculture, small-scale livestock farming, etc. In fact, urban agricultural models in Hue have recently contributed to providing fresh, clean food sources on the spot, reducing dependence on transportation from rural areas, creating stable income and jobs for urban residents.

Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Le Van Anh said that, based on practical needs, most enterprises in the agricultural sector have invested in research and application of advanced science and technology in production, aiming to improve productivity, product quality and production and business efficiency. Along with high-tech cultivation, Hue city has been implementing many sustainable aquaculture agricultural models, applying ecological technology to protect the lagoon environment. The city is also making good use of natural landscapes and cultural heritage to develop agricultural models combined with eco-tourism, organizing farms in the suburbs, combining agricultural production with tourism experiences, attracting visitors to learn about agriculture and Hue culture.

Development opportunities

According to the 2021-2030 Planning, with a vision to 2050, Hue City aims to develop a green, sustainable economy, with a service-industry-agricultural economic structure. In which, agriculture is identified as a pillar, especially urban agriculture, associated with heritage conservation and climate change adaptation.

Urban agriculture is moving towards a modern, high-quality model with a large investment rate for projects. However, the current obstacle in Hue is that the development of technical infrastructure such as greenhouses, warehouses, irrigation systems, etc. has not fully met the needs of developing high-tech urban agriculture. Investing in high-tech agriculture requires large capital, while many farmers and cooperatives lack advanced skills and technology. Another important issue is the market, ensuring output for products. The State needs to play a connecting role, finding output for high-tech agricultural products in high-end tourist facilities and exporting to demanding markets. This is considered a key factor.

According to Mr. Le Van Anh, to develop urban agriculture, in addition to applying high technology in development, it is necessary to build a research center and transfer appropriate agricultural technology, integrate urban agriculture into urban planning, prioritize the development of high-tech agricultural areas concentrated in suburban areas, and form agricultural production spaces associated with tourism. In addition, support the formation and development of high-tech agricultural enterprises; build high-tech agricultural zones and regions. Promote the development and replication of clean, high-value agricultural production models in ecological regions. Focus on training human resources for management and skilled labor, encouraging the private economic sector, enterprises, farms, and households to increase the application of science and technology and promote internal resources to improve the productivity, quality, and competitiveness of agricultural products and Hue specialties; Through tourism connections, such as eco-tourism, culinary tourism, and craft villages, to increase the value of agricultural production, thus forming production links according to the value chain...
