Learn from a local Vietnamese farmer about his daily organic practices of farming and how he integrates smart technology. Organic agriculture practices in Vietnam have been steadily increasing over the past few decades. Organic farming is popular among small-scale farmers, who account for 90% of agricultural production in Vietnam (Hanh & Karantininis, 2019). Organic farming is also common in rural areas, where farmers have limited access to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farming in Vietnam is regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) and the Vietnam Organic Agriculture Association (VOAA). MARD has developed a set of standards for organic farming, which include the use of organic fertilizers, crop rotation, and the prohibition of synthetic pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) (Hanh & Karantininis, 2019).

Smart technologies can enhance the productivity and efficiency of organic farming in Vietnam. The use of sensors, drones, and precision agriculture can help farmers monitor soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels in real-time (Nguyen, Vo, & Nguyen, 2020). These technologies can help farmers optimize crop yield, reduce water consumption, and minimize the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Smart technologies can also improve food safety and traceability by enabling farmers to track the production and distribution of their crops (Nguyen, Vo, & Nguyen, 2020).
