Summary:

Since 2014, CGFED has collaborated with the Hai Hau District Women’s Union to build up a group of pioneering female farmers who do not use pesticides in agricultural production, develop a model of closed loop agriculture without waste through raising earth worms. Within 2 years, up to December 2016, 7 farmer groups were trained with the participation of 87 farmers (6 males and 81 females). This ecological agriculture model in the communes helped to reduce the use of pesticides in the production of vegetables, without using the growth stimulants in livestock breeding. On the other hand, the model also helps increase incomes of household members (30-50%) due to input costs for production are reduced by half compared to conventional production.
