VNFU Central Committee coordinated with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to hold a conference to discuss solutions to improve the capacity of farmers in the Mekong Delta region to proactively respond to drought and saltwater intrusion; organize a workshop on "Strengthening the cooperation between VNFU at all levels and the natural resources and environment sector in applying the Law on Environmental Protection in life"; annually, jointly organize the launching ceremony of "Tree planting festival eternal gratitude to the great Uncle Ho"; responding to the National Week of Clean Water and Sanitation, World Environment Day, Environmental Action Month; Make the world cleaner campaign; World Oceans Day; Vietnam Sea and Islands Week, etc. Provincial and city FUs actively survey to grasp the current situation of the rural environment and pressing issues of environmental pollution in rural areas to build program and plan of activities for environmental protection and improvement for each year and each period according to local environmental protection requirements. Launching movements of farmers emulating environmental resources, responding to climate change and sustainable development such as: "Farmers become green consumers", "Farmers’ Union protects the environment and builds new-style rural areas" associated with "The movement of farmers emulating good production and business, uniting to help each other get rich and sustainable poverty reduction".

New technology application models are suitable to the economic conditions, customs and qualifications of the people, bringing practical effects, solving the problem of environmental pollution in the locality.


Typical models are: “Collect, classify and treat organic waste into fertilizer, contributing to environmental protection”; “Farmers’ Union participates in improving sanitary conditions and reducing rural environmental pollution in new rural construction”; “Mobilizing farmers to build hygienic latrines and livestock barns”; "The field without the packaging of pesticides"; “Say no to plastic bags and plastic waste”; “Clean house, clean road, clean field”; "Protect marine environment"; “Clean from home to alley”; “Environmental sanitation trumpet”; "Clean village, good field, beautiful homeland", "Model of application of microbial products in agricultural production towards biosecurity"; “Model of collective groups and cooperatives applying high technology along the value chain”, “Building sluices to prevent saltwater intrusion, planting scattered trees on canals to prevent wind, storms, floods and climate change”; “Self-managed farmers road”; "Farmers' tree rows"; "Farmer's garden"…Many models have been highly evaluated by all levels, sectors and people as effective practical methods and have been replicated in many localities.
