Sustainable ecological agriculture

Develop a system of agricultural production zones that are clean, ecological, organic, and diversified in order to create a safe habitat for cranes, while also maintaining biodiversity in the buffer zone of the National Park. This system will also serve as a link to ecotourism and generate safe organic agricultural products to improve the income of the community living around the buffer zone of the National Park.

Implementation will be divided into 2 phases:

• Phase 1: 2023 - 2027
• Phase 2: 2028 - 2032

Specific objectives:
Implement "Ecological Rice Production combined with Sarus Crane Conservation and Development at Tram Chim National Park" (area adjacent to Zone A4 of Tram Chim National Park) including enclosure No. 25 in Phu Duc commune and enclosure No. 43b in Tan Cong Sinh commune. Starting from the Winter-Spring crop 2023-2024 to 2027, achieving an area of 200 hectares and by 2032, expanding the model to the buffer zone.
Form an ecological - organic rice area that will be a place to restore biodiversity, mitigate the impact of rice cultivation using chemicals, and take advantage of the flood season.

• Develop the ecological - organic rice area as a place with the potential to build a brand (branding) of crane rice (Seu/Crane Rice) in domestic and international markets.
• Link the ecological - organic rice area with ecotourism - garden tourism, and create safe agricultural products for the domestic and export markets to increase income and improve health for the community living around the buffer zone of Tram Chim National Park.
