Australia–Vietnam collaboration powers sustainable & inclusive agriculture innovation
Ms Nguyen Huong Thao, Aus4Innovation Program Manager, presenting the Smart Carbon Farming project
The Carbon Smart Farming project supported by Aus4Innovation, showcased how cutting edge technology meets farmers needs at the APEC forum on Advancing Digital Rural Models for Sustainable Agriculture and Inclusive Growth.
Using real-world data to create a “Virtual Farm”, the project harnesses AI and machine learning to predict, advise, and act – empowering smarter decisions across Thanh Hoa Province.
Initial results speak volumes:
🌱 30%+ reduction in carbon emissions
🌾 Nearly 20% increase in rice yield
🗺️ A multi-level emissions map covering the entire province to support decision-making at the provincial level
This project is a strong example of Australia’s strong commitment to supporting Vietnam’s journey towards an inclusive green agricultural sector.
