Resolution 57 Creates Momentum for Agricultural Science in Vietnam

The Vietnamese agricultural sector is poised for a significant boost thanks to Resolution 57. This resolution focuses on increasing investment in science and technology, aiming to reach 2% of the nation's GDP. This commitment to agricultural science is expected to drive innovation and address key challenges facing the industry. A key component of Resolution 57 is the "public investment - private governance" model. This approach encourages collaboration between public research institutions and private entities, fostering a more dynamic and responsive research environment. Increased funding will enable modernization of research infrastructure and attract top talent, crucial for developing sustainable agricultural practices. The resolution also addresses the need for efficient technology transfer by allowing research institutions to establish businesses. This will streamline the process of bringing new discoveries, such as improved crop varieties, to farmers and the market. By fostering innovation and collaboration, Resolution 57 aims to equip Vietnamese agriculture to overcome challenges in food security and climate change adaptation.
