NATURE+ in Vietnam: Country report 2022-2024

CGIAR’s Nature-Positive Solutions Initiative made substantial progress in Northern Vietnam, alongside rural, Indigenous communities who were the Initiative’s main partners. The hilly landscapes are rich in threatened and understudied agrobiodiversity, which some communities still successfully cultivate. To help landholders address soil degradation and unsustainable agricultural intensification, NATURE+ and partners studied traditional crops, promoted their sustainable use and conservation through value chains, and supported circular bioeconomy practices. Additional work focused on true-cost accounting for food systems and landscape restoration. The Initiative’s work in Vietnam is confidently positioned for continuity and growth as part of the CGIAR Research Program 2025-2030.
