At the same time, build and replicate over 600 environmentally friendly organic waste treatment models. The activities have contributed to raising awareness and gradually changing farmers' behavior in treating agricultural by-products and leftover food in an environmentally friendly way.

Through research, in Yen Ninh town (Yen Khanh district, Ninh Binh province), there are over 150 farming households applying environmentally friendly organic waste treatment techniques.

Mr. Pham Van Tuan - Chairman of Yen Ninh Town Farmers' Association said: "After participating in training courses for source lecturers organized by the Central Association and Ninh Binh Province Farmers' Association, Yen Ninh Town Farmers' Association has proactively surveyed, grasped the needs and accompanied and supported members and farmers in the area to apply techniques from the Project".

"In the coming time, the Yen Ninh Town Farmers' Association will continue to promote and replicate the models, as well as apply the Project's techniques to solve the problem of environmental pollution, while creating a valuable source of organic fertilizer. In addition, it will create a source of nutritious food for livestock, increasing income for members and farmers from organic waste," Mr. Tuan added.
