Urban agriculture is transforming

Following the footsteps of engineers, scientists and farmers in Phuoc Hoa, Binh Gia communes and the Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Agricultural Zone, SGGP reporters recorded the strong transformation journey of urban agriculture. Research on seed selection, tissue culture, microbiological analysis... has been practically applied through greenhouse systems, automatic irrigation, circulating hydroponics, humidity sensors and phone-controlled software...

Every product – from chili peppers, tomatoes, orchids, lingzhi mushrooms to bio-algae – bears the mark of technology and innovation. From bright labs to green fields, Ho Chi Minh City’s agriculture is gradually modernizing, moving towards a green, smart and sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
