With the dream of getting rich on her homeland from agriculture , Ms. Ly Thi Nga, Ngoc Tri village, Binh Gia commune, started her chicken farming business in 2020. With the goal of creating clean, high-quality chicken products, she researched and learned, and by 2024 she had standardized the process of raising microbial herbal chickens under the forest canopy, switching from commercial farming to ecological farming. From 2024 to now, she has sold over 2,000 clean chickens to the market and raised over 1,000 clean egg-laying chickens, with a revenue of over 500 million VND. In 2024, her project "Raising microbial herbal chickens under the anise canopy" won first prize nationwide in the "Women's Creative Startup and Green Transformation" Contest organized by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union (VWU).

Ms. Nga shared: The model of raising chickens with medicinal herbs under the canopy of the ivy is a circular agricultural model, from organic farming to create raw materials for chicken feed to bio-safe farming. From the model, I want to bring clean and safe products to the market.

Ms. Lang Thi Tho, Doan Ket village, Na Sam commune, has also been successful with the model of processing and trading honey-marinated chewy pork products in the direction of clean agriculture. In 2024, Ms. Tho's project "Improving green transformation capacity and creating sustainable livelihoods for ethnic women through developing the Tho Lang herbal pork value chain" won the national consolation prize in the "Women's Creative Startup and Green Transformation" Contest organized by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union. Since the beginning of 2025, she has sold an average of about 400 boxes of honey-marinated chewy pork per month, with a revenue of 400 million VND, creating regular jobs for 2 female workers.

Ms. Tho said: My project applies a model of raising herbal pigs using vegetarian feed, without using animal protein, antibiotics or growth stimulants, creating a source of clean, safe meat. Utilizing agricultural by-products for food, reducing waste to the environment.
