Abstract
The Vietnam’s agricultural sector had to challenge with its course and learned lessons of further development. Novel policy might be adopted to encourage the private investments and sectors in agriculture. Furthermore, an introduction of new models such as climate-smart or green agriculture and application of modern technology increased productivity at the same time and creating jobs for millions of agricultural workers and reversing the massive rural-urban migration flux. Vietnam’s agricultural sector needs to maintain the reform momentum, particularly liberalization policy, and to boost up agricultural potential. Obstacles such as land limitation policy must be removed to enable large-scale production and encourage private investment in the agricultural sector. To avoid being trapped by its own success, Vietnam is now shifting the old development paradigm that focuses too much on the quantity to the quality of the agricultural production. The government makes major efforts to achieve at the same time agricultural growth, better livelihood of the farmer, and the development of the rural areas. However, Vietnam still needs to prepare a “transition strategy” to overcome the impact of the technological progress on the traditional agricultural workers.
Highlights
Nanomaterials can exist in three states: solid, liquid, and gas, in which solid nanomaterials are being studied the most, especially in the field of application in the agricultural system of developing countries such as Vietnam [1,2,3]
A more specific definition of nanotechnology is given by the American Association of Nanotechnology, according to which nanotechnology is the specialization of materials with a minimum size of 1-100 nanometers (1 billion nanometers is equal to 1 m) [4,5,6]
Nanotechnology offers new chemical agents and new delivery mechanisms to improve crop yields. This promises to reduce the amount of pesticide use in agricultural production
Summary
Nanotechnology offers new chemical agents and new delivery mechanisms to improve crop yields This promises to reduce the amount of pesticide use in agricultural production. Through recent reports on the application of nanotechnology in agricultural environments, researches have indicated that the overuse of nanomaterials to improve the quality of the environment helps detect and remediates pollution in different areas [4]. Nanomaterials allowed us to create integrated nanoproducts that helped plants grow and well develop and improved yield and quality of agricultural products [11]. Their chemicals helped plants increase resistance, thereby significantly reducing the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides used in cultivation, reducing environmental pollution, and contributing to sustainable agricultural development. (i) Seed treatment improves germination and growth rate, quality, and yield of products (ii) Make foliar fertilizers including necessary trace elements in each stage of plant growth (iii) Improve the efficiency of fertilizer use by applying controlled slow-release fertilizers (iv) Improve use efficiency and reduce pesticide costs by developing methods of delivering nutrients and drugs to their destination
