Published in Qu\u1ea3ng Ng\u00e3i Newspaper.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\"><strong>THE MAN PURSUING NATURE-ALIGNED AGRICULTURE<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\"><strong>(Quang Ngai Newspaper) \u2013 In June 2018, a small, lovely shop selling vegetables and fruit free from agricultural chemicals, along with preservative-free products, opened on Ng\u00f4 S\u1ef9 Li\u00ean Street in Quang Ngai City. This was one of the first steps of V\u0169 Ng\u1ecdc Minh (1987), who left a large company after 8 years to explore and pursue natural farming.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">After graduating in mechanical engineering from the University of Technology, Minh worked at a large company in Dung Qu\u1ea5t Economic Zone. In 2017, a friend introduced him to a gardening model at Hu\u1ebf City\u2019s Center for Children with Disabilities, and Minh spent 5 days there planting, tending, and harvesting vegetables and fruit with the children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">Minh then realized the gardens not only produced clean agricultural products but also helped improve the children\u2019s illnesses. He therefore spent a year studying natural agriculture in greater depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\"image center\" width=\"700\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/baoquangngai.vn\/dataimages\/201906\/original\/images2211123_NNTHUANTN.jpg\" alt=\"V\u0169 Ng\u1ecdc Minh inspects products on sale at the store.\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"image_desc\"><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">V\u0169 Ng\u1ecdc Minh inspects products on sale at the store.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">Although he felt some regret after spending 8 years building his career, the joy farming brought Minh led him to decide to formally leave his job at the company. First, Minh visited vegetable gardens and sought to persuade local people to sell the vegetables they grew \u201cfor their own families to eat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">The same goes for fruit: Minh spends time finding orchard owners who reject chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Minh shared that finding naturally grown vegetables and fruit without chemical fertilizers or crop protection chemicals is very difficult, but he perseveres because he wants to help change people's farming practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">Since the start of 2018, Minh has noticed more and more young people nationwide sharing a commitment to farming in harmony with nature. To obtain clean supplies, Minh partners with like-minded groups across provinces and cities, including young people growing clean vegetables and fruit in \u0110\u00e0 L\u1ea1t and a group in Hu\u1ebf producing beans\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">Alongside fresh produce such as vegetables, roots and fruit, Minh\u2019s store now also offers dry goods such as rice, brown rice, mung beans, red beans, black beans and turmeric powder, as well as partially processed products such as seasonings, noodles, kudzu starch and tofu made from non-GMO soybeans, using salt water rather than sour whey to coagulate it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">Although supply was limited, mainly serving retail sales and orders through social media, what mattered most was Minh's desire to bring clean agricultural products to consumers. For that reason, the prices of these goods did not differ from those of products sold at the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\">With an initial direction toward nature-aligned agriculture, Minh's group is implementing an agroforestry model combining long-term and short-term crops, medicinal plants, vegetables, and more. Minh believes emphasizing produce quality not only raises agricultural value but also protects consumers' health, including that of one's own loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\"><strong>Text and photos: HU\u1ef2NH TH\u1ea2O<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\"><strong>Original article link:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/baoquangngai.vn\/channel\/2025\/201907\/nguoi-deo-duoi-nong-nghiep-thuan-tu-nhien-2953965\/index.htm\">http:\/\/baoquangngai.vn\/channel\/2025\/201907\/nguoi-deo-duoi-nong-nghiep-thuan-tu-nhien-2953965\/index.htm<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>C\u00e2u chuy\u1ec7n kh\u1edfi nghi\u1ec7p n\u00f3i kh\u00f4ng v\u1edbi thu\u1ed1c h\u00f3a h\u1ecdc v\u00e0 ch\u1ea5t b\u1ea3o qu\u1ea3n trong n\u00f4ng nghi\u1ec7p c\u1ee7a b\u1ea1n V\u0169 Ng\u1ecdc Minh \u2013 m\u1ed9t h\u1ecdc vi\u00ean c\u1ee7a YUP \u2013 v\u1ec1 n\u00f4ng s\u1ea3n s\u1ea1ch.
