Turning waste into wealth in Vietnam: Dutch technology to convert livestock waste into valuable resources
July 31, 2025 | Agroberichten Buitenland (Nieuwsbericht) |
Livestock waste, which makes up nearly 80% of global agricultural waste, is a major source of water pollution, soil degradation and GHG emissions. To address this, Vietnam and the Netherlands are cooperating under their 2014 Strategic Partnership Arrangement (SPA) on Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security. Building on Dutch expertise in nutrient recycling and biogas, the social enterprise Verdant Biogas B.V. has introduced hybrid bio-digesters for small and medium farms in Vietnam. Successfully tested in the Mekong Delta and highlighted at a May 2025 seminar in Ben Tre province, these systems convert manure into renewable energy and organic fertilizer, providing clean cooking fuel, reducing pollution, and generating income for farmers. The initiative supports Vietnam’s net-zero by 2050 target while advancing circular agriculture and rural resilience.
