VIETNAM’s successful transformation from the country fighting food insecurity to agriculture powerhouse was rooted in science, policy, and trust.
The Southeast Asian country’s successful transformation was recently shared by Lai Thai Binh, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to the Philippines, during a forum at the headquarters of the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca) in Laguna.
The forum, the fourth installment of Searca’s Meet the Diplomat Series, gathered scientists, students, and policymakers to discuss how cross-border cooperation can turn research into rural prosperity.
