Koos Neefjes - Director, Climate Sense Ltd. A lot of agricultural production can improve in greenhouses for vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. You can control insects and therefore reduce or eliminate the use of insecticides, and you can reduce the amount of water consumed, harvest rainwater, and control drainage for treatment and reuse. Circular economy techniques are also easy to apply, including the composting of residues. Many of the techniques to increase production and product quality in agriculture or aquaculture require energy, including water pumping, lighting, aeration of aquaculture ponds, and storage of produce. Many flowers, fruits, and vegetables can benefit from protection from the harshest rainstorms, strong sunshine, and heatwaves. That is not just about mushrooms, orchids or coffee, which require shade, but also about all sorts of herbs and cucumber or squash. My company, together with a non-governmental organisation and research institutes, has set up … [Read more...] about Ensuring both clean and profitable agricultural energy

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, at his meetings with Vietnamese farmers and agricultural businesses a few weeks ago, cited the success of TH Group as a fine example of high-tech agricultural development, and the circular economic model being pursued by the government. Famous for its TH true MILK brand, TH Group has been operating a $1.2 billion farm cluster project in the central province of Nghe An, featuring a state-of-the-art dairy cow farm and fresh milk production plant. The facility, which has a total annual capacity of 500,000 tonnes, hopes to quadruple the number of cattle to around 200,000 by 2025. To save production costs, TH Group has been operating a state-of-the-art system of solar power panels on the roofs of the farm cluster, and the system has been connected with the national power grid. As of last year, power produced from the panels has met one-fifth of the farm’s electricity demand. In 2019, TH Group began to use straws made from advanced bioplastics.

Representatives of Ericsson, Business Sweden, TH Group, and the VBF discussed 5G-led factories, Photo: Chi Cuong At last week’s talk show on Digital Transformation with 5G –The Path to Smart Factories in Vietnam, hosted by VIR, industry leaders agreed that companies in different industries have to adapt to new technologies to compete and survive. Denis Brunetti, president of Ericsson in Vietnam and Myanmar, said, “A wireless environment will make processes smarter, more flexible, and less static, which is increasingly critical in today’s factories.” Brunetti explained that 5G-enabled facilities will benefit from sensors monitoring production processes and collecting data to feed back to machines and managers. “This will greatly enhance the speed of operations, improve maintenance capabilities – through accelerated awareness or even notification before failures occur – and increase safety,” he said.

And it is not just breakfast. The 40-year-old Hanoian has specific menus for every meal of the day, typically containing a vegetable soup and two dishes. Eggs, tofu, peanuts, dried fish, and meat are part of them, but Tien insists that a meal for his family of four must not cost more than VND50,000 (US$2.15). The food is so monotonous that their youngest son, who is in third grade, frequently complains, "The meal at school is better than at home." Tien’s standard response is that he had to eat rice with corn and potatoes when he was a teenager, and so his children should be grateful for having "an affluent life." The family members cannot buy more than two new clothes in a year. When Minh asked to buy a new dress to wear on a company trip, he complained for a week because "there are four dresses hanging in the closet." Neither of their families faces any financial hardship and they themselves earn around VND40 million a month, which is much higher than the VND7.2-million … [Read more...] about When people go to extreme lengths to save money
