From November 3 - 6, 2025, Can Tho University will host the International conference on Organic Agriculture - Sustainable Production (ISOP 2025).
With the message that organic agriculture is the key to realizing the goal of "prosperous farmers - sustainable countryside - green agriculture", the event gathered hundreds of domestic and international experts, scientists, businesses and farmers, becoming an important forum for Vietnam to affirm its pioneering role in organic agricultural development. In the context of increasingly severe climate change and declining land and water resources, organic agriculture is not only a global trend but also a strategic choice for Vietnam to ensure food security, improve the quality of agricultural products and meet international standards. Development practices in the Mekong Delta show that the organic model not only creates clean and safe agricultural products but also helps increase value, expand export markets and build a national brand. ISOP 2025 is therefore considered a strategic step, demonstrating Vietnam's determination to transition to green, circular and sustainable agriculture.
One of the highlights of the conference are 10 key topic groups: water resource management, biological pest control, organic fertilizers, plant varieties, consumer markets and certification policies. International experts will share new research and discuss solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect biodiversity and build a sustainable organic agricultural value chain.
ISOP 2025 will connect "four houses": State - scientists - businesses - farmers. This is a key connection to turn knowledge into practical action, helping farmers access new technology, businesses expand investment opportunities, and managers have more grounds for policy making.
In particular, the Mekong River tour program on the closing day will help international delegates experience the reality of the Mekong Delta region, which is both rich in agricultural potential and facing many ecological challenges. It is these experiences that will make the recommendations given at the conference more practical and feasible.
The conference is also a clear demonstration of Vietnam's commitment to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Not only keeping up with global trends, Vietnam also shows its ability to lead in some areas of organic agriculture.
