OBJECTIVE

I especially love the environment and the farmer at the same time, and I am also a freedom-loving person. I believe that nature is the key to sustainable development, and my mission is to heal the relationship between people and nature with chemical-free agriculture and agroforestry.
After finishing my degree in Agriculture , I returned to the countryside to become a farmer and co-founded Midori Farm, where we are trying to solve the problem of rural livelihoods by organic coffee production and Ecotourism services Farmstay .
As a small farm, we can stand from the farmer's perspective and quickly apply all solutions without waiting for enough support resources.I am grateful for the help of all the farmers I meet and see value in their work, and I want to work with them, not help them.

My current project:

Midori Farm: Established in 2017, testing a sustainable development model on a small farm scale (2 hectares), we stand from the perspective of a farmer with limited support to try operating a farm that does not use chemical use in farming. We produce coffee, do farmstay services, ecological tours and have a small vegetable garden for use and a few fruit trees.

Currently we have 5 members and 2-4 affiliated farms providing coffee products.

Midori Coffee: A coffee production experience from farm to cup, we try to produce coffee with a higher standard, focusing on consumer health and environmental protection. Then I realized that if the quality of coffee was higher, I could sell it at a higher price, supporting the transition to sustainable ecological farming.

Eco Tour: I operate short and long tours, to provide customers with an experience of how agricultural products are made. After Covid-19, we have realized that we are separated from nature, and now is the time to return. I hope I can connect and heal the relationship between people and nature through the introduction of decent production farms, while promoting the regional economy.

Local Culture (start 2025): I collect indigenous cultures into articles and images of indigenous cultures of the locality near my farm, Vietnam or different cultures in the world. The goal is to help preserve, develop and flexibly turn it into services and bring value to the countryside such as tours or products. Contribute to helping local people become aware of cultural values ​​and preserve them by themselves.
