Dear Valuable Partners,

A Vietnamese proverb said: “The faster it grows, the sooner it declines” (Bạo phát, bạo tàn). Almost everybody must have agreed with this concept of sustainability. It means you had to look at your future for strategic planning, in order to make use of your available resources. If someone said no, they might not believe in their future, so they couldn’t help falling with short term benefit attractions, which temporarily brought them to a better position, but not direction.
In agriculture, sustainability requires responsible farming as the most crucial criteria of all. Responsibility mindset is critical for any social connection; it reflects the cultural background of a community. Thus, to create a sustainable agriculture, we need to go with holistic solution between Social responsibility and Agricultural practices.
The CSR network creates a ground for those solutions (Health Care, Education, Environment, Sustainable Agriculture…). I hope you’d join it and contribute to its success.
