The households have committed to the local authorities that they will not use any chemicals during the cultivation process. The villagers remove insects by hand and use some traditional methods to repel caterpillars. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| Fresh, organically grown vegetables have long been popular, so they sell very well. To meet market demand, locals have been intercropping short-term and long-term crops. In addition, they immediately replant a new crop after each harvest. (Photo: Dinh Tuan) |
