Circular farming is a closed production method that helps reuse waste as raw materials for farming and aquaculture, creating safe, quality products and reducing waste. This is a sustainable direction, helping to restructure the livestock industry.

However, this model still has some limitations such as not being applied synchronously and not bringing high efficiency, mainly only implemented in integrated farms. Planning and land allocation for large-scale livestock farming is difficult, especially in attracting investment.

In rural areas, household livestock farming still accounts for a high proportion but is often unsynchronized, with makeshift barns, limited scientific knowledge, and difficulty in applying advanced techniques such as biosafety farming or VietGAP.

In addition, livestock farming needs to be linked with crop production and other sectors to create a circular economic chain in agriculture, turning livestock waste and agricultural by-products into valuable resources. Reusing and treating waste is a shared responsibility for sustainable development and environmental protection.

These requirements have been included in our country's Livestock Development Strategy for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2045.
