Abstract

The trend of organic agriculture formation and development is happening very fast not only in developed countries but also in developing countries including Vietnam. In Vietnam, there have been many studies on sustainable industry towards consumption and sustainable production from economic and ecological aspects. However, there is very little research on organic agriculture especially from the perspective of science, technology, and innovation. This paper provides an initial picture of the status, challenges, and opportunities of organic agriculture, analyzing the policies and institutions that promote organic agriculture from the approach of ecological innovation with the principle Product cycle and value chain of agricultural products. Through the in-depth study of the case of Viet Lien Investment and Trading Limited Company, the paper offers some lessons learned related to the philosophy and goals of Viet Lien Company operation. The paper also provided some recommendations concerning the development of organic agriculture toward sustainable consumption and Production.
