Biogas digesters

Thanks to joint research between SLU and Vietnam, the technology of biodigesters were developed. Today, the use of biogas digesters in small households is common all over Vietnam. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions and the waste from livestock can be used in an efficient way.

By-products as animal feed

The use of locally produced by-products for animal feed have reduced the waste and greenhouse gas emissions, and at the same time increased the nutrition and protein in feed for pigs and other animals.

Forestry research in Vietnam

SLU and Vietnam have had several research projects in different areas during the years. After the opening of Vietnam 1986 a joint collaboration started within tree breeding. The main focus was to breed fast growing species for reforestation and economic growth.
