On June 26, the Alliance for Innovation in Biosecure Pig Farming was established to protect the pig farming industry in Vietnam. This is the result of cooperation between the Aus4Innovation Program of the Australian Government and the Institute of Animal Husbandry under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam with the goal of promoting innovation in pig farming.
The program is sponsored by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, co-sponsored and managed by CSIRO - Australia's National Science Agency with strategic partner the Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam.
Also at the event, research results on the vulnerability of small-scale pig farmers to disease and biosecurity risks, such as African swine fever, were shared.
The above alliance and research are implemented within the framework of the Aus4Innovation Program, a 10-year program (2018-2028) with a total budget of 33.5 million AUD to strengthen Vietnam's innovation system towards sustainable and inclusive socio-economic development.
The launch of the Biosecurity Innovation Alliance and its research results mark an important step forward in addressing the biosecurity challenges facing Vietnam's livestock industry. These two achievements also set the stage for innovative solutions and policies to ensure the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, promote food safety, and strengthen the industry's resilience to epidemics.
