There are five models in the acceptance report on July 30 by Dr. Tran Viet My and colleagues from the HCMC Center for Agricultural Extension, on 'researching to build a sustainable agriculture model on alum land Salinity intrusion in two communes Tan Nhut, Binh Chanh and Nhon Duc, Nha Be district.

Accordingly, two successive models are the model of fish culture in Hamlet 3, Tan Nhut Commune, and the model of raising fish in combination with fish and fruit trees. In addition, three new models were built including aquarium model, black tiger prawn shrimp model with VietGap, and cut orchid model.

The study also shows that the application, deployment and replication of these models by 2012, the income of each household increased 1.5 times the district average. However, in order to form such ecological groups, it is necessary to maintain and preserve the water environment, to form a chain of production links with consumption, linking production with environmental protection and landscape decoration. .
