it also dawned on me that my vietnamese ancestors cultivated a rich agricultural heritage, rooted in thoughtful practices and refined culinary traditions. as globalization reshapes society and younger generations gravitate toward urban corporate life, this invaluable knowledge is quietly slipping away, yet it offers profound answers for today’s generation in their clueless pursuit of a healthy diet and a harmonious way of thriving with nature.

this realization drove me to center my project on natural farming—raising awareness within the vietnamese community and promoting mindful consumption.
