Gia Lai province is well-known for its agricultural production, and the leaders of the province recognize the importance of science and technology in supporting their farming activities. As climate change poses challenges to agricultural development, they aim to create a breakthrough in this area by applying scientific knowledge and innovation.
One of the proposed initiatives is to research the scientific basis for restoring and sustainably managing the dipterocarp forest ecosystem in Gia Lai. The dipterocarp ecosystem is home to many valuable species and has seen a decline due to inadequate exploitation and management. By investing in research, Gia Lai hopes to restore these forests sustainably while preserving their biodiversity.
In addition to restoring dipterocarp forests, Gia Lai also plans to promote the value of the An Khe Paleolithic relic system and implement science and technology projects. The province has made significant progress in transferring technical and technological advances to improve the quality and competitiveness of key products such as coffee and cashew nuts.
Minister Huynh Thanh Dat commended Gia Lai’s achievements in promoting science, technology, and innovation. He urged them to focus on research and technological innovation in production, agriculture, and other key sectors. The Ministry’s functional units will support Gia Lai’s local science and technology tasks, especially those that require resources or expertise from remote areas or communities with large ethnic minorities.
Overall, Gia Lai recognizes that investing in science, technology, and innovation is crucial for achieving sustainable economic development while preserving its unique natural heritage. With support from the Ministry of Science and Technology, it aims to create a more prosperous future for all its citizens.
