🌾👩‍🌾 Ever wondered what it’s like to live a day as a farmer?

On September 11th, team Earthfeast, winner of the EY4F Changemaker Challenge, and Agriterra are hosting “One Day as a Farmer” – a hands-on journey into rice-shrimp farming life 🦐🌱

This special event is part of EarthFeast’s preparation for the Food Systems Innovation Challenge Grand Finals in Wageningen this September. The event brings together potential buyers, local farmers, and youth to connect with the roots of sustainable food production – while piloting an eco-tourism model in Long Hoa – Hoa Minh commune.

Highlights of a one-day journey:

🚲 Welcome from the fertile land: Ride through peaceful village paths and listen to stories about the unique “2-in-1” rice–shrimp model – a smart way local people live with climate change.

🌱 Hands-on farming: Plant young rice seedlings and pick fresh countryside vegetables right by the fields.

🦐 Catch shrimp & fish like a farmer: Step into the pond and enjoy the fun of catching shrimp and fish – just like the locals do!

🍲 Farm-to-table lunch: Taste a homemade meal at a local family’s house, with fresh ingredients straight from the garden and rice fields.

🎋 Cook a local specialty – Bánh Ít: Learn to wrap and make this traditional sticky rice cake with local flavors.

🌿 Plant a green memory: Join in planting trees or making seed pots from nipa palm leaves – a small gift back to the land.

💌 Message to Long Hòa: Before you leave, share your thoughts and memories in the “Memory Box” – a special way to keep your journey alive.

Join a journey full of fun, relaxation, and a true touch of the Southern countryside where nature and people live in harmony!
