Monnthy report : Sustainable table : Food and the environment . Vietnamese engineer leaves his career to bring clean food to the masses

by Dat Hua | 28-01-2020 20:49



Kha, 36, said his conviction is drawn from the devastation cancer as wreaked on the lives of those around him.Leaving his well-paying job to live an agrarian dream is only the first step in his pushback against the deadly disease.Access to clean food, he says, is a starting point in the fight against cancer.Many people diagnosed with the disease have little chance of survival and such little access to organic food or the inability to affirm where their food is produced and harvested is partly to blame.To prepare for his headlong dive into farm life, Kha returned to school to study business management and banking and finance, for which he earned bachelor¡¯s degrees in 2009 and 2012, respectively.In 2016, he tested the waters by opening a fresh mini market. His first attempt at entering the industry, however, was less than encouraging.Despite suffering hardship and ridicule from his family, Kha refused to abandon his dream, surviving through sheer willpower and the patronage of friends.

 Kha has backed down from commercial activities, instead hoping to push his movement forward by developing relationships with prominent figures, campaigning for ethical food production, and spreading new farming techniques and quarantine methods.Even so, the financial upsides are low.

Through his actions, he urges youth to be better minded of their money, as well as of the preservation of the natural environment.
