Fresh Studio connects with agriculture students at Da Lat University

On 11 September 2026, Fresh Studio participated in the opening ceremony of Da Lat University’s Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, where it shared practical industry insights, internship opportunities, and career perspectives with students.

Fresh Studio participated in the opening ceremony of the 2026-2027 academic year at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry of Da Lat University, reaffirming its commitment to supporting the development of future agricultural professionals in Vietnam.

During the business-student exchange session, Mr. Lo Xuan Dung, R&D Manager Crops at Fresh Studio, introduced the company’s activities and projects in Vietnam, its dynamic working environment, and the internship and career opportunities available to students. Since 2007, Fresh Studio has been active in Lam Dong Province and has played an important role in supporting the development of the agricultural sector both in Lam Dong and across Vietnam. 

 

Through partnerships with organizations such as Da Lat University, Fresh Studio conducts applied research and development activities aimed at testing, validating, and introducing innovative agricultural technologies to growers. Within Vietnam’s horticulture sector, Fresh Studio has been at the forefront of introducing improved vegetable varieties, developing new vegetable market segments, promoting soilless cultivation systems, and advancing more sustainable production practices.

As an example of this commitment, Mr. Lo Xuan Dung highlighted the IPM Lam Dong Project, currently being implemented by Fresh Studio, Koppert, and Da Lat University in close cooperation with the Plant Protection Department of Lam Dong Province. The project supports the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and biological control solutions, enabling farmers to apply safer, more sustainable, and environmentally responsible crop protection practices.

Dr. Cao Thi Lan, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, also presented a number of the faculty’s domestic and international cooperation initiatives, including the IPM Lam Dong Project (2025-2027). The project promotes Integrated Pest Management and biological control approaches as key components of safer and more sustainable crop production systems.

Fresh Studio additionally highlighted its internship program, which provides students with valuable hands-on experience through field activities, data collection, research support, and project assignments. These opportunities allow students to bridge the gap between academic learning and practical agricultural application while gaining exposure to real-world challenges and innovations in the sector.

 

Through its continued collaboration with universities and research institutions, Fresh Studio aims to strengthen the connection between education, innovation, and industry. By creating opportunities for students to engage directly with applied agricultural research and development projects, the company contributes to building the next generation of skilled professionals who will help shape the future of sustainable agriculture in Vietnam.

Feed Corn Field School (FCFS) training in Central Highlands of Vietnam

De Heus Vietnam, through its project “Building a Sustainable Corn Supply for the Future,” is investing in strengthening Vietnam’s feed corn supply chain. As part of this initiative, feed corn farmers across three Central Highlands provinces, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Lam Dong, are being trained by Fresh Studio in sustainable corn production through the Feed Corn Field School (FCFS) program.

The training is closely linked to demonstration fields established within the program, allowing farmers to directly observe the impact of improved cultivation practices under local farming conditions. Through this practical and interactive approach, the Feed Corn Field School aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of farmers and other stakeholders involved in feed corn production and drying.

By promoting the adoption of more sustainable and efficient production practices, the program contributes to the development of a more competitive, resilient, and sustainable feed corn sector in Vietnam.

Over the past year, Fresh Studio, in collaboration with the Agricultural Extension Centers of Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Lam Dong provinces, has implemented training activities for more than 1,050 feed corn farmers and established over 15 feed corn demonstration fields across the three provinces.

To date, eight Feed Corn Field Days have been organized to showcase the impact of different farming practices on feed corn yield and quality. The demonstration fields have focused on key agronomic factors, including variety selection, sowing practices, plant density, and fertilizer application strategies. During these events, Fresh Studio agronomists facilitated discussions with participating farmers on the effects of these practices and how they can be adapted and applied on their own farms to improve crop performance.

The interactive nature of the Feed Corn Field Days encourages knowledge exchange among farmers, enabling them to learn from each other’s experiences and practical insights. This peer-to-peer learning approach has proven particularly valuable in promoting the adoption of improved and more sustainable production practices.

With two additional Feed Corn Field Days planned before the end of the current cropping season in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, De Heus Vietnam, Fresh Studio, and the Agricultural Extension Centers will continue to work closely with feed corn farmers across Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Lam Dong. Through the demonstration and sharing of practical field results, the partners aim to further strengthen farmers’ knowledge and skills, contributing to a more sustainable, resilient, productive, and profitable feed corn sector across the region.
