<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#002060;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.75pt">Assignment Description</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color:red;letter-spacing:.9pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Advanced Vertical Farming for Climate, Lives and Landscapes Project (the project) is supported by Australia’s Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Business Partnership Platform (BPP)
<a href="https://thebpp.com.au/about/">https://thebpp.com.au/about/</a>. The BPP is an initiative which supports partnerships between the Australian Government and inclusive businesses to create both development impacts and sustainable commercial returns through
their core business operations. Projects supported by the BPP create and adapt products and services that improve lives and reduce emissions; create more inclusive and productive value chains; and expand inclusive business practices. Gender equality and social
inclusion (GESI) and women’s economic empowerment are also at the core of the interventions the BPP supports.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The project is implemented by <a href="https://www.orlar.com/">
Orlar Vietnam</a>, a subsidiary of an Australian agri-tech company, Orlar International, committed to producing clean, contaminant-free, and carbon-neutral food farming solutions for communities around the world. The project aims to scale an innovative vertical
farming technology to increase sustainable food production and free up agriculture land for rehabilitation. Orlar’s vertical pods are the result of five years of research and optimisation. The advanced technology is ten times more productive compared to other
alternatives, uses less land, 95% less water, and has no greenhouse gas emissions with zero plastic and nutrient pollution. The land the vertical pods free up will be rehabilitated and returned to native vegetation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Through the partnership, Orlar will adapt its technology to include efficient temperature control for use in low altitudes such as the Mekong Delta. This requires a series of scaled tests and a model pilot site to demonstrate
that high-value temperate crops can be grown in areas not traditionally viable to produce such crops. This provides an innovative solution that contributes to the objectives of the Government of Vietnam’s Resolution 120 on the Climate Resilient and Sustainable
Development of the Mekong Delta. The transformation of the agricultural sector to adapt to the changing environmental conditions is a major priority of the resolution, and the private sector has a critical role to play in introducing and scaling innovative
technologies. Orlar’s vertical farming technology offers an important solution, particularly in estuarine and near-coastal areas where due to rapidly rising salinity levels, agricultural production needs to shift from rice production (which uses a lot of water,
including groundwater which is pumped to the surface causing land subsidence and further saline intrusion) to other and higher value crops. The Orlar technology enables greatly increased production of higher value vegetables (more dong per drop) on land which
is no longer suitable for rice production. With a strong commitment to social good, Orlar also aims to create good jobs and employment opportunities through their business model, with a particular GESI focus.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">SNV’s role in the partnership is to provide technical support in i) identifying an appropriate location and engaging local farming communities and other relevant stakeholders to participate in the Mekong Delta pilot site,
ii) support Orlar to improve food safety (GlobalGAP and QMS system, and iii) a genuinely socially inclusive business model with economic opportunities and jobs for women and other vulnerable groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
