  Consumer cooperatives are a collective economic model, established to meet the needs of members by coordinating the purchase and sale of goods and services, thereby reducing costs and enhancing market competitiveness. This model originated in the 19th century with the success of the Rochdale cooperative in England and has since expanded and thrived globally. Throughout its development, consumer cooperatives have demonstrated their potential and inevitable growth trend in the market, becoming a significant component of the economies of many countries worldwide. They ensure member benefits and foster sustainable economic and social development. Using an overview research methodology and document analysis from various countries, this article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of theoretical issues related to consumer cooperatives. By doing so, the article contributes to building a theoretical foundation, supporting research, and proposing policies to promote the development of consumer cooperatives in Vietnam.

  This paper aimed at exploring critical determinants of farmers’ adoption of sustainable farming practices in agricultural areas contributing to anthropogenic global warming. The binary logistic regression model with the help of SPSS 24.0 shows that “market accessibility”, “stability of livelihood” and “the impact of extreme weather conditions” had a significant influence on the farmers’ choice of low-carbon farming practices (P <0.05). These findings provide a different understanding to current literature that concludes the impacts of age, gender, education, finance, farm size, etc. on farmers’ adoption of climate change adaptation strategies. This paper argues that farming practices that demonstrate market competitiveness and stability should be a natural starting point for mobilizing farmers to transition towards a low-carbon agriculture.

  With increasing pressure from population growth and resource consumption demands, the transition to a circular economy model in agriculture has become an urgent requirement for effective waste management and sustainable resource utilization. This study synthesized models for managing agricultural by-products from advanced countries such as China, EU, USA, Japan, and Thailand, focusing on policies and techniques aimed at optimizing the use of agricultural by-products. By analyzing literature from international sources, the research provides lessons on legal frameworks and technologies to promote the recycling and reuse of agricultural by-products in Vietnam. The findings indicate that the adoption of a circular economy not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also enhances the economic value of agricultural by-products, thereby improving the competitiveness of Vietnamese agricultural products. This contributes to building a sustainable agricultural sector that meets development goals and Vietnam's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
