In the face of challenges posed by climate change, resource depletion, and environmental pollution, Nam Dinh province has been actively restructuring its agricultural sector toward modernization and sustainability. In this context, circular agriculture is regarded as a crucial strategy to advance green and sustainable development. This study aims to evaluate the current status of circular agriculture implementation in the province using qualitative and quantitative data gathered through various research methods. The findings indicate that a wide range of circular agricultural practices have been adopted, particularly those focusing on the processing and reuse of agricultural by-products to regenerate resources, extend their life cycles, and reduce environmental emissions. These models have demonstrated significant economic, social, and environmental benefits. However, the proportion of agricultural by-products that are recovered and recycled remains relatively low. Moreover, the adoption of scientific and technological solutions for recycling is still limited, with most practices relying heavily on traditional experience. The main barriers identified are limited policies, awareness, capital, technology and product consumption markets. Therefore, some key solutions have been proposed to promote the application of circular agriculture in the area in the coming time.
