Project: Innovating Animal Welfare: Building Vietnam’s First Laying Hen Welfare Network

HealthyFarm, an initiative of Evergreen Labs, is dedicated to accelerating Vietnam’s transition toward humane, sustainable, and future-ready agricultural supply chains. Our work focuses on improving laying hen welfare through practical solutions, capacity building, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. We envision a food system where animal welfare, business viability, and environmental responsibility reinforce one another to create long-term value for farmers, consumers, and communities.

Since 2021, with the support of World Animal Protection, HealthyFarm has pioneered Vietnam’s transition toward cage-free egg production. Through farmer training, technical guidance, and market engagement, we have demonstrated that higher welfare systems are both achievable and commercially viable. However, our experience revealed a key challenge: the absence of a centralized framework to enable consistent, industry-wide progress.

To address this gap, we established Vietnam’s first Laying Hen Welfare Network. The Network consolidates practical experience into a formal ecosystem that provides validated guidance, fosters collaboration, and connects welfare-aligned supply and demand—driving a lasting, nationwide transition toward humane egg production.
