Buot village is located in Chieng Yen commune, Van Ho district, Son La province. Before 2018, the area lacked roads and electricity, and the people primarily farmed rice fields, living under many difficulties and shortages.
Since the direction to convert all rice fields to organic farming, especially focusing on developing the specialty Rau rice, the lives of the people here have completely transformed.
Meeting all five criteria of a Heritage Agricultural Village, Buot village actively preserves its fields and natural environment while expanding tourism development. This goes hand in hand with the continuous efforts of local authorities and residents to raise awareness about innovating economic production structures while preserving the cultural identity of the ethnic communities here. In less than five years, the lives of the people in Buot village have significantly improved, creating a high economic value chain from combining agriculture with tourism.
