The challenges posed by high population and poverty levels require the focused attention of researchers and policymakers.This article examines the effects of sustainable finance,agricultural growth, and digital agriculture on poverty reduction in Vietnam. The study used population growth as the control variable in order to make predictions about poverty alleviation. The article utilised secondary data obtained from reputable sources like the World Development Indicators (WDI) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), spanning the years 1991 to 2022. The article employed the dynamicautoregressive distributed lag (DARDL) model to analyse the relationship between various constructs. The findings indicate that sustainable finance, agriculture growth, and digital agriculture are positively correlated with poverty alleviation in Vietnam,while population growth shows a negative correlation. The study offers guidance to regulators on how to address poverty through sustainable finance, agricultural growth, and digital agriculture.Keywords: sustainable finance, agriculture growth, digital agriculture, population growth, poverty alleviationIntroductionPoverty is a state in which individuals or communities lack the necessary financial resources and essentials to meet basic human living standards. Despite their potential to meet their basic needs, they lack the necessary capabilities. Individuals or households experiencing poverty face inadequate housing and clothing, subsist on insufficient and unhealthy food, and lack access to clean water. Lack of access to social services, such as medical attention and education facilities, is a pressing issue (Maulu et al., 2021). Poverty frequently leads to various societal issues, such as social discrimination, racism, injustice, increased crime rates, diminished human potential, unequal allocation of natural resources, higher disease and mortality rates, and reduced human capital development. Hence, poverty poses a significant obstacle to the advancement of the economy, political stability, social harmony, and the well-being of individuals (Singh & Chudasama, 2020). Addressing poverty is a crucial concern for community and economic regulators. It involves eradicating poverty at its core, preventing its widespread occurrence, and reducing the number of people living in poverty. By addressing poverty, communities can be protected from social problems, economic progress can be maintained, and individuals can experience a harmonious and prosperous existence (Bruckner et al., 2022).Poverty stems from various factors, such as unemployment, inadequate income, climate change, insufficient access to necessities, and limited natural resources (Nawawi et al., 2020). Therefore, implementing strategies such as sustainable finance, agricultural irrigation land, agricultural raw material exports, agricultural growth, and digital agriculture can prove to be impactful in addressing poverty. Sustainable finance involves incorporating social, environmental, and governance factors into financing decisions, whether through investments or credit. Financial institutions and other investors can incentivize customer firms to prioritise environmental and social responsibility by providing funds with conditions that promote sustainability. This encourages these firms to conduct their operations in a way that minimises negative impacts on the environment and digital agriculture.
