Agricultural Land Use Systems (LUS) contributes to Green Revolution (GR) and sustainable development in
Vietnam, however, the GR exerts a dual impact-both positive and negative-on agricultural LUS in suburban regions. Land
Quality Indicators (LQI) is integrated into the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) model to assess agricultural LUS across four
landscapes in a peri-urban area of Hanoi capital city (Vietnam). The selected 75 indicators are subject to elimination based
on the distinct natural and social contexts prevalent in each landscape. The findings indicate that primary pressures
impinging upon agricultural LUS are dwindling irrigation water, escalating erosion resulting from cultivation, inadequate
agricultural infrastructure, price imbalances, and pollution from industrial parks and craft villages. An amalgamation of
traditional and high-tech solutions is recommended to enhance the quality of organic produce and foster stronger
connections between suburban and urban. Integrating LQI into the PSR framework supplants conventional assessment
methods, paving the way for more effective sustainable land use planning in peri-urban areas in the foreseeable future
