Rice-Field Ecology Reclamation
Rice-Field Ecology Reclamation
The project area is situated in the ecological system of the Mekhong river. It is a part of the wetland area of Songkhram River, one of the main tributary of the Mekhong in northeast Thailand. The current agricultural practices focusing on mono-crop has rendered the once-intact forest a degraded one. Moreover, the practices has prompted vast-scale burning of rice-fields and unregulated application of chemical substance to maximize the yield thus making the land more degraded

A grass-rooted , farmer organization, Ban Kham Bok Farmers? Group has discussed amongst its 86 members to reverse the unfavourable agricultural practices and adopt new approaches which are more environmentally-friendly and consistent with livelihood security. The approaches , when implemented in wider communities throughout the dry northeast region, will reclaim the degrading ecology and simultaneously provide food security for the population in the region.
