Integrated Chemical-Free Farming and Renewable Energy Utilization
The project location is situated in the east coast basin, an ecological component of the gulf of Thailand. It is a watershed area of the Lang Suan River draining into the gulf.With total cultivated area of approximately 100 ha and 150 target population, coffee is the only major crop which supplies income to the community. In order to decrease the dependence upon coffee only, there has been a practice of growing rotation crop such as fruit trees in the coffee plots- a semi-sustainable agriculture as it may be called. However, the practice has prompted every family to use an excessive amount of chemical substance in the form of fertilizer and pesticide. Apart from polluting the Lang Suan River and the Gulf of Thailand, the use of chemical substance has rendered many families into debt because of its high price.
