Ban Phraegha Integrated Farming
Situated as an integral part of the ecosystems of the Gulf of Thailand/ South China Sea, the
project location is a lowland for paddy, rubber plantation and orchard totaling about 190 ha
where chemicals has been heavily applied. The run-off of the chemicals into the Thale Noi and Songkhla Lagoon results in the extinction of about 20 water species. Adverse effect on human health was witnessed. The proposed activities by target communities to produce and apply organic farming, produce chemical-free feed, increase vegetation for carbon sink and apply renewable energy in daily life would contribute to the reversing the degradation of the international water and the adverse affect of climatic variation.
Established in 1979, the group now has about 200 members with 6 sub-groups including women weavers? group as network and participate in various development activities both at local and national level.
