Development of Renewable Energy for Environment Conservation and Sustainable Agriculture Promotion
Target area is a rain-fed farming community without any irrigation system. As a modern rule,
farming practice and daily livelihood depend more and more upon chemicals and fossil fuels. In order to ensure water supply to farming practice, the Thai government had provided a deep well with hand pump for target community but this supply could not meet with the demand. Realizing the potential of renewable energy and with the assistance of the government?s regional centre for renewable energy promotion, the community had initiated the project to pump water from the deep well with wind energy and to efficiently use solar energy for processing agricultural products.
In addition to the application of renewable energy to avoid resorting to fossil fuel and scarce fire-woods, the bank realized the need for practicing sustainable agriculture to reduce/avoid the use of chemicals which are harmful to local and ,eventually, global environment.
