My Eco-tipping Point Story
Recently, the decreasing in agricultural farmland and increasing of environment instability has become a problem. People refuse to adapt to the environment causing chaos which make up the future we are living in right now.
Since we need a plan to shift our future, I came up with my own personal plan to implement agriculture strategies and technologies back to my respected country as an alternative solution. We begin by visiting Mari's Garden to learn about organic, non-organic and fundamental farming. The next place we have visited is Olomana Garden, where we learned about aquaponics and it's innovation. After that, we went to see the experiments at the Farm Roofs, where they successfully grow their garden at the top of the building. These are efficient methods that can save billion of people from poverty and hunger worldwide. My ingredients of success based on the Eco-Tipping points are:
1. Outside stimulation and facilitation
The Government is pushing for the promotion of Thai organic agricultural products and is also prepared to expand Thailand's organic export markets in ASEAN, so this will increase Thailand organic agriculture.
2. Strong local institutions and enduring commitment of local leadership
My partner is a self-reliant community with both local and international members. The local serve as educational institute promoting organic farming for public.
3. Co-adaption between social system and ecosystem.The agriculture in Thailand today isn't using adaptive method because chemical pesticides are used in the agriculture process. This would damage the ecosystem and polluted the environment. So we could introduce this methods to farmers and the local community to make a change.
4. A powerful symbol
Agriculture development is part of The National Organic Agriculture Committee's policies and strategies. This will expand the organic farming in Thailand and would increase organic productions.
5. Overcoming social obstacles
The solutions we see in Hawaii are not popular in Thailand because farmers usually have no opportunity to see the world outside their country. So people use the same methods for centuries without knowing the better solutions.
6. Rapid results
Since the governing is preparing to expand organic agricultural products in ASEAN, it's a good chance to expand our organic market because Thai organic products are in high demand and low supply. This will be efficient solutions for the agriculture production issues.
