My Eco-tipping Point Story
Thailand is consider as "the kitchen of the world" .The country has brought " agricultural product " as goods to export worldwide. However, it seems that our product seems not to be safety enough.Vegetables are contains chemical sustance from pesticide use. Most importantly, young people don't seem to aware with this problem at all.Thus, I strongly believe that it is important to raise their awareness in agricultural knowledge.I have a strategy to create an organic farm in my university.This will makes them realize and have put more effort in improving the quality of agricultural product in Thailand in the near future.
To achieve my goal, there is a strategy including 6 ingredients to help me develop my project to be practically use as followings.
1) Outside Stimulation and Facilitation. Consuming organic food becomes a popular trend in Thiland these recent years.Thai people wide-awakes of eating organic vegetables, fruits.This because we consider " the health" prior.Before, people have been has a heath problem caused from food ;esecially cancer,that caused from the chemical substance in food. TA statement saying ‘You are what you eat’ has been scientifically proven to be true. Consumption of contaminated food has clearly been shown to have increased health risks. Developing the trend towards organic products in Thailand could guarantee numerous advantages for the country, both economically and socially, for years to come.
2) Strong Local Institution and enduring commitment of Local Leadership
I have cooperated with Mahidol university and Mae Jo universities.These two university successfully bring agricultural farming ; organic farming into the university.I believe this will help me develop my project.For example, I learn how they manage the farming system,train students, and sell the product to local community.
3) Transforming Waste into Resources.
Instead of producing hazardous waste like sludge where a lot of money has been invested to treat it to ensure that it is safe and polluting the environment, we can transform the waste into resources like fpr example use the produced sludge as a basic foundation for construction materials.Most vegetables and fruit has used pesticide to protect them from pests, fungus and weeds.However, chemical substance is still remain in those food.Thus, my project is to change the train of putting the pedticide into using organic system.By adding natural fertilizers and turn into pure f organic food product.If organic farming is successful in Thailand,it will greatly change people's consumption and improve the quality of food product nationwide.
4) Rapid Result
If the outcome shows that students participate in the activity, local community support to buy the product.When the project is achieve in my university.This will raise the students, local community to see the importance of having organic food.it will initiate the other mostly the community and the organization who works in the same field to assimilate and apply the same method to solve the problem
5) Social Memory
People has a lot of impact for health after eating food that contain of chemical.Some has to be taken in charge of hospital for years.I think the disease as been seen will the the best social memory to make them realize that having pesticide in agriculture totally destroy their living.Thus, to remind them, having organic food is a good way to make them consider that this's the better way of consuming vegetables and fruits
6) Overcoming Social Obstacles
It's not easy to acheive the goal,especially something that you have to be start in the first place.Of course, I have to encounter with many things that may happen during my project.For instance, the proposal that I hand to the university may not passed or how it takes time to develop students to mobilize the project with me.However, I believe that if "there's a will ,there's a way" .This give me a faith that " go through "with these obstructs from the project.
