2.1 Breve descripción del Enfoque

The promotion of a model that supports sustainable cultivation outside the protected forest area in the northern highlands of Thailand. The model is based on the knowledge of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (King Rama 9). It is a prototype model of the Institute of Sufficiency Economy and the Foundation for Natural Agriculture, and uses the New Theory Approach in Agriculture to build a self-sufficiency economy.

2.2 Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST

Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST:

This is the approach that supports "returning life" to the Mae Chaem area by an integrated land and water management system in the highlands, through the King Rama 9 initiative combined with local wisdom: or the "Khok-Nong-Na model". Most of this area is in Mae Chaem Reserved National Forest, an upstream watershed which is strictly preserved as forest and does not officially allow people to live and cultivate. However, communities have been earning their living there for a long time before the reserved forest law was announced, which deprived them of the right to own the land and use it for agriculture. Previously all land users earned income by encroaching into Mae Chaem National Forest Reserve - and converting it into maize, shallot and cabbage fields. The forest area was intruded upon, making the soil erode, and therefore soil fertility and productivity decreased. The integrated water management system by King Rama 9’s initiative together with local wisdom, is a prototype model at the Sufficiency Economy Institute and the Natural Agriculture Foundation, supporting the “New Theory of Agriculture” based on a self-sufficiency economy. The Foundation has explained to all land users that this concept called "Khok-Nong-Na" divides the area into 30:30:30:10 portions as follows; 30% for water sources (farm ponds, small water channels), 30% for rice fields, 30% for trees, and 10% for housing and animals. Implementation of Khok-Nong-Na models will depend on the topography of the area are as follow:
1. Upland or "mound" (Khok) is the highland area as part of the mountain or hill to cultivate "three kinds of trees” as forests, namely "three forests, four benefits". “Three kinds of forests” means for consumption, construction and economy, while the fourth benefit is to preserve the ecosystem.
2. Reservoir (Nong), the lowland area as part of water resources, includes the checkdam or weir, the sediment trap, the water channel and the pond, for both consumption and agricultural use. The checkdam or weir in the upper area serves as a storage and to control the flow rate of water. The water channel is designed to deliver water to the pond or reservoir in the lower area.
3. Paddy field (Na) is an important component for rice cultivation because rice is the main staple. Rice terraces are established in the sloping area, with paddy fields in the lowland. The main purpose of rice production is for the farmer family’s consumption - as well as for income. The ridges around the rice terraces field should be high and wide to store greater amounts of water - as the water level in the paddy field can control weeds, accelerate plant growth and improve crop yields. The native rice variety grown in rich soil is immune to diseases and insects.

6.4 Fortalezas/ ventajas del Enfoque

Fuerzas/ ventajas/ oportunidades desde la perspectiva del usuario de la tierra
Improve and restore natural resources, i.e. environment, soil, water, and forest .
This system would save labor, fuel and material cost of pumping water into the fields for fruit trees and various crops.
The network members are harmonious and work together under the regulations and rules.

Fuerzas/ ventajas/ oportunidades desde la perspectiva del compilador o de otra persona de referencia clave
Many official and private agencies cooperate to work with strong network and community, so land users will use their land for agricultural activities and at the same time they would help in reforestation.
This model will discourage all land users to do their slash-and-burn practice.

6.5 Debilidades/ desventajas del Enfoque y formas de sobreponerse a ellos

Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del usuario de la tierra	¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas?
Farmers have more work load per day to do it comfortably.	That is good to improve their soil and increase their products and income.
They have not yet started to earn money at this time and have no ability to reduce their debts.	They would like the government to help with their debts.

Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del compilador o de otra persona de referencia clave	¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas?
At the first stage they cannot produce agricultural products because they do not have enough water.	Local officers should recommend some short-period plants to generate income.
This area has organic and green vegetable market in schools and hospitals nearby but farmers cannot produce sufficiently to serve the demand of that market.	This model should serve to help store more water in their area, to be sufficient for agricultural production.
