2. Descrição da abordagem de GST

2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

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 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

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.

3.3 Fluxograma (se disponível)

Descrição:

Flow chart Operating procedures:
1. Site selection: the target area will be seen through 5 aspects: community, temple, school, government agency and appropriate topography, with 5 strong network sectors as: government, academic, private, civil social and mass media for sustainability and expansion of civil state
2. Targeting people: all people and community leaders in the target area have been trained at the Mab-Euang Natural Agriculture Foundation.
3. Training course: the main content is agricultural development to the sufficiency economy system by the Natural Agriculture Network. This is to take 5 days and 4 nights, consisting of application of New Theory of Agriculture in the concept of sufficiency economy combined with local wisdom for soil and water management for agricultural area.
4. Workshop: this activity is organized for farmers to learn about participation, extension and to understand the concept of sufficiency economy system.
5. Joint activity: people and communities in the area propose to implement this project and staff of the study center will consider and, when appropriate, approve the project.
6. Finding support agencies: the Mab-Euang Natural Agriculture Center for Sufficiency Economy System, Mae Chaem District Office, Royal Forest Department and Chiang Mai Enterprise Social Enterprise Company Limited.
7. Field training: this activity is the real field training in the selected area, where land users and community members have been trained according to the concept of Khok-Nong-Na model.
8. Area improvement: the practices in the targeted area consist of 5 networks that work together in the land user’s area in the concept of Khok-Nong-Na model with trees and fruit trees in upland and rice cultivation in lowland or rice terraces in upland, including farm ponds. Moreover, this area will be the training and study site for other people in this area.
9. Study center: if this area is completely set up and all components of the Khok-Nong-Na model are installed, the site should be upgraded to be a study center in the future. Now this project has increased cooperation among agencies, i.e. Royal Irrigation Department, Land Development Department, both under the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and Department of Local Administration, Ministry of the Interior.

  • Riscos de desastre reduzido

All land users can use their land for agricultural activities in the dry season

  • Afiliação a movimento/projeto/grupo/rede

Participation and training program encourage land users to joint the community network

  • Consciência ambiental

This system can increase biodiversity in this area

6.3 Atividades de sustentabilidade de abordagem

Os usuários da terra podem manter o que foi implementado através da abordagem (sem apoio externo)?
  • Incerto
Caso negativo ou incerto, especifique e comente:

All land users need to understand this model and government sector necessary to support in the early stage of development because they do not have enough budget to start this activity by themselves. Moreover, they have no bargaining power in finance, income and the market.

6.4 Pontos fortes/vantagens da abordagem

Pontos fortes/vantagens/oportunidades na visão do usuário da terra
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.
Pontos fortes/vantagens/oportunidades na visão do/a compilador/a ou de outra pessoa capacitada
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 Pontos fracos, desvantagens da tecnologia e formas de superá-los

Pontos fracos/desvantagens/riscos na visão do usuário da terra Como eles podem ser superados?
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.
Pontos fracos/vantagens/riscos na visão do/a compilador/a ou de outra pessoa capacitada Como eles podem ser superados?
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.
