Project Description
The “Ground2Gut” project is managed by the non-profit entities BTLLAgroforestry and FoodInnovate. While BTLLAgroforestry is a private field monitoring laboratory for soil and water restoration in Chao Phraya River lowlands by landowners initiated in 2016 to work with farmers, the FoodInnovate is a network of food scientists from Thai universities and local investors focusing on food-health-ecology-society nexus. We are working at the field scale that campaigning rural-urban co-development to improve local livelihoods using climate-adaptive agroforestry for floods and water-retention areas during annual floods.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
1. Farmers in Lat Bua Luang District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya
2. Local public schools in Lat Bua Luang District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya
3. Customers in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Bangkok and nearby provinces
Project Goals
1. To convert monoculture cropland (rice field) to multiple species agroforestry and become a learning center for sustainable food system transformation in Chao Phraya River lowlands that experience annual floods and more frequent droughts.
2. To promote sustainable urban-rural co-production by supporting the farmers on sustainable agriculture, appropriate food technology for MSME and market channels for short(er) supply chain
Co-benefits
Engaging ecosystem restoration in the project helps improve soil microbiomes and humidity that support agricultural practices with minimal inputs for farmers, thus improves their livelihood and enhances the returns of local species that were not observed for decades.
