The New Theory • Example of the application of the SEP to the agricultural sector was applied. Grow everything you want to eat which in turn can reduce their expenses and make more income. • The total land area is divided into 4 plots in the ratio 30:30:30:10. – The first plot (30%) is for water storage – the second (30%) is for cultivating rice to ensure that households have a year’s supply – the third (30%) is used to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbal plants for household consumption, with surpluses sold to earn additional income – The last and smallest plot (10%) contains the family dwellings and outbuildings for raising livestock • The “New Theory” = a foundation of self-reliance and a way to gradually improve a farmer’s standard of living while providing immunity against the fluctuations of the market or unpredictable natural disasters, but implementation requires sufficient knowledge, patience and perseverance to overcome any problems that may arise. “New Theory” in Household Khlong Lad Phachi Community Bang Duan sub-district, Phasi Charoen Type: Housing Development Community Phasi Chareon District 2013 statistics: Population M 159 F 179 = 338 Khlong Lad Phachi • A newly established community (10+ years) • Founding members were evicted from other places. • 2004 - The community leaders decided to set up a “Sajja” savings group and were able to buy land from former owner with the help of the Cooperative Promotion Department. – Community cooperatives – Debt management • Housing project was the first activity of the community to better their living. • A project under “Healthy Space” of RCFCD, Siam University. • Received “Strong Community” award (good practice) from the Office of Phasi Chareon District.
