The country dedicates more than six million hectares to maize cultivation, and its total output amounts to about five million tons. The harvest of maize results in three primary residues: roots, stalks, and leaves. Over 80 % of these residues are disposed of in the cultivated area itself, usually by open burning. This practice releases large amounts of pollutants (such as the hazardous particulate matter known as PM2.5) into the atmosphere. Pelletisation represents one promising alternative to such strategies as open burning. The main objective of this study is to provide an overview of the pelletisation process in order to guide future attempts to increase efficiency and sustainability in maize pellet production. Thai standards for the production of pellets are compared with international standards, and the effects of differences in pellet composition on combustion efficiency are discussed. The results of this study can serve as a guideline for spearheading zero-waste agriculture initiatives and promoting the use of renewable resources like pellets for utilisation in biomass power plants, per the recommendations in the Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP 2012-2021).

  • 23 ม.ค. 57 Special Lecture on Producing Food Sustainably and Zero Waste Agriculture
    23 ม.ค. 57 Special Lecture on Producing Food Sustainably and Zero Waste Agriculture On Friday 24 January 2014, Associate Professor Dr. Wiboon Chongrattanameteekul, Assistant to the President for International Affairs, gave a warmly welcome speech for the opening ceremony of a special lecture on Producing Food Sustainably and Zero Waste Agriculture which was co-organized by Australian Embassy in Bangkok and Kasetsart University at the 9th conference room, Golden Jubilee Administration and Information Center Building, Kasetsart University, Bangkhen Campus. The lecture was given by Prof. Bernard Dell, Murdoch University and Prof. Anthony O’Donnell, the University of Western Australia in Australia. Prof. Dell gave a lecture that nowadays, the rapid growth rate of world population especially in developing countries for example, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, causes increasing of food consumption demand. However, there are many problems effect world food production such as drought, soil constraint, inefficiency irrigation system and over consumption in rich countries. Imbalancing of food sharing in the world causes inadequate nutrient problem of people in such countries. In order to meet the growing demand for food in the world, both Thailand and Australia, as food producer and export countries, are faced with the need to produce more food sustainably, to protect food form loss in the food value chain and to provide bio-secure and safe food. This lecture provided a brief overview of these three areas and examples of research in the region that address crop production, soil constraints, tolerance to abiotic stress, farming systems, grain quality, amongst others. It is concluded that there is a need for a co-ordinated long-term approach to address the broad issues of food security in the region.

  • The Integrated Biogas Agro-Ecological Farming Revolution
    The Integrated Biogas Agro-Ecological Farming Revolution Prepared for: The Karoo Development Conference and Trade Fair, 2009 March 10, 2009 By: Mark Wells Tel: +27 83 500 6276 Email: [email protected] www.peoplespowerafrica.co.za Preamble The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology (IAASTD) World Agricultural Report[ 1] concludes small scale agro-ecological and equitable distribution systems was the best solution for addressing food security, the global food price crisis and the realization of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): the reduction of hunger and poverty, the improvement of rural livelihoods and human health, and facilitating equitable, socially, environmentally and economically sustainable development. The importance of agro-ecological farming systems has been further bolstered by the recent peer reviewed study of 280 organic farms from both developed and developing countries which concludes that organic farming was two to three times more productive than per hectare than conventional farming in developed countries, and up to ten times in developing countries[ 2]. The widespread adoption of agro-ecological farming practices is considered by the Food Agricultural Organisation (FAO) as key requirement to achieving food security in Southern Africa. The FAO’s May 2007 report concludes that Southern Africa should convert to 50% organic farming practices in order to achieve food security and that traditional African farmers were best placed to convert to organic farming[ 3]. Integrated Biogas and Algal Systems have a significant role to play in the development of agro- ecological farming systems as these systems can provide a valuable and diverse product slate from existing biowaste resources available in the form of kraal manure to most traditional rural households.

This paper reports the application of corn-cattle based integrated farming system in Agrotechno Park Center of Palembang, and discusses its impact on CO2 fixation and the reduction of methane emissions. The study was based on the data of the first 6 yr from 2003 until 2009. The CO2 fixed in the soil and plants was determined based on the content of organic C which was multiplied by the index of 3.67. The methane gas produced by Balinese cattle and its dung was observed and modified into feed rations. The results showed that soil organic C increased from 40.80 tons C/ha in the 1st yr to 66.40 tons C/ha in the 6th yr. In addition, there was organic C fixation equivalent to 93.95 tons of CO2e. Corn biomass increased from 6.67 tons/ha to 18.66 tons/ha, equivalent to an increase in the fixation of atmospheric CO2e as much as 19.80 tons CO2e/ha.

  • SMART FARMING in Chiangmai: “Innovation Through Inclusion”
    SMART FARMING in Chiangmai: “Innovation through Inclusion” Abstract: In February 2017, the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (under Thailand's Digital Economy and Society Ministry) announced US$1.2 million would be invested in developing Chiangmai into an innovation-driven “Smart City”, making it one of three model smart cities in Thailand. The “Smart City” outlook i.e. integrating Information and Communications Technology (ICT) with the Internet of Things (IOT), is critical for secondary cities with burgeoning urban population like Chiangmai. A key focus of Chiangmai’s “Smart City” initiative is “smart agriculture": some 80% of Chiangmai's population are farmers, mostly small-scale, and transforming the agricultural landscape through increased ICT use has the potential to meet policy objectives of increasing farmers’ income through difference sources, amongst others. Yet our literature review (existing “Smart Farming” initiatives in Chiangmai) and research methodology (field visits and interviews with select Chiangmai farmers) reveal digital literacy remains a key challenge for the older generation. Our project aims to address limitations of existing initiatives by designing a platform-enabled website to be owned and operated by a young generation of entrepreneurial, tech-savvy farmers, “Young Smart Farmers (YSF) Chiangmai”. The participation of such “change champions” is crucial for community inclusion, engagement and ownership of process and outcomes. Finally, our proposal envisages how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), eg.
