Thailand Partners with 7 Organizations to Promote Low-Carbon Agriculture, Aiming to Reduce Farming Costs

Thailand's Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE) has announced a partnership with seven organizations in the agricultural and environmental sectors to support the reduction of farming costs and the transition to low-carbon agriculture. This collaboration aims to enhance sustainability within Thailand's agricultural sector and reduce its environmental impact. Specific initiatives are expected to include the utilization of renewable energy and the adoption of agricultural technologies that result in lower greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, addressing climate change has become a pressing issue in Thailand, with its impacts becoming increasingly severe in the agricultural sector. There is a growing demand for the development of new agricultural models that maintain and improve crop productivity while simultaneously reducing environmental burdens. This partnership is expected to effectively promote the implementation of low-carbon agriculture by combining DEDE's expertise in the energy sector with the knowledge and networks of the participating organizations in agriculture and the environment. The initiative aims to contribute to achieving international environmental goals while alleviating the economic burden on Thai farmers. Source: MGR Online (Business)
