Basic Information
Overview
Prior to this, 250,000 rai (40,000 hectares) of land along the Nan River was suffering from severe forest degradation. MFLF together with the Royal Initiative Discovery Foundation (RIDF) initiated the model project in Nan Province, in partnership with government and private sectors and local communities, to address problems of forest encroachment, monoculture, chemical fertilizers and natural disasters.
The key was to improve soil fertility and introduce terraced rice fields to regain forest cover and increase yield for farmers.
