Farm community becomes healthy, wealthy and wise the organic way
Once a major maize plantation where farmers liberally doused farm chemicals to raise yields and reap as much as profit as they could, Ban Mai Village in Nan province has surprised many and become a role model for non-organic farming.
The village at tambon Na Rai Luang in Nan’s Song Khwer district on Thursday received a throng of guests. Government officials, journalists, university students and farmers from other provinces and nearby communities wanted to see how villagers managed to do away with farm chemicals.
