The success of soil conservation
Mr. Apae participated in a project with the UHDF Foundation in May 2020 in the soil conservation project. By digging horizontal rows and planting mixed crops. Because this community has limited land. There is a problem with land rights and this land has been used for a long time without soil conservation. It has a steep slope, causing the soil to wash away. causing degradation making it impossible to use the land.
After that, he joined a project with the UHDF Foundation and promoted the knowledge of row-level digging, and after that he planted a variety of plants and trees in his plot, including avocados, mangoes, local plants which are local food wisdom.
Making soil conservation plots and growing mixed crops In this plot of land, it has made a difference to my life and my family. Returning fertile land.
We have a variety of food crops. that can be harvested throughout every season There will be diversity and food security, reduced expenses and income from selling tea, and in the next two years there will be income from avoca trees. Make your family happy and proud.
From A Pae’s success Make him a model farmer. that can give knowledge It is a place to learn for other farmers both in the community and the Kang Kiang community. making many farmers Change from growing monoculture crops to more and more agroforestry.
His descendants also rose up and did the same as him, which is to do mixed farming in that agricultural plot in order to produce crops. That has resulted in reducing expenses in the family as well. Now there are neighbors and children who have seen what Mr. Apae did and they have risen up to do it and expanded it to their area.
When the land of farmers who grow monoculture crops has turned to change Agroforestry has increased. This creates diversity in the ecosystem and more green space in this community.
