RECARP
Regenerative Corn and Rice Agriculture Project (RECARP) in Thailand
Our Goals
Areas of Implementation
Approaches
With the farmer-centric approach, the project implementation may be divided into four key steps:
- Conduct baseline survey and data collection and establish a network with local stakeholders to understand current characteristics of farmers and farming practices
- Analyze collected data and identify regenerative agriculture practices suitable for the local context
- Implement training and other capacity building activities, such as demonstration plots and field days to equip farmers with extensive knowledge and tools on regenerative agriculture best practices
- Monitor and evaluate changes in practices and impacts among trained farmers, providing additional guidance where necessary
The regenerative agriculture practices promoted for rice and corn cover the entire on-farm cultivation process, from pre-planting to post-harvest management. These include understanding soil characteristics and needs, applying fertilizers based on soil analysis, organic amendments, integrated pest management, post-harvest residue management with no burning, and efficient water management involving the use of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) in rice fields and drip irrigation system in corn fields.
