Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security
Importance of agricultural sector
GDP by Sectors
Thailand’s development has been generally based on agricultural production
LABOR: The agricultural sector is mainly
supported by smallholders , about 1/3 is
presently employed in agriculture.
EXPORT: Although its GDP share has decreased
substantially, it still accounts for 30% of total
exports by value, and agricultural imports
remain very small.
LAND: 133 million rais or 41% of total land is
engaged in agricultural sector.
- 68 million rais or 50% is accounted for paddy area,
- 30 million rais or 23% is accounted for other
croplands.
SAFETY NET: The agricultural sector is the
unofficial social safety net which helps absorb
the newly unemployed during the crisis by
providing job opportunities in farmland
Share of GDP in agricultural sector has
been decreasing.
• Agricultural production accounts for only 8%
of GDP in 2014.
• However, the agricultural sector still has an
important role to play in the country’s
production structure.
Agriculture is highly diversified and specialised, different geography conditions

•Small average farm size
average farm holding area per household 4.07 ha
farmers in the Central plain region had the highest farm size 5.9 ha,
while the Northeast 3.71 ha
•Decrease in percentage of farmers own farms
 prevent expansion in investment and returns to scale
farmers in the Central plain had the highest rented area/farm
•Extensive utilization of land but limited fertile and irrigated land
the majority of the farming population depends on the weather
and other natural conditions
•Surface soil which contains nutrients were lost covering and
the damaged area has been increasing
directly hurt agriculture production as it reduced production
efficiency and accelerated the use of chemicals

Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security
Of Sustainable Agricultural Development from FAO
Definition: Sustainable Agriculture
25
“The management and conservation
of the natural resource base, and
the orientation of technological and
institutional change in such a manner
as to ensure the attainment and
continued satisfaction of human needs
for present and future generations.
Such development... conserves land,
water, plant and animal genetic
resources, is environmentally
non-degrading, technically appropriate,
economically viable and socially
acceptable”
By FAO
Sustainable Agricultural Practices
26
Agricultural systems, in both developed and developing countries, need to
use new approaches to increase food supplies while protecting the
resources on which they depend.
• fully exploit natural processes such as recycling nutrients, using plants that
fix their own nitrogen and achieving a balance between pests and predators;
• reduce the reliance on inputs such as mineral fertilizers and chemical
pesticides;
• diversify farming systems, making greater use of the biological and genetic
potential of plant and animal species;
• improve the management of natural resources;
• rotate crops or develop agroforestry systems that help maintain soil fertility.
The ultimate objective should be the optimum mix of agricultural practices,
both old and new, in order to maximize sustainable output within the
limits of available resources.
5 Types of sustainable agriculture practices
Classification of Sustainable Agriculture in Thailand
27
Farming system that has at least two different agricultural activities in
the same field, for example, paddy and fish raising, or pig farming, fish
raising and vegetable plantation.
• Practicing various agricultural activities at the same time helps reduce
costs, that is, the economy of scale is working. For instance, manure and
other farm residues can be used as fertilizer when planting crops.
• This system is suitable for a small-scale farmer, letting him make best use
of limited field area.
• In practice, the system is widely used in the central area of Thailand,
where there are a plenty of water resources.
Farming system that uses only organic fertilizer and herb-based insect-
control compound.
• The reasons of practicing organic farming are a higher demand for organic
food and demand for improving soil quality and underground water quality.
• Until recently, organic rice and vegetables had been sold only in Bangkok
and other major cities. Yet, the market of organic food is now increasingly
expanding.
5 Types of sustainable agriculture practices
Classification of Sustainable Agriculture in Thailand
28
Natural farming's concept is no tillage, no application of fertilizer, herbicide
and insecticide.
• For the ecological preservation aspect, natural farming is ultimate sustainable
agriculture practice.
• At the present, there is nowhere perfectly practicing the natural farming system
in Thailand. Yet, a few natural farming cases can be seen in the Northeastern.
Agroforestry is an idea to put agriculture and afforestation together,
that is, to plant cash crops or raise livestock while planting trees
in the same area.
• Its objectives are not only to increase farmers' income, but also to decrease
deforestation induced by agricultural area expansion. Besides, it also helps
improve the soil quality and biodiversity.
• Agroforestry is conducted in the Northern and Southern areas.
Agricultural system proposed by His Majesty the King Bhumiphol
Adulyadej in 1993. Its basic concept is self-sufficiency.
• Crop selling is a next step after attaining self-sufficiency.
• The concept is most appropriate to the farmers that have limited small field
and lack water.

  • 25. Of Sustainable Agricultural Development from FAO Definition: Sustainable Agriculture 25 “The management and conservation of the natural resource base, and the orientation of technological and institutional change in such a manner as to ensure the attainment and continued satisfaction of human needs for present and future generations. Such development... conserves land, water, plant and animal genetic resources, is environmentally non-degrading, technically appropriate, economically viable and socially acceptable”
  • 26. By FAO Sustainable Agricultural Practices 26 Agricultural systems, in both developed and developing countries, need to use new approaches to increase food supplies while protecting the resources on which they depend. • fully exploit natural processes such as recycling nutrients, using plants that fix their own nitrogen and achieving a balance between pests and predators; • reduce the reliance on inputs such as mineral fertilizers and chemical pesticides; • diversify farming systems, making greater use of the biological and genetic potential of plant and animal species; • improve the management of natural resources; • rotate crops or develop agroforestry systems that help maintain soil fertility. The ultimate objective should be the optimum mix of agricultural practices, both old and new, in order to maximize sustainable output within the limits of available resources.
  • 27. 5 Types of sustainable agriculture practices Classification of Sustainable Agriculture in Thailand 27 Farming system that has at least two different agricultural activities in the same field, for example, paddy and fish raising, or pig farming, fish raising and vegetable plantation. • Practicing various agricultural activities at the same time helps reduce costs, that is, the economy of scale is working. For instance, manure and other farm residues can be used as fertilizer when planting crops. • This system is suitable for a small-scale farmer, letting him make best use of limited field area. • In practice, the system is widely used in the central area of Thailand, where there are a plenty of water resources. Farming system that uses only organic fertilizer and herb-based insect- control compound. • The reasons of practicing organic farming are a higher demand for organic food and demand for improving soil quality and underground water quality. • Until recently, organic rice and vegetables had been sold only in Bangkok and other major cities. Yet, the market of organic food is now increasingly expanding.
  • 28. 5 Types of sustainable agriculture practices Classification of Sustainable Agriculture in Thailand 28 Natural farming's concept is no tillage, no application of fertilizer, herbicide and insecticide. • For the ecological preservation aspect, natural farming is ultimate sustainable agriculture practice. • At the present, there is nowhere perfectly practicing the natural farming system in Thailand. Yet, a few natural farming cases can be seen in the Northeastern. Agroforestry is an idea to put agriculture and afforestation together, that is, to plant cash crops or raise livestock while planting trees in the same area. • Its objectives are not only to increase farmers' income, but also to decrease deforestation induced by agricultural area expansion. Besides, it also helps improve the soil quality and biodiversity. • Agroforestry is conducted in the Northern and Southern areas. Agricultural system proposed by His Majesty the King Bhumiphol Adulyadej in 1993. Its basic concept is self-sufficiency. • Crop selling is a next step after attaining self-sufficiency. • The concept is most appropriate to the farmers that have limited small field and lack water.
