Project to Promote the Cessation of Burning in Agricultural Areas

Project to promote the cessation of burning in agricultural areas for farmers, where officials transfer knowledge and create a network of burn-free agriculture. Nakhon Sawan Province regularly faces problems of haze coverage and air pollution, mainly caused by open burning in both forest and agricultural areas. This burning has a significant impact on public health and the country's economy, as well as directly affecting agricultural livelihoods by causing soil degradation and lack of fertility, leading to increased production costs and lower-than-expected yields. The government places importance on preventing and solving this problem, assigning the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives to be responsible for controlling burning in agricultural areas, and assigning the Department of Agricultural Extension, specifically the Royal Project Promotion Division, Land Management and Agricultural Engineering Division, to promote the cessation of burning in agricultural areas. The goal is to create knowledge and understanding for farmers to be aware of the impacts that will occur, and to present options for using agricultural technology as an alternative to burning, creating farmer participation in preventing and solving burning problems, and creating models for burn-free agriculture to support the cessation of burning in agricultural areas in the future.
