'We Grow' Project Preparation in Thailand

Greenpeace Southeast Asia and Vanessa Rangsit School partnered to develop project entitled “We Grow: Kids growing their own food.” The project aims to promote a sustainable food system and self-sufficiency. Greenpeace and the Thai school want to encourage gardening among children as a way to build a healthy, safe and more sustainable food system based on ecological agriculture. One of the main activities is the creation of an ecological kitchen garden, where students will learn how to grow their own food and benefit from ecological agriculture.

Ecological agriculture enables communities to produce enough food to feed themselves. This form of agriculture fosters a future of healthy farming and food to all people, as opposed to industrial agriculture that uses expensive farm chemicals and rely on companies that supply both the seeds and the chemical technology.
