2nd Year of 'We Grow' Project in Bangkok

Greenpeace Southeast Asia and Vanessa Rangsit School collaborate for the second phase of the project entitled "We Grow: Kids growing their own food." The goal of the project is to promote 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 to harvest and mantain 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.
