We are beginning social impact ventures. Thru crowd fund and other sources of social capital to address social and environmental issues in Thailand and SE Asia. These issues center around rural poor farmers, families and communities. We address food security and community resilience.\u00a0 We will address the rising impacts of climate change thru small farm design changes using (Flood proofing, Drought proofing, Organic food growing, lower small farm costs, accessing local organic markets, increasing farmer incomes and thus\u00a0 community empowerment). We also educate the next generation of young farmers and youth in schools learning recycling, healthy diet\/food and environmental stewardship using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).<\/span><\/p>\n SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We will use start-up companies and other social entrepreneur methods<\/em> to develop, fund and implement solutions to social<\/em>, cultural, or environmental issues in Thailand and SE Asia. <\/span><\/p>\n ENTREPRENEUR SOCIAL INNOVATION<\/a><\/p>\n Using “new ideas”, creative thinking and technology to enhance or create<\/span> added value, new goods or services improving the quality of life of marginalized groups and communities.\u00a0 It involves the deliberate application of information, imagination, initiative and new technology in deriving greater value from resources, create higher value products or services. It includes alliance creation, joint venturing, education, the empowering of the producer and the creation of added value for the buyer. These ideas must be replicate-able and scale-able.<\/p>\n In Thailand, small family farms make up\u00a0 over 70% of farming effort and also the largest group among Thailand’s poor. Their food and nutritional security, and poverty alleviation pose an opportunity in Permaculture and social entrepreneurship. Lowering costs and increasing farm productivity by using new technology, new small farm designs and building community resilience is the way for the 21st century.\u00a0 This requires appropriate technology dissemination, new modern\u00a0 design farm systems to equip them with modern practices in both types of activities, new underutilized crops, new technology, from flood proofing, drought proofing, agri-drone use, soil management and small and big data analysis. These technologies are available and no\/low cost and our mission is to disseminate them in Thailand and Asia.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAgri-preneurs can revive smallholder agriculture<\/a><\/h4>\n
