The Project "Tang Nee Mee Phol Poo Kon Rak Kan” (Share the Love, Share the Veggies) aims to encourage military personnel to grow royally-granted seedlings in the project’s area, and the products are used for consumption. This project is expected to create love and unity among military personnel as well.
In addition, there are 5 activities to support the implementation of the project, i.e., Trichoderma propagation (helps prevent plant diseases caused by soil fungi), bio-fermentation production, earthworms raising, wood vinegar production, and royally-granted formula of compost. These produces are used for enriching crops in the project’s areas and also for further distribution to people.
