Development of university farms for production of safe food crops according to the BCG economic model, Year 2
1. Principles and reasons (in summary):
The project was developed with the cooperation of Faculty of Agriculture Nakornping Energy Research and Development Institute Science and Technology Park Faculty of Agro-Industry and the market group for non-toxic, safe food To develop the use of space and improve activities carried out in the area of the research center. Mae Hia agriculture demonstration and training In line with economic development guidelines according to the BCG economic model.
In the upstream part
The Department of Animal Science and Aquatic Animals will improve the demonstration cow pen. To enable the Biomass Waste Management Center to transport cow manure and pen washing water to use in biogas production, the resulting biogas slurry will be used to improve soil fertility in the sweet corn production plot. Toxic substances of the Agricultural Resource Systems Research Center and animal pasture plots of the Department of Animal Science and Aquatic Animals in the central aquatic area of the Science and Technology Park and the Faculty of Agro-Industry Jointly develop prototype processed products from mangoes and sweet corn produced from demonstration plots and experimental plots of the Faculty of Agriculture. By surveying the market Packaging design and market testing
In the downstream part
Agricultural Resource Systems Research Center Nakornping Energy Research and Development Institute and the market group for non-toxic, food-safe plants Join together in a waste management campaign for farmers and entrepreneurs who distribute products. Improving packaging or bundling Reduce the use of plastic bags Including a campaign for consumers to separate garbage. Raising awareness among consumers in consuming organic vegetable produce and managing waste from consumption.
Integration of all relevant departments is therefore important in the development of university farms. To be a model for the country In using the BCG Economic Model approach to create connections and continuity of comprehensive knowledge in the context of capital. and expertise of local agencies
2. Objective :
1) To integrate the activities of various agencies in developing the use of space, the Mae Hia Agricultural Research, Demonstration, and Training Center and in line with CMU’s environmental and energy innovation strategies and food and health innovations.
2) To create and disseminate knowledge about safe agriculture. as well as using renewable resources for a sustainable production system for society and surrounding communities.
3. Target group :
1) The public and those interested
2) Faculty, researchers
3) Students
4. target area :
gencies in the Mae Hia Agricultural Research, Demonstration and Training Center area: STEP, ERDI, Faculty of Agriculture, Agricultural Resource Systems Research Center, Academic Service Center and transfer of agricultural technology, Department of Animal Science and Aquatic Animals, toxic-free agricultural market, safe food
5. Operation steps :
Activity 1: Utilizing suspended sludge from biogas production for crop production.
(1) Use water and suspended sludge from the biogas production system to improve soil fertility in the production of winter vegetables, sweet corn, and animal feed.
(2) Improve and increase the efficiency of sweet corn production in the demonstration plot.
(3) Study the effects of using water and sediment in improving soil fertility.
Activity 2: Management of cattle sheds for biogas production (594,000 baht)(1) Build two waste ponds (2) Improve the fences of the sheds and Waste manhole (3) install water pump system high pressure water to make Clean the house floor (4) Purchase a water pump. water and suspended sediment for use in pumping transfer of water and suspended sediment from the biogas production system to the plant production system
Activity 3: Organizing waste from cattle barns for biogas production (1,290,000 baht)(1) Providing and renting a pump truck. Wastewater and various equipment for transporting wastewater from dairy and beef cattle houses of the Department of Animal Science and Livestock water to the integrated biomass management center (2) Improving the digester pond to manage cow manure wastewater by designing and constructing a sludge receiving pond, providing and Install a sludge press machine
Activity 4 Campaign for the establishment of a market for non-toxic plants and safe food according to the BCG Economy Model (1) Organizing training to transfer marketing knowledge according to the guidelines. BCG Economy Model (2) Create a business model that is consistent with the BCG Economy Model guidelines (3) Improve waste management from waste management activities. (4) Create awareness among consumers about safe food and be responsible for consumption.
Activity 5 Public Relations University farm development project for safe food crop production (1) Prepare a public relations plan and plan the use of media to publicize the project to be more widely known (2) organize activities to publicize activities through online and on-site channels
Activity 6: Developing prototype products from mango and sweet corn (1) Market Survey (2) R&D (3) Producing prototype products and packaging design for market testing 4) Market Validation (5) Commercialization Activity 7 Evaluation of project SROI etc.
6. Processing time : 1 year
7. OUTPUT :
- System for utilization of suspended sludge from biogas production
- Greenhouse management system Cattle for biogas production
- Waste management system from cattle barns for biogas production
- Establishment of a market for non-toxic, food-safe plants under the BCG Economy Model concept.
- Public perception of the project
- Prototype and results of market study of mango and sweet corn products
8. OUTCOME :
Economic, social and environmental value from knowledge integration
Seeking sustainable income: in the BCG Economic Mode prototype area! with agricultural production activities
Processing, managing waste from production and consumption, reusing it Agricultural benefits and
Develop farmers markets for society A network and mechanism for collaboration between internal departments was created to
Improve and utilize the demonstration area, equipment, products and waste. From various demonstration sections to
Increase production efficiency Adding value from processing and reuse
Development of academic services: from promoting knowledge and understanding in developing agricultural activities from the beginning
water reaches downstream From the development and integration of activities of various demonstration sections, a body of knowledge has emerged.
Continuous and interconnected within the new supply chain in the university area It increases
A variety of study tour locations for citizens, various agencies, and student internships, both internal and external.
outside and help answer the mission of CMU Environment and Energy and food and health
