This initiative aims to cultivate knowledge and enhance the capabilities of farmers through a participatory approach, promoting community economic development using scientific and technological insights in line with the BCG economic model. The project received funding support from the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and is managed by the Office of Innovation Management and Technology Transfer.
The program is led by a dedicated team, including:
- Associate Professor Chatree Homkhiao, Deputy Director of the Office of Innovation Management and Technology Transfer
- Warrant Officer Dechawat Kaewsriwong, Entrepreneur Development Officer

The initiative included a hands-on training workshop focused on enhancing the management capabilities of agricultural businesses, specifically in crop production. This training took place at the community enterprise of the Pepper Conservation Group in Palian, Trang Province. Participants gained valuable knowledge on improving agricultural business management practices, which they can adapt and apply to their ventures.
Through this program, farmers are empowered with practical skills and innovative strategies, enabling them to enhance productivity and sustainability within their agricultural practices, ultimately contributing to the economic growth of their communities.
