Farmers the sufferers as the world’s currently at a crisis is getting worse.
Producers have come to be the most vulnerable victims as the intensity of climate change rises because of the unusually low crop yields.
Food safety is one of the top issues posed by professionals, who are urging the government to develop plans to address the issue.
Witsanu Attavanich, an economics professor at Kasetsart University, is leading a study job entitled” Effects of Climate Change on Thailand’s Agriculture”.
In the task, which kicked off in 2017, the government’s cash crops are studied based on two gardening situations: temperatures increasing by 2- 3C, and rising by 4.5C, by the year 2100.
The study has found that within the next 70 years, Thailand’s overall rice production will decline by 10.18 % and 13.33 % respectively.
Critical droplets are to be seen in non- watering regions, which account for three- rooms of the property where corn plantations are located, of 31.9 % and 42.2 %.
Sugar cane’s annual production is expected to decline by as much as 25 % to 35 % in the next 70 years, along with cassava and durian’s.
The 30-year research will be finished by 2055.
The most vulnerable group in a crisis is made up of Thai farmers who are unable to adapt to climate change and have access to cutting-edge gardening technology, according to Mr. Witsanu.
The issue is that the farmers are unable to implement the strategies, he said, despite the fact that the regulators have been releasing them for a while.
Many farmers, he said, struggle to adopt technologically advanced processes and innovative technologies because many of them are senior citizens. Additionally, the majority of Thailand’s 12.6 million farmers are residing in rural regions with little or no access to digital systems system.
” Unless there are good methods for adaptation and mitigation, the region will experience poor meal security in the future”, he said.
Just 15 % of producers in the northern region have access to water.
He suggested that the government make more of an effort to build small-scale water resources near reservoirs and subsurface water sources.
Additionally, the state-owned organization should collaborate attentively with regional organizations to provide farmers with training on how to adapt to climate change. Farmers who lose their crops as a result of normal catastrophe will be subventioned by the nation.
” For subsidies, however, may be granted with problems to support the agriculture industry in the long run.
” Money should be spent on research and improving infrastructure, not just on subsidies, which do n’t create sustainable benefits”, he added.
Witsanu: Farms absence’ wise’ tech
Withoon Liemchamroon, chairman of the BioThai Foundation, said solitary- produce farm is a significant cause of greenhouse gas emissions and destroys foods security.
” We must go back to agroecology by reducing use of dangerous toxins and fertilisers”, he said.
Mr. Withoon argued that the government should establish a legal framework to end food dominance operations, which promote single-crop farming and deter food diversity and safety.
He argued that the government should help expanding the range of food supply options and promoting more food competition opportunities.
He added that the government may decide to support GM crops, which are n’t perfect for enhancing food safety because of the problem with declining food security.
Pirun Saiyasitpanich, commander of the Department of Climate Change and Environment, said the ordinary highest temperature has increased by 1.1C and is expected to increase by 2- 3C by the end of this era.
According to Mr. Pirun, the division will collaborate with other parties to develop climate change adaptation strategies. The issue of meal safety is included.
