Agricultural Information

Environmental Information

Inst'l Profiles (NGOs, GOs, & Acad.)

Other Useful Information

The ROOT Group hopes to serve two functions for you at site:

1. Provide assistance and support as you explore your community and eventually contemplate and execute environmental or agricultural projects.
2. Provide some basic information so that you can jump directly into interacting and planning with community members and counterparts.

The following pages focus on the second half of ROOT's activities. These pages include basic farming information, NGO/Institutional Profiles, translation tips, and thoughts about the present Thai government programs related to environmentalism and agriculture. Surveys, Env. Camp ideas, project tips, and other more "practical" material is located elsewhere.

Our hope is that these pages, and the information therein, will wet your palette and get your mind running. The information is nowhere near comprehensive; it is not meant to be. Please, please, take the next step of contacting a member of ROOT and ask them to explain further, send a better article via email, help you contact that NGO down the road. In doing so, you will help us provide better information to future volunteers, and we will be able to help you through earlier hurdles in the planning and exploratory processes.

In the meantime, feel free to add any insights to the tabs above.
