Wawee Valley Project Update #3

As our most ambitious Restore project to date, the Wawee Valley initiative is gaining well-deserved international attention. With a diverse team of experts at the helm, this project is not only building momentum within Thailand but also sparking interest beyond its borders. Our shared vision: a regenerative, accessible, and resilient food system for all.

The Wawee Valley Foundation team has been actively establishing model farms and conducting capacity-building sessions to train emerging farm leaders. Each model farm showcases over 20 different crops, complemented by integrated henhouses—an approach designed to inspire local farmers and offer multiple income streams, both immediate and long-term. The goal is to implement this design across 50 farms and train hundreds of farmers in regenerative organic practices.

During farm outreach, the team has often stressed the importance of community and future security. Apart from engaging with local schools to educate students about regenerative farming, the model farm’s assorted plants and eggs have piqued many buyers within the country, Singapore, the US, and more. The team is working hard to push regenerative chocolate, coffee, eggs, and wellness drinks blended with various medicinal crops to the market. We are incredibly proud to support projects that build resilience in the food system, as well as increase the market share for regenerative goods in regions most affected by climate and agricultural challenges.

In addition to cultivating healthy food, the team is exploring sustainable ways to produce biochar at scale. Resource efficiency and waste-to-value practices are central to the project’s ethos. The upcoming biochar and compost station will serve as a practical model for farms interested in adopting regenerative methods, further reinforcing the valley's circular food system.

As this project evolves, we hope it will demonstrate the economic and operational viability of regenerative agriculture in any region—encouraging more farmers to join the movement and offering consumers better, more sustainable food choices.
