KMITL launches 'Farming the Future 2026' forum to transform Thai agriculture towards sustainability through innovation
King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) is preparing to host the 'Farming the Future with KMITL Forum 2026' to elevate Thailand's agricultural sector beyond its traditional limitations. The event focuses on transitioning from conventional farming, which relies heavily on weather conditions and faces cost risks, into a modern and sustainable innovation platform.
The core focus of this event is to promote the 'One Health' concept, which integrates the health of humans, animals, and the environment. This approach aims to create a safer and more efficient agricultural and food innovation ecosystem, helping to shift Thailand's image from being merely the 'Kitchen of the World' to becoming a global leader in food innovation.
This event marks a significant step in addressing the uncertainties that Thai farmers have long faced by applying modern technology and knowledge to reduce production costs and increase competitiveness in the global market. This will directly benefit farmers and entrepreneurs in Thailand's food industry.
Furthermore, the forum serves as a platform for experts, researchers, and farmers to exchange ideas, build understanding, and prepare for future challenges. The ultimate goal is to foster sustainable and concrete development for the Thai agricultural sector in the long term.
