KMITL launches 'Farming the Future 2026' project, aiming to elevate Thai agriculture and food toward sustainability
King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) has announced the launch of the 'Farming the Future 2026' project, a significant collaboration to develop Thailand's agricultural and food industries to an international level. The primary goal is to create a sustainable and modern innovation ecosystem.
The core of this project is the 'One Health' concept, which links the health of humans, animals, and the environment to ensure that the food production process, from upstream to downstream, is safe and of high quality. This will help enhance Thailand's competitiveness as the kitchen of the world.
The institute focuses on applying knowledge and research developed within the university to practical use in the business sector and for farmers. It will support smart farming technology and efficient resource management to reduce environmental impact and build long-term food security.
This project marks a significant step in transitioning the Thai agricultural sector into modern agriculture driven by innovation and data. It is expected that this collaboration will help create new career opportunities and sustainably improve the quality of life for Thai farmers by 2026.
