ATTENTION all Architects & design professionals - Tourism entrepreneurs & development specialists- Corporate CSR programme managers –Students of the above - IB school education & CAS programme managers as well as Ecological enthusiasts, Volunteers and many others are invited to attend our ‘Bamboo and eco- design Workshops and Seminars’ conducted during the construction ‘Sanpathong Sustainable Agricultural Centre,’ Chiang Mai, Thailand.
The Sanpathong Farm Stay property will host participants attending each of the 4 workshops and seminars conducted byBambooroo in 2013. Profits will go towards the cost of ‘fittings and furnishings’ for the centre, a revolutionary design in bamboo funded by the progressive European tour operator KUONI Switzerland.
Kuoni’s support is part of a wider initiative in partnership with VWB (Volunteers Without Borders Foundation) and local tour operator Track of the Tiger T.R.D. (Tourism Resources Development) in support of: responsible tourism and sustainable 2ndrevenue stream development for tourism SME’s and the communities they work in.
The Sanpathong Sustainable Agriculture Centre aims to:
· Re-introduce current and future generations of local farmers to sustainable small plot mixed agriculture – with direct market access- as an alternative to the mono-crop / chemical based option that has trapped them in a cycle of poverty for the last 50 years.
· Increase productivity by introducing a ‘commercial’ version of His Majesty King Bhumipol of Thailand’s own ‘sufficiency economy farming model’.
· Introduce a foreign investor /local sustainable farmer JV initiative that sees the local farmer generate enough income from a given plot of land to earn a good living and ‘buy’ the land back from the investor from profit shared earnings over a 10 year period. A win-win opportunity for both groups.
