Agricultural Training Program

Building sustainable farming skills for food security and livelihood development.

Overview

The Agricultural Training Program equips Myanmar migrants with the skills and knowledge needed to grow their own food and develop agricultural livelihoods. Many migrants come from farming backgrounds but face different soil, climate, and crop conditions in Thailand. Our program provides hands-on training in modern farming techniques adapted to the local environment.
