In essence, the Khok Nong Na model refers to the application of indigenous farming wisdom to produce a modern-day farming method intended for the kingdom's new generation of farmers. "We are trying to encourage large farms to adopt the Khok Nong Na model," Mr Suttipong said. "With the Khok Nong Na model, we believe that everyone in society will be happy and the country will prosper." The director-general reiterated that the Khok Nong Na model could solve almost all problems related to agriculture in Thailand such as drought and flooding. "The Khok Nong Na model is friendly to the environment and respectful to nature," he said.
