1. Land Use
- describes how humans have decided to use the land.

Thailand
• Rural: 90% of Thailand’s total area is
- used for agriculture and forest including beaches and wilderness parkland.
• Urban: 10% of Thailand’s total area is used for cities including industrial lands and space used for transportation system as roads

Rural Agricultural Land
Until 1960’s
• an agricultural society
Causes of the Change:
1.Advancement in Technology
2.Economic Globalization

1. Advanced Technology
Farmers need to learn a new and better ways to farm their land.

Use of scientific method to work the land
- farmers need to be more educated and regulated about how they use the land
- Farmers who learned to use science to produce higher crop yields, raised healthier livestock and develop new ways of farming

2. Economic Globalization
Farmers must produce crops that meet the standards of the food industry.

Chao Phraya River Basin
• Large rice paddies are spread across the Chao Phraya river basin (Central Plain).
• Crops like rice, grains and rubber are shipped to markets by boat, rail and transport trucks.

Thailand’s Success in Agriculture:
Reasons:
1.Excellent Climate
2.Long growing season
3.Large expanses of flat lands
4.Rich soil
5.Thai people apply science to business of producing food
- Thailand’s crop production is a source of international trade.

Thailand’s IssuesThat are important to the success
in farming
![Page 16: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
I. WATER CONSERVATION
![Page 17: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Water is the single most important challenge that faces agriculture in Thailand.
4 Areas of importance:
1.Water Quantity
2.Water Management
3.Flood Control
4.Water Quality and Sustainability
![Page 18: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. Water Quantity
![Page 19: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
THAILAND
• When water is managed properly:
- Increase crop yields
• When water is mismanaged:
- disaster in farming
- bad for Thai economy
![Page 20: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Water Management:Manage trees!
•Roots (from trees) hold soil•Conserve ground water•Maintain water balance in the natural environment
![Page 21: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Over time, more and more forest cover has been taken over for agriculture.
• Forest near larger cities , farmland has been taken over for housing developments and industry.
![Page 22: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In 1840, 95% of the district was covered in native vegetation; this figure is now 15%, most of which is in the Kaimai ranges. (New Zealand)
![Page 23: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This will result to serious problems:Removal of trees:
1.Soil erosion: soil can be washed away by the rain soil can be blown away by the wind
2. Farmland converted to roads, industrial and residential areas can no longer be used in producing food
![Page 25: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. Water Management
1. Monitor water quantity
2. Create wells (underground water can be pumped to the surface for crop use.)
3. Construct irrigation system to farms
4. The use of canals, open and covered drainage ditches, above ground tubing system, levees and sprinkler systems
![Page 27: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Irrigation System
![Page 28: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Open and covered drainage
![Page 29: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Sprinkler System Levee (dike)
![Page 30: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
3. Flood Control
• - farmers plant low plants or ground cover on the fields that they are not using and along irrigation ditches and slopes so that soil will not be washed away during heavy rain or flooding
![Page 32: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
4. Water Quality and Sustainability
• - farmers know how to protect water resources.
- control chemicals that pollute the soil and damage quality of water.
![Page 34: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Causes of water pollution in farm areas
1. Runoff of soil and fertilizer
• Farm animal manure are major source of nitrate that pollutes ground water
![Page 35: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
2. PRESERVATION OF FARMLAND
![Page 36: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Government agencies monitor (check) and set limits for land use in Chao Phraya basin.
- the land cannot be used in other purposes except farming
- farmers are taught how to protect the soil from pollution and erosion
- foreigners cannot own rich farmland
![Page 37: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
3. QUALITY OF LIFE IN RURAL AREAS
![Page 38: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
People in Thailand do not pay high prices for their food when compared to other countries in the world.
There are many government projects that provide equal opportunities for Thais living in both rural and urban areas leading to an improved quality of life for people living in the rural areas.
- increased access to education, better medical care and improved sanitation
![Page 39: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Some Issues
1. The economics of farming causes inequality in the standard of living
2. Some Thai agricultural products bring high prices in international markets but sometimes the middle men/overseas brokers get a greater share of the profit
![Page 40: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
3. People who live and work in the rural areas earn a lower salary than people who live and work in the cities.
4. Farmers are poor; some people in the rural areas want to move to big cities like Bangkok making the city overpopulated.
![Page 41: Presentation3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103117/55a0ddcd1a28ab1e5a8b483f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
5. This will result to social problems like unemployment, lack of housing, increase costs for government services, tension in society which often result to increase crime rates.
