Description of the SLM Approach

Short description of the Approach

The Learning Center of Bio-fermentation Technology for Soil Improvement at Maiket Sub-Muang PrachinBuri District, Prachinburi Province, covers the production and usage of a bio-fermented solution to improve the soil, and is the center for the network of the users.

Detailed description of the Approach

The Bio-fermentation technology Transferring Centre for the Soil Improvement at Mai ket district, Muang Prachin Buri is the source of learning about the production and usage of the bio-fermented solution that improves soils. It serves as a network centre also. The owners of the centre are knowledgeable and proud researchers who are ready to transfer that knowledge to the farmers in neighbouring communities: they are good trainers. Apart from study and research, activities and processes at the centre are:
1. Selecting farmers who are successful in producing and using Bio-fermentation technology
2. Public relations through a PR centre: VDO photography, Youtube, TV shows, radio programs.
3. Developing learning points and demonstration plots.
4. Providing training through visits by government agencies, the private and educational institutions. Supporting farmers interested in self studying as well as being traiers lecturer on and off the premises.
5. Establishing a bio-fermentation technology user network for farmers who come to study. The government has provided support.
6. Providing a learning forum emhasising learning together and technology transferring.
7. Promoting and developing the production and use of biotechnology
8. Selling products such as seedlings (durian), products (durian, longkong, banana, climbing wattle, etc.) and biological extracts.

The stakeholders comprise:
- The farmer who is the owner of the centre and has the role of researching, experimenting and developing technology, and technology transfer.
- The students who included farmers, soil experts, students and government officers.
- The manufacturers and users of technology who learn how to buy and sell.
- Customers that buy the fruits / fruits / vegetables and various extracts.
- Promoters such as government officers.
