About 2 wks after #ThreePercentEarth finished up its #APFSD exhibit advocating for #systems based approaches for more #holistically fighting #pesticides #pollution, we serendipitously came upon this article in #MekongEye shedding light on how large agro-companies in #Thailand (and across) #Indochina exploit cash-poor small-holder farms w/ economically-bias 'contract farming instruments' that often drive crop burning leading to dangerously intense regional #airpollution. https://www.mekongeye.com/2023/04/10/fixing-air-pollution/

Just finished up a busy week at this year's #APFSD, #UN Conference Centre in #BKK! We felt privileged to get visits to our exhibit booth from major govt. heads, policy strategists, and various university researchers, and NGOs including, the agriculture minister for the nation of #Fiji (image below), the Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development (#Vietnam), #JamesCook University, and the North East Slow Food & Agrobiodiversity Society (image below) to name a few.
