Thailand’s Maize Farmers Build Climate Resilience

Thailand’s Maize Farmers Build Climate Resilience

Nearly one in five Thais depend on farming—but climate change is rewriting the seasons they once relied on. In Phetchabun, maize farmers are adapting with climate-smart practices through the SCALA programme by UNDP and FAO funded by International Climate Initiative (IKI) —using organic fertilizers, solar-powered irrigation, and AI tools to boost resilience. Women like Kritsana are leading change, sharing knowledge, and proving that adaptation is both possible and empowering.
