| 2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality | 2.4.1 Proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture | - Increasing in organic peddy field at Srinakharinwirote university, Sakaeo provience. |
| 2.5 By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed | 2.5.1 Number of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture secured in either medium- or long-term conservation facilities | - Increase local black stricky rice seed and promote the local seed preservation. |
This project's goals were to research and preserve the local rice varieties, increase the production of the local black sticky rice, learn more regarding the organic paddy field in the SWU, Sakaeo area, and build a learning center for local farmers and other people with an interest.
The significance of this effort is due to the preservation and propagation of traditional rice cultivars. The genetic diversity of the local rice is widely recognized as an important consideration in the advancement of rice breeding and the generation of novel rice varieties. Furthermore, this particular species exhibits a remarkable capacity to effectively adapts to the diverse environmental conditions and climatic variations prevalent in Thailand, hence facilitating the advancement of organic farming practices within the region and SDGs
