Ayutthaya’s Food Story: More Than Just Rice

Ayutthaya’s food story reveals deep tensions between tradition, climate resilience, and urban expansion. Ground2Gut and BTLLAgroforestry respond with community-rooted innovation, supported by Open Forest Protocol on the MRV carbon platform to justify FoodInnovate's and the community's efforts. Beyond rice, this region embodies the global challenge: designing food systems that honour history, adapt to change, and sustain both people and place.

The journey begins @BTLLAgroforestry – from soil to human health

In 2016, BTLLAgroforestry began as a humble experiment in Ayutthaya—restoring soil, water, and dignity. From bioremediation to climate-resilient farming, we cultivated change from the ground up. Today, it’s more than a farm. It’s a living lab where ecology meets community, and food begins with care, not chemicals.
