Winged bean is not only a high-protein crop, but also a natural solution for a low-carbon food system. By using its biological ability to "make its own fertiliser," it reduces harmful greenhouse gases and restores soil health. In our 8-hectare sandbox, we demonstrate that this simple plant can provide high-quality data for climate finance.

เรื่องเล่าจากลาดบัวหลวงถึงหลวงประสิทธิ์นรกรรม
In Ayutthaya’s lowland fields, my grandfather turned retirement into regeneration—donating land, guiding farmers, and founding Luang Prasit Market.
