Decoding the Future of Plant Proteins from Winged Beans: Ep. 5/6 The Nitrogen-Fixing Frontier in High-Integrity dMRV Sandbox

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.

เชื่อมโยงชุมชนเมืองย่านอารีย์กับชุมชนเกษตรกรรมผ่านการเดินทางของอาหาร

From flooded rice fields to regenerative agroforestry, BTLLAgroforestry reconnects rural Ayutthaya with urban Ari through the journey of food. Ground2Gut links soil restoration, organic farming, and ancestral memory to city health. Each harvest carries not just nutrients—but stories, resilience, and the quiet power of place-based transformation.

Summarising soil and water restoration Phase 1 (2016-2019) at BTLLAgroforestry, Ayutthaya, Thailand

From acidic soil and uncertain rains, BTLLAgroforestry began restoring land in Ayutthaya through syntropic principles and weekend resilience. Phase 1 focused on soil cover, water retention, and ecosystem healing. With 4 hectares now thriving, the journey continues—bridging science, community, and care in the face of climate uncertainty.

My journey on becoming a farmer in permanent agriculture

In Ayutthaya’s reclaimed soil, I began farming with no background—just curiosity and care. Mangoes survived, herbs surprised me, and failures taught more than manuals. This journey in permanent agriculture isn’t about yield alone, but about listening to land, honouring time, and growing roots deeper than crops.
