Over the past decades, the world has encountered increasing challenges resulting from unprecedented rapid rates of technological advancements, increasing social and economic disparities, dangers from natural disasters, conflicting values and cultures and more recently, life-threatening pandemics.

Amidst such national and global crisis, “Sufficiency Economic Philosophy” elaborated by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 1974 has gained recognition as the beacon of hope guiding the nation towards an Inclusive and Sustainable Growth Model. The philosophy is based on the conviction that sufficiency thinking will strengthen human capabilities with wisdom, morality and immunities to cope with the unforeseeable changes and threats.

The project ‘PANNAR Sufficiency Economic and Agriculture Learning Center’ is established with the aim to inspire and disseminate the King’s Sufficiency Economic Philosophy to the Thai people. The project is located in Nakhon-Ratchasima on a 14 acres land which had been transformed through the New Agriculture Model from arid and rocky deserted areas  to rice fields, reservoirs, vegetables gardens, groves of fruit and general usage trees, and areas for animal farming.
