Abstract: Despite being one of the world’s major exporters of food, Thailand is facing mounting problems concerning unstainable agriculture practices. Organic farming could help to address environmental, social and economic issues, organic rice practices are proven to improve soil fertility, foster biodiversity, increase economic yield. The stakeholders of organic rice practices should adopt the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) favorable policies and embrace the digital era. The increased utilization of smart organic farming technology and greater access of corporate social responsibility could help to add the organic rice value and enlarge the export volumes to international markets. The effectively implementation of the marketing ethical strategies could help to reduce Thailand’s rice famer heavy household debt and get out of Thai poverty debt traps.

Abstract: The study examined the landuse change using GIS and remote sensing in the northern part of Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. Landsat Tm of 1986, 1999 and landsat ETM of 2015 of 30m x 30m resolution were used for the landuse change analysis. Supervised classification was used to classify the imagery into major landuse of thick vegetation, built up area, swamp forest, farmland/sparse vegetation and waterbodies. Normalized Diffrence Vegetation Index (NDVI) was used to measure the status of vegetation health and classify the entire area into less/not vegetation landuse (LNV) and highly vegetation (HV) landuse. The entire study area was gridded into 10m x10m quadrat whereby 7 quadrats were randomly in LNV and 6 quadrats in HV. Findings revealed that thick vegetation reduced by 129.87% while built up area increased by 468.11% between 1986 and 2015. LNV covered 10.46 km2, 12.02 km2 and 17.89 km2 while HV covered 22.44 km2, 20.88 km2 and 15.01 km2 in 1986, 1999 and 2015 respectively.

Abstract: The result of the work showed a rapid growth in built-up land occupying 182.2km2 (70.0%) and cultivation occupying 7.4km2 (2.9%) in 2017 in the study area. While, in1985 witnessed a reduction in these classes having 83.4km2 (32.0%) and 3.7km2 (1.4%) respectively. In 1985, Vegetation occupied 169.9km2 (65.3%) and experienced a reduction in 2017 to 67.4km2 (25.9%) while water body remained 3.3km2(1.3%) with little or no notable changes between the referenced years. It was also observed that the changes that occurred in the sampling points at the referenced years replicated itself in other parts of the study area, hence, the recommendation to raise awareness among relevant stakeholders about the importance of protecting vegetative landcover as well as the adverse effects and consequences associated with deforestation, overgrazing and improper agriculture activities on vegetation.
