Abstract

Effectiveness enhancement of production standard and value-added creation of agricultural product based on local communitys way in Lampang and Tak Provinces by innovation was purposed to strengthen the capacity of the community to learn and receive Implement innovation, applied knowledge to change and managed problems in the community and sustainable self-reliance. Under the results of research that corresponds to 4 issues, 1) forming a model of spatial plans (Flagship) 2) creating experts on new tasks (Researchers/Innovators) 3) expand knowledge to communities and 4) create concrete spatial development plans for sustainable community development, in conducting research to achieve goals and obtain new products based on key issues, i.e. participative learning model; Mechanism of space development based on innovation in community agriculture. It is necessary to elaborate on the issue from the meaning of an “innovative community” is a work of inventions or a process that is newly invented based on the needs of a small group of people living in the same area. “Researcher/innovator community” is a group of people who participate in the creation of a thinking system. (Think/Dont Stop Thinking/Create a Thought Network that Can Analyze and Solve Problems). Upgrading ideas and solutions to actions under the concept of spatial development and innovative community guidelines for sustainable development in the agricultural way of the community. From the operation, the goal is focused on the optimization process, production quality standards and value-added creation of agricultural production in agricultural communitys way of life. The research was to develop an efficiency production system, reduction production costs, agricultural production standards e.g. Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and organic agriculture and creation of value-added agricultural products by participatory research. The decision supporting systems were developed to optimize crop production based on a spatial agricultural data and integrated plant knowledge base. Building and cultivating community researchers/ community innovators was developed to have the potential in efficient production development, agricultural quality standard mangement and value-added of agricultural products towards the security of the grassroot communitys economic stability. The community researchers/community innovators were able to extend obtained knowledge to continual development ideas for efficient production raising, quality standard management and value-added of agricultural products based on participatory research under the cooperation of government agencies support and further development. They were also able to extend obtained knowledge to the network of local agencies and other communities under the scope of the research project in a period of one year. There are main factors that are important requirements, i.e. agricultural way based on seasonal periods which required the implementation of target community and the community area with travel and communication limitations that may affect research operations. Therefore, the learning process has been organized by creating a suitable participatory learning process to develop thinking pattern by active leaning, which is organized knowledge learning activities that learners can take self action and thinking process that community researchers can implement. According to the collectively implementation action plans, integrating methods of organizing the learning process incoporative with academic and research services by training workshops through transfer technology and participatory development technology was performed to extend the learning outcomes into self community implementation by participatory action research (PAR). These learing process lead to the potential change of community researchers/community innovators in management of agricultural production efficiency, quality standard management and value-added creation of agricultural products. The result found that agricultural productivity in the communitys occupation has increased efficiency, cost production reduced by more than 20, agricultural produce quality increased by more than 20% and community agricultural products in market value increased by more than 20%. The 93 Community researchers/innovators were built up and incubated to have the potential in management of agricultural production efficiency, quality standard management and creation ofvalue-added agricultural products, which of 51 and 42 persons in Lampang and Tak provinces, respectively. They can also transfer technology for knowledge expand to self communities, local agency networks and other communities. The process innovation or build on utilization to increase agricultural production efficiency by community agricultural way was created, i.e. efficient enhancement technology and production control that help to reduce costs and to increase producing quality in agricultural ways. The result showed that 46 food products are created, working time production is reduced by 50 percent, labor production costs were reduced by 50%, the better quality of production in terms of weight, consistency, size, etc., improved by more than 50 percent. One system of new information system was created and could be applied to the data for developing an agricultural occupational networks in each sub-district. Lampang provincial model farmers have received certificates of good agricultural practice (GAP) of 24 persons and 47 kinds of plants (Q-certify). For Tak Province, an application of ten and one model agriculturers (total 11 farmers) were submitted for certification GAP and organic standards of plant production areas, respectively. In addition, the database of nutritional quality information, chemical compositions and important constituents of 13 innovative communities were found in this project. The quality and residues database of agricultural produce/commodities were performed to be used as a database for raising of the product quality/standards of 13 communities. The production plant of food/beverage from four communities were developed to raise the plant standard to meet GMP standard. The prototype solar dryer is built up for one community in this research. The special problems of four undergraduate students and one student of High Vocational Certificate were published. There were four topics of the special problem projects of students from Sukhothai Agricultural College were published. Furthermore, The two research articles were presented at the academic conferences.
