Dan's project tested and implemented organic rice production using organic compost in a small watershed area of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The goal was to teach local rice farmers and residents as well as visitors (100,000 people a year) to the Huai Hong Krai Krai Royal Development Study Center, about alternatives to chemical fertilizers in rice production.
