Buffalo Village Wisdom Community Enterprise
History
"The 'Local Wisdom Buffalo Enterprise Group' is located in Ban Non Sawang, Na Wa Sub-district, Phu Wiang District, Khon Kaen Province. Originally known as 'Ban Hem Ae' in Village No.9, it was relocated due to the construction of the Ubol Ratana Dam in 1965 (B.E. 2508). The new village, 'Ban Non Udom,' was established in Village No.6 with Mr. Si Wichai as the first village head. Later, 'Ban Non Sawang,' Village No.10, was formed with Mr. Sing Kamolkorn as the village head. The community's leaders value preserving their local culture, self-sufficient economy, and the conservation and development of Thai buffaloes, which remains vital to their way of life."
"Village Moo.10, Ban Non Sawang, has been recognized as a leading Thai Buffalo Conservation and Development Village in the Northeastern region. The village excels in preserving and improving the quality and quantity of Thai buffaloes. They receive support from various organizations, including the Department of Livestock Development, Khon Kaen Province, and the National Culture Commission, and actively promote knowledge dissemination and training within the community."
"The 'Local Wisdom Buffalo Enterprise Group' was established in 2010 by members within the community dedicated to the conservation and development of Thai buffaloes. They engage in various activities such as preserving and improving the breed, promoting livelihoods, disease management, training, and field visits. The group also encourages young people to learn self-sufficient economic lifestyles, utilizing buffalo labor for rice plowing and adding value through buffalo products. Additionally, they implement projects like using organic fertilizers from animal waste to replace chemical fertilizers and develop community-based tourism for sustainable community development. The group is led by Mr. Bualom Nasomphot as the chairman."
