LALANA SRIKRAM

WHY HER? Growing up on her family’s farm in the northeast of Thailand, Lalana was aware from a young age of the challenges farmers face in making ends meet. In 2007, she established Raitong Organics Farm, a social initiative that supports organic farmers by connecting them to consumers locally and internationally. One of her most successful projects has been the CSA Munching Box, a subscription-based programme that delivers fresh, seasonal organic fruit and vegetables to homes around Thailand. NEXT FRONTIER Lalana is working to transform Raitong Organics Farm into a learning centre where other farmers and the public can learn more about growing organic food.
