HM The King had the royal speeches about “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit” as follows

“The afforesting that will be beneficial to the people by using “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit” way is the usable wood, wood of products eating and economic wood to support the irrigation, to absorb the water and to fill the shoulder range along the creek grooves to receive the rain only. The forth benefit is that can help to conserve the soil and the water.”

Simple brief interpretation is tree planting for the sufficient habitation, the sufficient eating, the sufficient use and the ecosystem.
The sufficient habitation means planting the economic wood to make housing and sell.
The sufficient eating means planting the agricultural crops to eat and the herbs.
The sufficient use means planting the wood for the living directly and for the energy such as the firewood and the bamboo etc.
The benefit for the ecosystem: create the completeness and, cause many biological in the forest area.

“3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit” project along the philosophy of sufficient economy

The principle and the reason

The objective

1. Invite the people to plant the trees along the idea of “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”.
2. Manage the format for the value of the planting and improving the original agricultural land to have similar
    condition as the forest.
3. Make the value of the planted trees as a property for saving and solving the problem of the poverty.

The method of the operation

1. Land allotment to use for “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit” from the original
    agricultural land that is the garden, the farm or the paddy field. Break out the area in 30-50 percent of
    the land by having the divided format into 3 forms as follow;

      1. The divided area of “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”

1.1 Divide the land by using the outer boundary area of the agricultural land to plant in 30-50 percent along the
      borderline of the agricultural land.

      2. The divided area of “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”

1.2 Divide the land into the proportional division clearly to plant in 30-50 percent of the land by providing into one
      partof the land.

1.3 Divide the land into the stripe or the bar as appropriate.

      3. The divided area of “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”

2. The disposal of the plants components as the objective by planting in the suitable area, but having the
     elements which cause the sufficient habitation, the sufficient eating and the sufficient use as follow;

2.1 Planting to cause the sufficient habitation such as the tree planting to build housing such as Gold Ta Kien
     Wood, the teak, the yang na, the mahogany, the Taepa White Popinac and the jumpatong etc.

2.2 Planting to cause the sufficient eating such as the tree planting to eat as food, herbal medicine, the drink,
     including the crops planting to trade the products for a living such as various fruits such as the rambutan,
     the durian, the mangosteen, the longgong, the mango etc. The trees that give the products to sell are
     such as the palm, the coconut, the rubber tree etc.

2.3 Planting to cause the sufficient use such as the tree planting to use in the household, to use the energy,
    to be various tools for the career such as the bamboo, the rattan for basketry as the furniture and household
    goods etc, some fast-growing plants to use as the firewood, the charcoal, the energy wood such as the
    jatropha, the palm etc. The plants for making the agricultural tools such as making the hoe, the knife, an ax,
    the cart, the table, the chair, the cupboard etc.

The elements along the objective of “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”

Manage the structure and the sequence of the trees for “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”
To be the management in the structure of the plants to have similar condition as the forest to benefit to the balance of
the ecosystem. By having 3 layers of multi-layer canopies such as the top layer of multi-layer canopies, the middle layer
of multi-layer canopies, the lower layer of multi-layer canopies. And if it is the management in the structure of the
utilization, will be 4 layers that are the top layer, the middle layer, the lower layer and the basement as the agricultural
model of 4 layers, the ancient garden, Som Rom garden.

3.1 The plants in top layer of multi-layer canopies are the tree planting to build housing such as “Gold Ta Kien Wood”,
      “Teak”, “Yang Na”, “Siamess neem tree” and “Jumpatong” etc. and the plants that are high stem and have the
      fruits for food such as the twisted cluster bean, Reang, the santol, the coconut, the betel nut palm etc.

3.2 The plants in middle layer of multi-layer canopies are mostly the plants for eating, selling, being food and herbs such
      as the mango, the jackfruit tree, the rose apple, the mangosteen, the bamboo, the durian, the longkong, the palm etc.
3.3 The plants to cover the ground surface, both of as the food, the herb and the utensil such as the coffee, various
      kinds of vegetable, the cha-plu, the lemon, the rattan, the jatropha etc.

3.4 The plants that can use the underground part (roots) to plant for the sufficient eating such as the kloy, the ginger,
      the galangal, the wild ginger, the kratue etc.

The planting process in the above form will have the plants from three kinds of forest that are the forest of the
sufficient habitation, the forest of the sufficient eating and the forest of the sufficient use and will benefit more in the
term of environmental balance.

The top layer of multi-layer canopies
The middle layer of multi-layer canopies
The lower layer of multi-layer canopies
The basement

The picture of structure and the layers of multi-layer canopies in “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”
that is similar condition as the forest.

4. The process of tree value creation in the project of “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”
     is giving the value to the tree for the sufficient habitation to preserve the land for the owner and for the learning
     to reduce the costs from the growing crops to eat.

5. The area of “3 kinds of the afforesting give 4 kinds of benefit”

5.1 The agricultural land of the people in the community inside or outside the forest boundary.

5.2 The model community of sufficient economy as appropriate.

5.3 In the area for the mutual benefit of the community.

* Remark: The budget is 8,800 Baht/field, but it will be increased as the size of the land. The budget of No.2, 3,
   and 4 are a fixed rate.
