This book tells the untold stories of that shift in Thailand, a country that is taking on the challenge to integrate consumption, production and industry with sustainability, the improvement of well-being and quality of life, and the preservation and conservation of the environment in which our lives depend. At its vanguard would be a baker’s dozen of trades collectively representing the bulk of the country’s productive economy who, with support from government at home and abroad, have succeeded in floating a raft of measures aimed at capturing sustainability across the social and material life cycle of production. From cooperative rice paddies, to eco-textiles, bioplastics and organic shrimp farming, this edition seeks to catalogue the conscience and enterprise of those in Thai industry and trade, in their efforts to meet ever-evolving international standards on ‘green’ production and sustainability. In detailing this effort, it is hoped that this book will provide guidance and inspiration for others - in Thailand and elsewhere - to do the same.
