Numerous projects to help instruct the OA to farm organically and to use the raw materials available to them in their surroundings. This was done in Peninsular Malaysia as well as Sabah and Sarawak as well as in neighboring countries such as Myanmar/ China. As an advisor and a founding member for Food For The Hungry International (FHI), this has been a continuous ongoing project

Projects are usually started by nonprofit organizations as a solution to bring up the Orang Asli from helplessness & Poverty, to own profits, and to have a sustainable food production system that will maintain their ecosystem, forest and reduce climate change. It was created to restore dignity, Strengthen Leadership and Unity, and Transforms relationships between consumer and farmer (the OA).

We are typically brought in to consult and advise on the setting up of a sustainable agriculture organic farm that can maintain the ecosystem vs mass-produced chemical food with high carbon emissions. Here the OA are educated and trained and were eager to learn new skills – everything from farm set up, seeding, harvesting, transplanting, grow-out, pest control, production of natural fertilizers (eg: teaching them to produce their own FAA) etc.

The Cambodia Projects was a project to help Suay Rieng Agro products Cooperative, Cambodia into a self-sustaining/self-sustainable agriculture cooperative. We conducted both practical and theoretical training in technical sustainable agriculture. This project was done in order to provide a working solution to the local problems.

The Cambodia project encompassed animal husbandry (farming of animals), aquaculture and agriculture. This project was developed using eco-friendly, sustainable farming methodologies and by adapting and adhering to Good Agriculture Practices (GAP). Duck and Buffalo farming was done alongside with natural farming of rice and cash crops such as long beans, mustard greens, etc.

This project benefited the local community whose livelihood depends on farming and with the growing demand for natural, pesticide-free products, the knowledge they gained from this training would help them move forward and adapt to the changing market demand.

We have experience as consultants to Cargill Vietnam & Cargill Feed on Fish / Prawn Feeds and on Chemical Free Aquaculture in Vietnam; teaching farmers along the Mekong delta and Southern Vietnam as well as Cargill Vietnam personnel on the methodology and techniques of chemical free aquaculture in Vietnam. Some of the target species that we worked on were the Pangasius, Oreochromis, Anabas, etc. Here we advised and educated local fish farmers on natural farming methodologies

The Selama Project was a project with close to 30 ponds culturing of “Udang Galah” (Scientific Name(SN): Macrobracium rosenbergii) and Taiwanese Bream (SN: Oreochromis sp.) in Selama, Perak, Malaysia. In collaboration with a local farmer, Mr. Nawawi, the Selama Project was developed using sustainable and natural farming methodologies on a commercial scale without the use of any synthetic chemicals and antibiotics thus reducing/eliminating negative footprints in nature. The Selama Project also encompassed agriculture outputs which included winter melon, okra, cucumber, brinjal (eggplant) amongst others.

This project was to teach farmers and members of the community methodology for the successful cultivation of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Udang Galah / Malaysian Giant Freshwater Prawn) in ponds together with the culture of chemical-free Tilapia (Taiwanese Bream var.) The project also donated needed books to the primary school in the area.

The Selama Project provided job security and income for many villagers in the area and the profits also spilled over into the local community and schools. Single mothers were employed under this project for the processing of the harvest and local men (young and old) were also employed to run the day-to-day operations of the farm – This provided job opportunities in an area where job opportunities were sparse.
