OBJECTIVE
I especially love the environment and the farmer at the same time, and I am also a freedom-loving person. I believe that nature is the key to sustainable development, and my mission is to heal the relationship between people and nature with chemical-free agriculture and agroforestry.
After finishing my degree in Agriculture , I returned to the countryside to become a farmer and co-founded Midori Farm, where we are trying to solve the problem of rural livelihoods by organic coffee production and Ecotourism services Farmstay .
As a small farm, we can stand from the farmer's perspective and quickly apply all solutions without waiting for enough support resources.I am grateful for the help of all the farmers I meet and see value in their work, and I want to work with them, not help them.

My current project:
Midori Farm: Established in 2017, testing a sustainable development model on a small farm scale (2 hectares), we stand from the perspective of a farmer with limited support to try operating a farm that does not use chemical use in farming. We produce coffee, do farmstay services, ecological tours and have a small vegetable garden for use and a few fruit trees.
Currently we have 5 members and 2-4 affiliated farms providing coffee products.

Midori Coffee: A coffee production experience from farm to cup, we try to produce coffee with a higher standard, focusing on consumer health and environmental protection. Then I realized that if the quality of coffee was higher, I could sell it at a higher price, supporting the transition to sustainable ecological farming.
Eco Tour: I operate short and long tours, to provide customers with an experience of how agricultural products are made. After Covid-19, we have realized that we are separated from nature, and now is the time to return. I hope I can connect and heal the relationship between people and nature through the introduction of decent production farms, while promoting the regional economy.
