For different actors, feed corn farming is interpreted differently dependent on their interests. Some actors viewed it as a destructive farming practice, while others claimed it was a means for development. Apart from the contested meanings of feed corn, the chapter discussed the contradictions of state policies on upland areas between the protection of forestlands on the one hand, and the promotion of agrocommodity production on the other hand. It revealed that the policies of different government agencies were often contradictory and the policy making of the government is far from an apolitical process. I demonstrated some examples of the connection and close relationship among the Thai government policy, the interests of large business actors, and the influence of supra-state organizations which reveals the discrimination of the state towards local people’s farming practices. While local people are excluded from access to natural resources, exploitation of natural resources for the interests of business companies continues to occur in state forest areas.
