On 8 December 2014, The Bangkok Post carried a story titled, ‘Big Changes begin down at the farm,' a report on the first organic rice harvest from a joint venture between a company and a village in Northeast Thailand. This is particularly noteworthy as the article was written by the Chair of the Democrat Party's policy unit about a project carried out by his company. The article cited the need to revitalize Thailand's aging farming communities and indirectly suggested the benefits of going organic as a way forward. This may be something to look forward to, should the Democrat Party return to government.
