As revealed in the study, health-related problems affecting Ban Huakrok residents were caused by over reliance on agricultural chemicals. This problem has been alleviated by the residents’ adopting sufficiency economy principles on three levels: awareness, implementation, and outcome. Their success in improving health conditions together with the sufficiency evident in their community context earned them recognition as a model village, one that has succeeded in achieving success in all 6 areas of sufficiency practices: reducing spending, generating additional income, saving, way of life, natural resources and environment conservation, and giving help to others.
