Dak Pne 1 Farm

Dak Pne 1 Farm

Dak Pne 1 Farm (DPE1) is our starting point in the journey of building the organic farms of BIOPHAP.

We set our first foot on the land of Dak Pne, Kon Ray, Kon Tum in 2015, met the Bahnar ethnic farmers and convinced them to work on their own land. We introduced the local ethnic minority to organic farming techniques and showed sustainable self-sufficiency of food to them.

Together with the Bahnar  we have been contributing to environmental protection and fighting against global climate change.

Our social project “Grow organic with Bahnar farmers” won the 1st prize in the competition “100 projects against climate change”, which was honored by the French Ministry of Environment, Energy and the Sea in 2016.
