Thailand's National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) is scaling wolffia (ผำ), a traditional aquatic plant, into an industrial food ingredient by integrating smart farming technology, real-time sensors, and precision agriculture. The initiative targets consistent year-round production of high-protein wolffia (>40% protein) with standardized quality metrics through controlled light, nutrients, and post-harvest management. This positions wolffia as a viable alternative protein source for food manufacturers and creates income opportunities for farmers who can meet commercial standards.
