Farm Hug by BAFS Group
Since 2019, Farm Hug by BAFS Group project has cultivated organic salads and vegetables based on circular economy principles within company premises. The initiative originated from a commitment to providing employees with toxin-free produce for their physical and mental wellbeing, reflecting the company's internal social responsibility values. It began with small vegetable plots at Don Mueang Fuel Storage Station, maintained by rotating employee volunteers, and has since served as a hub for organic farming knowledge exchange and a communal space for promoting employee engagement.
From 2025 onwards, Farm Hug by BAFS Group evolved into a Knowledge Sharing Center for employees, local communities, and the public. It provides expertise in Urban Farming to enhance quality of life and basic living standards, focusing on environmental improvement and food safety. This year, the Company supported the development of communal spaces in two Don Mueang communities to establish organic vegetable plots using household recycled materials. Additionally, for the second consecutive year, the project continued its support for organic plots at the Association for the Promotion of the Status of Women (Emergency Home) to encourage safe food consumption, reduce household expenses, and create future income opportunities, while fostering community integration for balanced and sustainable development.
