Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Suchart Chomklin is spearheading the "Zero Food Waste" campaign to help Thailand achieve its goal of cutting food waste by 50% by 2030. The initiative, rolled out by the Department of National Parks, targets all 156 national parks across the country to manage food waste sustainably and reduce harmful methane emissions.

The campaign focuses on three key strategies:
Reduce: Minimize waste at the source by banning foam containers and single-use plastics in park areas.
Reuse & Recycle: turn organic waste into compost and use black soldier fly larvae (BSF) to break down food scraps naturally.
Responsibility: Engage tourists and park operators through education on proper waste separation and management practices.

Currently, 118 national parks are on board, managing over 2,900 tons of waste from 18.5 million visitors. The average waste per visitor has dropped to 0.16 kg per day, and 60% of waste is now processed within the parks themselves.

A five-year plan (2026–2030) will expand the program nationwide, aiming for full participation across all national parks and achieving the 50% food waste reduction target.

Ultimately, the project seeks to lower greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainable tourism, and preserve Thailand's natural resources for future generations.
