In 2024, Phetchaburi Rajabhat University implemented the Student Food Insecurity and Hunger Program to address food security and hunger issues among students. The initiative focuses on providing direct food support and promoting self-reliance through the establishment of the Sufficiency Economy Learning Center for Sustainable Area Development, managed by the Faculty of Agricultural Technology.

The center covers approximately 20 rai (about 3.2 hectares) and comprises nine learning stations based on the Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy. The objectives of the center are to:

1. 1. 1. Serve as a food production site for students, staff, and the local community
      2. Provide raw materials and agricultural inputs for nearby farmers.
      3. Function as a professional training site for students in agricultural disciplines.
      4. Act as a technology transfer hub for community knowledge exchange.

The center integrates academic knowledge and modern agricultural innovation to produce short-cycle crops, fast-growing vegetables, mushrooms, eggs, fish, shrimp, and animal feed. These activities not only supply fresh food for consumption but also strengthen students’ practical learning and foster food security on campus and within surrounding communities.
