The second installment of Groundwork, The North Face’s series on internal sustainability initiatives, takes an intimate dive into the life of one rubber farmer in Thailand. Chorthip Pragpree is a multigenerational farmer and an essential contributor to TNF’s industry-leading regenerative rubber program. As a steward of her community, she works with brands like TNF to establish sustainable programs and equitable pay.
Over the course of four days, our crew was lucky to catch a glimpse into her world and document the work she is doing by practicing agroforestry in a region of Thailand that primarily farms rubber trees as a mono-crop. Her work shows us the tremendous potential to prosper when we tend to the whole living ecosystem, working in symbiosis with nature's natural processes.
This film features beautiful imagery from resident DP Chris Naum and yet another beautifully constructed Brand Story from our very own Lindsey Hagen.
