Why Food Abundance Shapes a True Sanctuary

Thailand’s food haven is the cornerstone for a Christian Goshen—a place of safety during a pandemic or global conflict. If times are tough, people are hungry, and you’re protecting your family in a net food-importing nation, food runs out in 3-6 months. Government bunkers prioritize military and elites, leaving families vulnerable. Hungry neighbors become looters and mobs. For property buyers and Goshen seekers, a food-secure nation is key.

Thailand excels as a net food exporter with diverse, healthy agriculture, making it a sanctuary against obesity for investors, freedom-seekers, Christians, locals, digital nomads, families, and expats. At Goshen Lake, Thailand’s First Christian Estate, we’re building a community with a church and 70 homes where food abundance supports a high standard of living and health.

Why Food Security is the #1 Goshen Criterion

The minimal requirement is a net food exporter, halting exports during crises to feed its people. Importers rely on fragile supply chains. Thailand, a top net food exporter, produces rice, fruits, and vegetables in abundance. High-diversity crop nations fare best, avoiding single-commodity risks. GMO dependency is a threat—sterile seeds force annual purchases from foreign suppliers, as seen in Turkey’s shift to British GMO potatoes, sacrificing local varieties for imports.

Sri Lanka’s crisis exemplifies this peril. Blessed with fertile land, it prioritized tea exports under Western influence. When fertilizer shortages hit in 2021, tea yields fell 18%, sparking food scarcity and unrest. Protesters stormed the presidential palace, driving the leader out—a reminder that money talks, but food security walks.

How to Tell Which Food-Exporting Countries Are Healthy

A simple way to measure food quality is its effect on eaters. The following map displays adult obesity rates from WHO 2022 data, referenced on image below.

World map showing adult obesity rates by country in varying colors. High rates in red, low in yellow. Key countries listed below map.

Red: High obesity (e.g., U.S. at 42.4%) suggests poor-quality, GMO-heavy, processed foods.

Yellow: Low rates (e.g., India at 3.9%) indicate malnutrition and poverty.

Orange: Moderate rates (e.g., Thailand at 10.0%) reflect healthy, diverse diets, often banning GMOs.

Nations like Russia (23.1%), Europe (except UK, 19.9%), Iran (16.5%), and Thailand ban or limit GMO seeds, aligning with this theory. Thailand’s 10% obesity rate stems from diverse, non-GMO agriculture, with GMO usage capped at 5% for imports.

Thailand Ticks Three Boxes for Food Security

Thailand ticks three boxes:

✓ Net Food Exporter
✓ High Diversity of Crops
✓ Low GMO Reliance (5% max for imported processed foods; domestic bans GMO cultivation)

In southern Thailand, Goshen Lake, Thailand’s First Christian Estate, offers a resilient haven where food security ensures health and fights obesity.
