Abstract: Abstract Environmental challenges have heightened concerns about sustainability in Thailand. However, the current sustainability initiatives have limited focus and only benefit specific farming communities while neglecting others. To address this issue, embracing a comprehensive approach that considers diverse cultural and religious perspectives is essential. This article proposes a life course model that emphasizes the significance of Islamic sustainability principles for encouraging Thai Muslim farmers to adopt sustainable agriculture. The paper suggests exploring the long-term consequences of incorporating Islamic sustainability principles into agricultural practices using the proposed model as theoretical underpinning. It also endorses investigating the impact of policies, institutions, and religious and cultural organizations in fostering an environment conducive to sustainable agriculture based on Islamic values. Ultimately, this research highlights the transformative potential of Islamic sustainability principles, presenting a promising approach to help advance agriculture in Thailand.
