Mae Chaem is the biggest corn plantation district in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Corn farmers in Mae Chaem use open burning to manage corn residues which has led to environmental problems, i.e., greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and soil degradation. Corn monocultures produce a large amount of corn residues annually. After harvesting, corn residues are left in the field without utilization and have caused severe pollution problems stemming from open burning for over a decade. Although there are many technologies for corn residue utilization, the highest rejection of the technologies for reducing open burning is found in corn farmers. The goal of this research was to identify sustainable options for reducing open burning of corn residues, which in turn would reduce environmental problems and enhance economic and social benefits. The research method employed was an Analytical Hierarchy Process-based multi-criteria decision-making approach with three main criteria, nine sub-criteria and nine alternatives. Questionnaires with pair-wise comparison matrices were used for interviewing and weighting by experts. The results show that sustainable options for reducing open burning should be prioritized to achieve environmental benefits in reducing air pollution, economic benefits, and social acceptance by corn farmers. The most suitable technological and non-technological alternatives were biomass electricity and mixed cropping. This study identified and ranked the technological and nontechnological options for mitigating open burning.
