Collaborative Learning on Agroecology

In Cambodia, agroforestry provides many opportunities for farmers to increase their resilience to climate change and improve their livelihoods. It also offers an alternative land-use management system to monocropping systems, as it helps to improve soil fertility and profitability simultaneously. This reduces the need to encroach further into forested areas for new land driven by unfertile soil. Currently, I am conducting action research with small-scale farmers by facilitating, designing, and evaluating participatory learning processes on agroforestry and agroecology. Participating farmers report benefits from applying these approaches and the key is the collaborative innovation process to find real solutions to real problems

I dream of a future where Cambodian farmers have food sovereignty, resilience to climate change, healthy living and the forests are thriving, restored, and maintained
