Planning and policy alignment
Working closely with farmers
Promoting sustainable agrifood value chains
Engaging multiple stakeholders
Facilitating knowledge exchange and capacity building
Strengthening research agendas
Mobilizing financing for agroecologyParticipants engaged in interactive group discussions to reflect on Cambodia’s existing initiatives, gaps, and opportunities to scale up agroecological practices that support food sovereignty, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience.
CamboDHRRA reaffirms its commitment to supporting inclusive and farmer-led agroecological transitions that are rooted in local realities and aligned with regional and global frameworks.
A big thank you to all partners, including ALiSEA, LICA, CASIC, and the Royal University of Agriculture for hosting this timely and impactful dialogue.
