GRET and its local partner CIRD have been implementing a rural development project since 2010 in Siem Reap province, in order to improve and secure the living conditions of family farmers through agroecological practices in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The specific objectives of the project are as follow:
Promote agroecological intensification and diversification of agricultural productionsStrengthening producer organisations and structuring local agricultural value chains to answer consumers’ needs and facilitate the sale of products on marketsSupport provincial stakeholders in the construction and implementation of a development plan for efficient and sustainable local food systems.
More specifically, the aim is to improve and secure the living conditions of some 2,217 farmers who are members of 9 cooperatives, by developing more efficient production and marketing systems for agricultural products, through support for agroecology, market access and the structuring of professional agricultural organizations.
To achieve these objectives, the programme proposes to train family farms to develop productive, diversified agriculture that respects the environment and consumer health, using agroecology practices that meet the food and nutritional needs of rural populations. Since the beginning, the project has been focusing on 3 value chains: chicken, rice and vegetables. After more than 14 years of implementation, GRET aims to revise its technical support to family farms and local stakeholders, to better cope with the evolution of the local context and the effects of the climate change.
In 2024, the team carried out an agrarian analysis to assess the diversity of the types of farms supported by the project. This assessment covers - but is not limited to - household living conditions, income, yields and production systems, as well as the challenges faced by farmers, resilience to shocks and vulnerability to climate change in the four project’s districts.
