Phnom Penh, 28-29 September 2021: Cambodia Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Intensification Consortium (CASIC) held its 2nd Annual Regional Workshop with the focus on development of and transition towards Conservation Agriculture & Sustainable Agriculture (CA/SI) and Agroecology (AE) in the region. The virtual workshop was attended about 150 participants from 28 countries.
Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Intensification and Agroecology presents a new pathway to sustainable agriculture production and land management, while safeguarding biodiversity and soil organic carbon accumulation. Conservation Agriculture presents an innovative practice in agriculture production systems, leading to improved livelihoods and greater ability of farmers and communities to be resilient to climate change impacts and economic shocks.
The global food production is estimated to increase by almost 30% by 2030 and 50% by 2050 in response to the future food demand. It is expected that one solution is to increase food production by expanding the amount of farmland; however, agriculture related land-use change may generate more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increase loss of biodiversity.
