Conservation agriculture for food security in Cambodia and the Philippines

Abstract

This presentation presents the research proposal for conservation agriculture (CA) and food security in Cambodia and the Philippines (LTRA-12). Using three important components of CA--minimum soil disturbance, continuous mulch, and diverse species rotation--this project will compare researcher-controlled conservation agriculture production systems (CAPS) with conventional plots. With this research, they will promote a sustainable and economically-viable production system in Cambodia and the Philippines.
