The core objectives of this study are:
To aggregate information from in-depth literature review to reflect the magnitude of
Cambodia’s agricultural development efforts and implications for food security and
poverty alleviation;
To explore climate related issues and their potential consequences for the agricultural
sector by looking at different agro-ecological zones. Importantly, information captured
by this study could inform the choice of appropriate agricultural technology to mitigate
the detrimental effects of natural shocks on agricultural activities;
To validate the information captured, including on policies, to gain deeper understanding
of how farmers are coping with increasingly irregular climate/weather conditions.
Specifically, the study is to collect information and reflect on the current scope of
agricultural development efforts in the context of climate change. It intends to provide indepth
insights with a view to food security and poverty alleviation at large, which can feed into
policy-oriented adaptation strategies for agricultural development
