Addressing Household Food Security in the Context of Changing Climate and Environment September 9, 2012

Poverty, hunger, malnutrition and climate change threaten to destabilize economic, social, political and environmental conditions. There is a dire need to learn and disseminate appropriate strategies and approaches in dealing with challenges to achieve food security at the household level. In Cambodia, food security efforts have received special attention as the country reached self-sufficiency in rice and is now moving towards exporting this commodity. Considerable emphasis has been put on backyard systems for livestock
production, and, more recently on small scale aquaculture. Community based natural resource management has also received considerable attention. This has sufficiently scaled up models for community forestry, fisheries and mangrove rehabilitation which can be seen in various parts of the country. The course highlights opportunities to learn from Cambodia’s rich experiences and ongoing
initiatives in coastal, forest and agricultural settings.
