Integrating Agriculture & NRM: USAID/Cambodia’s
Feed the Future and GCC
Kathmandu November 15, 2011

FTF Cambodia has 3 integrated components
• Rice-fish-horticulture sectors • Household agricultural
production • Livelihoods diversification • Post harvest activities • Access to finance • Behavior change nutrition
education
Reduced food insecurity for 100,000 households in rural Tonle Sap focusing on:
Improved ability to adapt to climate change by targeting:
• Agricultural and fisheries management techniques
• Community-based natural resource management of forests, fisheries, water resources and protected areas
• Ecosystem services
In collaboration with RGC, improved capacity for national-level policy and research through:
1 2

Food security Natural resource management & GCC
• Applied research • Inventory and valuation of key natural resources • New SFFSN development (country investment)
National level capacity building

Agricultural/Environmental Profile of Cambodia
Crop production concentrates around Mekong river & Tonle Sap lake
High fertility Medium fertility Low fertility
Paddy rice Forest Orchards
Rainfall and seasonal floods are critical to soil fertility and food production
6
Rural Tonle Sap: • 200K food insecure HH lean season • 45% poverty rate • 36% of Cambodia’s poor • Highest concentration of stunting &
malnutrition • Highest soil fertility • Good water availability • 2 of top 10 rice producing provinces

Tonle Sap has highest soil fertility & water availability
Tonle Sap is 2nd most populated region
GCC: flooded, evergreen & deciduous dry forests
Tonle Sap has highest share of food insecure and is 2nd in poverty
Target pool of 70K food insecure households in key lowland and forest areas

• Increased income opportunities from NTFP and conservation activities
• Improved resilience of agricultural production to climate stressors
• Improved watershed management
Adaptation to Climate Change
Impact on FTF target population
Climate change: impacts and adaptation
• High vulnerability country • Extremes in flooding and
drought • Temperature increase of
0.5-2.5 degrees Celsius • Change in vegetation
patterns
Potential Climate Change impact
• Flooded, evergreen & deciduous dry forests and Tonle Sap basin
• Drought resistant & other appropriate cultivars
• Certification and audit requirements for the CDM, REDD, REDD+ and voluntary markets
Alignment with Royal Government of Cambodia Strategies
Strategic Framework for Food Security & Nutrition
Strategy for Agriculture & Water
(e.g. Agriculture and livestock production, higher incomes, capacity to cope with risks & shocks)
(e.g. Policy & regulation; capacity building; agricultural research, extension & education; food security; water & land management; agriculture business marketing)
• Agricultural productivity & economic diversification
• Inputs, extension & post harvest • Natural resource management and
climate change adaptation • Access to finance (credit) • Institutional capacity
RGC investment plan programs
FTF/GCC strategic areas
8 These links confirmed through ongoing TWG process and Food Policy Stocktaking Roundtable
• NRM (farms, forests, fisheries) • Institutional capacity • Sustainable economic benefits for
livelihoods • Adaptive capacity to GCC • Mitigation efforts to combat GCC/REDD+
National Forest Program (2010)
Protected Areas Law (2008)
Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM)
(20 year program)
(Mandates the National Protected Areas Strategic Management Plan)
(Forestry, fisheries and protected area strategies mandate CBNRM to reverse forest loss and impact on local livelihoods.)

Stocktaking roundtable prioritized areas for research & policy development
Agriculture Policy & Strategy
Food security, nutrition & social protection
Natural resources & climate change
Priority research areas • Agriculture census / survey; land
suitability analysis & crop zoning • Rice value-chain differentiation
and horticulture analysis • Groundwater research for Ag. • Upland agriculture knowledge • Trade offs: export vs. local FS Priority policy capacity building • Policy communication strategy • Policy harmonization – across line
ministries • Agriculture/Farm insurance policy
(crop, livestock and fisheries) • Policy on agricultural services
quality control • Policy on promotion of Ag. value-
addition and job creation
Priority research areas • Analysis of food consumption and
utilization behavior (including root causes of food insecurity and nutritional deficiency)
• Impact of improvement of different production systems on food security and nutrition
• Nutritional impact of shocks such as damming rivers
Priority policy capacity building • Evaluation of efficiency of existing
programs for evidence-based advocacy for more investment on social protection
• Information (income and prices) and data for efficient and effective monitoring, evaluation and targeting
Priority research areas • Prediction of CC impacts on FS in
Cambodia • Balance long-term CC risk & current
NRM/governance challenges • Advantages & risks of large scale
concession vs. S/H systems Priority policy capacity building • Strategies for investment in
agriculture R&D in CC adaptation and mechanisms to communicate effectively to farmers
• Defining strategy for common pool resources, including livelihoods effects of community forestry and community fishery reforms
• Strategies to support women roles in CC adaptation
FTF & GCC interventions should be mutually reinforcing
• Value chain investments in nutrient rich crops • Homestead gardening • More efficient food processing and storage:
increase effective yields without increasing land under cultivation.
• Increased access to piped, potable and affordable water & sanitation (ongoing)
• Explore use of agriculture delivery platforms to promote environmentally sound interventions
Improved food security & diversity
Environmental health-related behaviors improved
Support country capacity and ownership
• Advocacy to elevate agriculture and NRM on national agenda • Capacity building for development, implementation and monitoring & evaluation of
agriculture, NRM and climate related programs • Research to inform policy development and decision-making • Inventory and valuation of key natural resources: both forest and agricultural
Examples of GCC related interventions • Income diversification NTFPs (honey, resin,
rattan, cardamom, etc.) • Watershed management (works to improve,
maintain, & grow fish stocks) • Silviculture activities introduced in degraded
watersheds
Examples of FTF related interventions

• Community-based water quality monitoring systems developed
• Train community leaders to monitor and protect community natural resources
• National & sub-national REDD+ dialogues

• Lack of available and reliable data
• Limited number local NGOs in the agriculture and NRM sectors able to receive direct funding
• Technical and project management capacity remains a challenge at many levels
• Coordination challenges for cross-sector & cross-strategy issues
• Agriculture and GCC are new fields for USAID/Cambodia
Key constraints in Cambodia:
