“I gained knowledge and techniques that helped reduce the effects of drought by using less water and improving soil fertility. Besides that, I  have  learned  how  to  develop  a  seasonal  calendar  and  land  use  planning, particularly crop rotation, for growing vegetables”, said Mr. Men Khorn, one of the EU funded project beneficiaries living in Trach Khpos village in the Outdong district of Kampong Speu province.

"Now I am practicing these techniques and I am getting more yield than before, more than we need to just support my family’s consumption", he added.

Since   1995,   through   European   Civil   Protection   and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), the EU has committed close to €13 million for disaster preparedness projects in Cambodia. Under this programme farmers are getting training on   climate   change   adaptation   as   well   as   new   technical training on farming. The programme also focuses on disaster preparedness education and public awareness campaigns.
