<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Sustainable agriculture and rural
development are vital for Cambodia's economic resilience. The Research Centre
emphasizes innovative practices that enhance food security while promoting
environmental sustainability. By supporting smallholder farmers through access
to resources and training, the Centre fosters community resilience and economic
stability. Initiatives focusing on local food production align with Cambodia's
aim for 70% of food consumption to be sourced locally. The Centre advocates for
equitable access to markets, ensuring that rural populations benefit from their
agricultural efforts. By prioritizing rural development, the Centre contributes
to poverty alleviation and social inclusion, fostering a sense of community and
shared responsibility for sustainable practices, which are essential for
Cambodia's long-term development.<o:p></o:p></p>
