Reducing pesticides and increasing crop diversification offer ecological and economic benefits for farmers—a case study in Cambodian rice fields
This study presents a number of policy implications that should be considered by every rice-producing country. It strongly suggests that policies should be tailor-made to suit specific agricultural sub-sectors, as many of the climate and disaster adaptation practices commonly applied to different agricultural...
Agricultural diversity can be beneficial for environmental health, resilience, and food production. Biodiverse cropping systems can suppress pests more effectively than single species or varietal stands because they harbor populations of natural enemies that protect. In addition, genetic diversity within crops can suppress diseases by blocking the ability of pathogens to freely transmit diseases...
Persuading farmers to try out and consequently adopt new practices is challenging. Adoption rates of CSA practices in Indonesia are low. Increasingly, agricultural extension agents serve as intermediaries to enhance communication between technology developers and farmers. The CORIGAP project recognized that single, isolated interventions are unlikely to be sufficient for sustainable, climate-friendly...
