This conference report produced in collaboration with the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium) and Royal University of Agriculture (Cambodia) discusses the way sustainable technical innovations are transferred among small farmers in the South of Kampong Thon, Cambodia. On the one hand, it considers the different factors that intervene in the transmission of the technical innovations and distinguishes those which help and those which delay the transmission. Moreover, it considers the most convenient types of support for the transmission. On the other hand, it argues how a social organization of farmers helps the transfer.

Ce mémoire de Master en Sciences de la population et du développement, à finalité spécialisée en développement de 2018 analyse les principaux déterminants de la transmission des innovations agroécologiques parmi les petits agriculteurs du sud de la province de Kampong Thom au Cambodge. Ainsi, la cohésion sociale entre les membres de groupes de producteurs (qui peut être promue par différentes approches) permet de favoriser les innovations sociales, institutionnelles, communicationnelles, mais aussi agrotechniques, qui ont tendance à se renforcer l’une l’autre dans une logique processuelle.

This article produced in collaboration with the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium) and Royal University of Agriculture (Cambodia) deals with the advantages of sustainable farming practices. It presents the way a non-governmental organization (MODE) spreads organic agricultural good practices to local vulnerable farmers in the central province of Kampong Thom, Cambodia. It finds significant differences between traditional agricultural practices and organic good practices. The latter leads to sustainability, increases income, food production diversity and number of risk mitigation planned or already taken action. Nevertheless, the article mentions that the global level of sustainability remains low given the local farmers’ lack of knowledge and the prominence of traditional agricultural practices.

This paper was produced in collaboration with the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium) and Royal University of Agriculture (Cambodia) and presented in 2017 at the 19th Organic World Congress in New Delhi (India). It presents the results of a survey to assess the benefits of spreading organic agricultural good practices to local vulnerable farmers, encouraging them to develop environmentally friendly crop production systems and to diversify their income.

This technical booklet for a Cambodian partner is particularly interesting for people who want to include useful data in their reports. In section 9, you should understand what happens when data is added in the database, especially for follow-ups and self-help groups. In what follows, it depends on what you wish. If you understand section 3.7 of the first report, you will be able to search data in the database without making mistakes.

This technical booklet focuses on how to add data unfailingly in the database of a Cambodian partner. A database will sustain the information. The mechanism cannot work entirely on its own: it needs a user to know what to perform.

The first aspect will explain at length what a form is. Depending on the nature of the information, it can be interesting to learn where the data is stored.

A local database is very easy to append new information in the database. This device was created to make it faster for you to complete the follow-up forms, but please be careful: do not forget to update the data that may have changed since the previous aftercare.
