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.
