In Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Basin, smallholder farmers like Soda Thai are facing the harsh realities of climate change — unpredictable rainfall, floods, and droughts that threaten their crops and livelihoods. This video follows their journey through the PEARL project, a major initiative led by FAO and the Royal Government of Cambodia, with support from the Green Climate Fund.
It’s helping 450,000 farmers adapt by:
• Growing high-value crops that meet market demand
• Using agrometeorological bulletins to guide planting decisions
• Forming cooperatives to boost income and share knowledge
• Building direct partnerships with buyers to avoid intermediaries
• Receiving training in climate-smart agriculture and entrepreneurship
Watch now to discover how climate information, cooperation, and innovation are empowering Cambodia’s farmers.
