Around 120 stakeholders from government, civil society, development partners, and farmer groups gathered in Phnom Penh for a national policy dialogue promoting agroecology and farmer-led innovation as key pathways to sustainable and resilient food systems in Cambodia. The event showcased evidence from participatory research and generated policy recommendations to strengthen investment in agroecological transitions, enhance agricultural services, and ensure inclusive participation of women, youth, and Indigenous communities. Participants emphasized the critical role of farmers as innovators and called for stronger collaboration to integrate agroecology into national strategies.
