CARDI raises climate change concerns in report
A report from the Cambodia Agriculture Research and Development Institute, a semi-autonomous organisation, showed that 83 per cent of farmers surveyed in Kampong Speu, Kampot and Kampong Cham provinces had noticed the effects of climate change. Farmers in the three provinces emphasised that climate change reduced crop production, deteriorated soil fertility, and had significantly dropped crop yields. Ouk Makara, director of CARDI, explained that the organisation is looking to introduce rice seeds that are more resistant to the effects of climate change.
