As part of the “Action to support implementation of Codex AMR (ACT)” project, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched the publication “Cambodia in ACTion”. Agriculture and its sectors, such as animal husbandry, aquaculture, cropping and food processing, play a vital role in Cambodia. Many rural households in the country depend on these sectors for their livelihoods. Antibiotics and other antimicrobials are commonly used in humans, animals and plants to treat, prevent and control diseases. However, the extensive and sometimes indiscriminate use of antimicrobials has led to a significant global concern - antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a situation where these drugs stop working or are less effective. Read the publication for more about the ACT project and how it supports the country in working with various stakeholders to address AMR.
The National Gender Profile of Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods Cambodia provides findings of an assessment of men’s and women’s roles, gender division of labour and gender gaps, including women’s needs and constraints in agriculture and rural development sectors in Cambodia. It also presents findings from the assessment of policies and frameworks pertaining to gender equality in agricultural and rural development.

The Environmental and Social Management Framework of the newly proposed project “Public-Social-Partnerships for Ecologically-Sound Agri-culture and Resilient Livelihood in Northern Tonle Sap (PEARL)”, to be funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), has been formulated in close partnership with the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF).
The disclosure of this relevant project information, which is accessible and culturally appropriate, helps stakeholders to effectively participate in project development and implementation stages. It places due attention to the specific needs of community groups which may be affected by project implementation (such as literacy, gender, differences in language or accessibility of technical information or connectivity).

The roadmap aims to support the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and its development partners in their current efforts in social assistance and disaster risk management. It aimed at policy makers, legislative bodies, UN agencies and donors at national and sub-national levels.
This Country Programming Framework (CPF) sets out three country priority areas to guide FAO partnership with and support to the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) – promoting innovative international best practices and global standards through the provision of national, regional and international expertise during five years from 2019 to 2023. The three country priority outcomes include:1) Enhanced agricultural productivity, diversification and commercialization, and safe and nutrition-sensitive food systems for poverty reduction and food and nutrition security; 2) Equitable and sustainable management of natural resources, and increased capacity to monitor and report climate action; and, 3) Reduction of vulnerability, and improved resilience to climate change and shocks at national, community and household level.
This report notes that, despite positive results in the areas of market linkages and intensified production for roots and tubers, it is necessary to unlock access to credit and provide small actors with risk management tools to cope with climate variability affecting production and prices.
The aim of this document is to make policy-relevant suggestions related to the following questions: 1) How can vulnerable fisher-farmers' access to social protection be enhanced; and 2) What potential exists for social protection and fishery-related policies, institutions, mechanisms and programs to mutually reinforce poverty reduction and incentivize conservation and sustainable use of fisheries and related natural resources.
Nutrition-sensitive agriculture is an approach that seeks to ensure the production of a variety of affordable, nutritious, culturally appropriate and safe foods, in adequate quantity and quality, to meet the dietary requirements of populations in a sustainable manner. The recognition that addressing nutrition requires taking action at all stages of the food chain – from production, processing, and retail to consumption – has led to a broader focus which encompasses the entire food system.
The TEN THEMES FOR NUTRITION-SENSITIVE AGRICULTURE IN CAMBOIDA were identified by experts in the fields of agriculture, nutrition and development as critical aspects of nutrition-sensitive agriculture in Cambodia. The themes reflect the common elements of nutrition-sensitive agriculture, drawn from experience over many years and across many agencies. These themes also help us to understand the unifying principals guiding nutrition-sensitive agriculture.
"Future Smart Food: Rediscovering Hidden Treasures of Neglected & Underutilized Species for Zero Hunger in Asia" recommends reinvigorating production, marketing and consumption of Future Smart Food to promote agriculture and diet diversification and enhance food security and nutrition.
FAO considers that neglected and underutilized species (NUS) have a central role to play in the fight against hunger and malnutrition, and that they are currently being overlooked. Today, just 103 out of the nearly 30,000 edible plant species worldwide provide up to 90 percent of the calories in the human diet. NUS are very rich in Asia. To tap the potentials of NUS, FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific has launched a Future Smart Food Initiative, in collaboration with 30 national and international organizations, as part of its Regional Initiative on Zero Hunger.
The purpose of this publication is: i) to demonstrate the multidimensional benefits of Neglected and Underutilized species (NUS) and their potential contribution to achieving Zero Hunger; ii) to identify promising NUS that are nutrition-dense, climate-resilient, economically-viable and locally available or adaptable as FSF; iii) to highlight the challenges and opportunities for harnessing these less-mainstream food crops encounters; and iv) to provide strategic recommendations to create an enabling environment for the promotion, production, marketing and consumption of Future Smart Food, assuring healthy diets for the future.
The Census of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Cambodia 2013 (CAC) is a milestone event for information gathering and dissemination of agricultural information in Cambodia. Despite the importance of the agricultural sector for the economy, no census of agriculture has previously been undertaken. Whilst the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) routinely collected detailed administrative data on agriculture, there had not been a comprehensive exercise to link information on landholders, land holdings, and whole farm production activities. The information provided by the CAC serves as a benchmark for measuring progress in the sector and as a basis for informing policy making relating to agriculture and food security. For this reason, the RGC decided to conduct the first-ever agricultural census in the country to close the information gap and lay the foundations for reliable surveys. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) supported the RGC through a project to prepare and implement a census that was funded by the RGC, Australian Aid, FAO, Sweden, and USAID. Please refer to the website of the National Institute of Statistics (NIS) of the Ministry of Planning for detail or access to accurate information.
