Across Cambodia's Tonle Sap region, women farmers are proving that climate resilience begins with knowledge, innovation, and access to the right resources.
Through the Promoting Climate-Resilient Livelihoods in Rice-based Communities in the Tonle Sap Region (PCRL) project, farmers are adopting certified climate-resilient rice varieties and improved farming practices that help increase yields, reduce production costs, and strengthen food security in the face of a changing climate.
Beyond the fields, women are becoming leaders in their communities—sharing knowledge, supporting sustainable agriculture, and creating new opportunities for future generations.
Implemented by FAO in partnership with the General Directorate of Agriculture and the General Directorate of Local Communities, and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the PCRL project is helping rice-growing communities build resilience while promoting sustainable livelihoods and environmental stewardship.
