This video was produced by SPERI, which is funded by ALiSEA. This small grant aims to support the transition towards more diversified and integrated farming system through applied research and experimental cultivation of native medicinal herbs and edible herbs on the upland farming areas of Kon Tum province, where excessive herbicide use has devastated farming. The support to test and integrate native medicinal herbs and edible herbs in pilot farming areas, equipped with capacity development and sites demonstration, will broaden stakeholders’ skills and knowledge. The grant also seeks to raise stakeholders’ awareness of the value of diversifying crop production, providing short-term incentives to farmers and potentially facilitating local policy changes.
