Environmental Impact Measures in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia (2019)

This document presents the methodology and environmental impact indicators developed for the Agro-ecological Intensification and Diversification of Peri-urban Agriculture (IADA) project in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The project establishes a diagnostic framework spanning from the territorial level to individual farm plots in order to develop a set of indicators for evaluating the performance of agricultural practices, including the Field Treatment Frequency Index (FTI), Water Use Efficiency (WUE), and biodiversity levels. Although the approach faces challenges related to the accuracy of self-reported data and the considerable time required for data collection, it provides essential tools for comparing and improving sustainable farming practices. By doing so, the indicator system enables Agrisud and its partners to build a scientific evidence base that supports more effective natural resource management and the protection of local ecosystems.
