This report examines organizational innovations designed to tackle Cambodia’s local food deficits and high vegetable import dependency, particularly in Siem Reap. It highlights the Apici project, which empowers smallholders by transitioning them to sustainable agroecological practices. By structuring local farmer groups and establishing the Ecofarm agricultural cooperative, the initiative ensures a reliable supply of safe, quality produce. Additionally, the implementation of a low-cost Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) builds consumer trust and allows small farmers to secure higher market prices, ultimately improving local food security and rural livelihoods.
