BRT Director, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubik, recently traveled to Pursat, Cambodia, to participate in the culmination of the Vermiculture Based Sustainable Organic Innovative Livelihood (V-Soil) Project. This transformative initiative was a collaboration between ADRA Cambodia, the Pursat Provincial Departments of Agriculture and Commerce, and various international partners including the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague.
The closing event, held at the Pursat Provincial Department of Commerce’s meeting hall, was attended by 71 participants, including government officials, agricultural experts, and local stakeholders. The meeting focused on sharing the results of the V-Soil Project and discussing sustainability strategies for the future. Multiple officials expressed their support of the project and stated their commitment to supporting farmers in their goal of a more sustainable future in Cambodia.
Overall, the V-Soil project provided farmers with skills and resources to implement vermiculture-based sustainable practices to boost yields, reduce environmental impact, and inspire future generations. It’s a movement which redefined agriculture while planting seeds for a greener Cambodia!
