This case study is part of the work conducted by the Agroecological Learning Alliance in South East Asia (ALiSEA), in order to showcase outstanding agroecological initiatives at grass root level across the Mekong region (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam). ALiSEA is an innovative regional initiative supported by Gret, aiming at facilitating and fostering exchanges, learning and cooperation between policy makers, civil society organisations, research institutes, universities and private sector stakeholders about Agroecology. It intends to form a strong coalition of stakeholders at different levels – from farmer organisations up to national and regional research centers, and includes the private sector – that is capable of feeding public policies and advocating the stakeholders for stronger support to the wider dissemination of successful alternative agricultural practices. Its regional secretariat is located in Vientiane, Lao PDR and it is part of a wider program supporting Agroecological Transition in the Mekong Region (ACTAE) funded by the French Agency for Development (AFD).
