What is APW ?


The overall objective of the Agroecological and Safe food System Transitions (ASSET) programme is to make food and agricultural systems in the region more sustainable, safer and inclusive, through harnessing the potential of Agroecology to transform them. It is implemented by GRET as the general coordinator, in a strong articulation with CIRAD in charge of the scientific coordination, in partnership with a consortium of 23 International/European/National Institutions and Organizations and 2 United Nations Agencies.

ASSET will develop and promote a shared vision of Agroecology and Safe Food System Transitions through a comprehensive approach that includes research, networking, policy advocacy, capacity development, awareness raising and communication using ALiSEA1 network. The consortium will engage with governments, civil society, private sector and smallholder farmers to generate and transform knowledge into sustainable innovation processes and transformative policies, sensitive to youth and gender equality.


By fostering technical, organizational and institutional innovations at territorial level in flagship programs, generating robust evidence on their performances and impacts, bringing successful approaches to scale and by building upon regional reliable initiatives and institutions, ASSET will help support opening a dialogue on linking agricultural and markets transformations in policy frameworks at local, national and regional level.

Management

Improvement of research data management and sharing for agricultural monitoring

Support to monitoring

Dashboards and decision support for farmer better experience

Mobile application

Easy data collection on mobile app supported, for research purposes and innovative farming practices

A lot of smallholders have difficulties to produce without pesticides and to get sufficient income to live decently

Scientific improvement in CIRAD can promote and value the local and traditional agricultural practices trying to escape from the competition siphon that implies destruction of soil and biodiversity

CIRAD team is convinced that data management by computing infrastructure sustainably managed could help projects with intention to transit from green revolution practices to a more agro-ecological durability

To support the enormous agricultural population in Cambodia, the example of the Wat4Cam project shows that we can improve the substantial water infrastructure that has been constructed over decades, dedicated to mitigating the impact of flooding and ensuring water availability to more than 3 million hectares of irrigated land across the country
