Cambodia – What Oxfam is doing
75 per cent of Cambodians depend on the land to make a living and feed their families. But since the Land Law in 2001, their right to land has been put under intense pressure. As local farmer Roeung Ran says, “Farming and growing vegetables are things I do best and that’s the main source of income for my family.” At Oxfam we’re working hard to secure access to land. We’re promoting special farming techniques that help cut costs and maximise crop yields. And we’re providing agricultural training that enables farmers to think longer-term about the security of their livelihoods.
