Horticulture Innovation Lab: Integrated Horticulture Livestock Systems (Cambodia)

Due to the complexity and interdependent nature of an integrated farming system optimization of production, income, and efficient resource recycling can be difficult. Furthermore, without quantifiable data to support integration practices, proposed strategies may not fully address the multiple needs of smallholder farmers, depending upon their unique situations. Therefore, an applicable framework may aid in Cambodian stakeholder (e.g. famers, researchers, extension agents, policy makers, etc.) understanding and adoption of integrated crop-livestock systems (FAO, 2010). In many countries the costs and benefits of integrated crop-livestock systems have been defined for staple crops (IFAD, 1999). Prior to our research, to our knowledge, Cambodia has not fully established a framework for an integrated horticulture-livestock system. This includes an understanding of the opportunities and challenges (i.e. trade-offs) in effectively integrating these two production systems. The Overall Objectives of this project were: To investigate and evaluate appropriate livestock integration strategies into current horticulture practices within rural and peri-urban settings in Cambodia, and identify trade-offs to: (1) sustainable productive capacity, (2) income generation, and (3) gender and nutrition outcomes due to the integration of livestock within each practice. In order to achieve these overall objectives, Kansas State University—in partnership with the Royal University of Agriculture, the University of Battambang, and ADDA—proposed research activities within four thematic domains: 1. Conservation Agriculture; 2. Horticulture; 3. Livestock; and 4. Food Safety.
