FAO’s framework brings together ten connected elements, including diversity, recycling, resilience, and the co-creation and sharing of knowledge. It offers a way to discuss a whole farming system.

Connect it with local practice

Use the framework during a learning session to map strengths and questions on a Cambodian farm or cooperative. It is a discussion tool, not a crop-specific prescription.
