Agriculture Progam

Challenge

Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the Cambodian economy, however traditionally most Cambodians only focus on rice cultivation. Some households do have open land at home, but due to lack of knowledge and resources, it is challenging for them to utilize it.

 

Aim

VBCCC is committed to enhancing students' knowledge and proficiency in crop cultivation. They gain insight into the significance of cultivating chemical-free food and learn techniques to rejuvenate infertile soil, transforming it into a productive resource for agriculture.
