A day in the field in Cambodia 🇰🇭, to visit a trial were we compare CH4 and N2O emissions in alternate wet drying and conventional #rice 🌾cropping systems, and another one about #conservationagriculture & #covercrops in rice systems with a special focus on pesticide reduction @jdemenois.bsky.social

Erosion is a big issue in Rwanda 🇷🇼. We visited a trial @canallsproject.bsky.social studying the impact of Fanya juu terraces, combining trenches, mounts and fodder grasses (+Grevillea robusta here) to reduce #erosion in cassava cropping systems, #intercropping with legumes, and manure addition.

Visit of the Embrapa research farm on silvopastoral systems 🌳🐄 . These systems are more & more common in 🇧🇷, they improve animal welfare and milk production, while also providing an additional income to farmers with firewood & timber production. Also good for soils, & for climate change mitigation.
