A consortium of NGOs including Lom Orng and Ockenden
is doing a post-flood livelihood and infrastructure regeneration
project, in the country's northwest, which includes permaculture
principles, and the establishment of a permaculture demonstration farm
in Battambang Province which serves as a community farm and education
site and includes a native tree nursery and biogas system providing clean cooking fuel and lighting.
All the food is sold to locals who come to the farm, Veung said, or is given away to the monks at nearby temples, who are particularly fond of ripe papaya
The banana corms are planted in recessed holes to allow for water collection.
The dragon-fruit-bearing pitaya cacti are propped up on wooden poles capped off with a bicycle tire. Every productive tree is extremely well mulched.
There are a number of citrus fruits on site, many of them grafted onto hardy rootstocks, a compress of soil is used to keep the grafting wound from being attacked by insects.
