WHO WE ARE ?
YAC24 is the result of 3 organizations teaming up together: Vivre De Sa Terre (VDST), Bayon Education and Development (BED), and Sustainable Soil for Life Association (SSLA). This partnership allows them to combine their individual strengths for a common goal: promoting agroecology in Cambodia. VDST brings their experience in farmer-to-farmer approaches and research, BED contributes with their educational programs in agroecology, and SSLA offers expertise in farmer development and market linkages. They are all members of the ALiSEA network, a regional platform for agroecology collaboration. By working together under the umbrella of ALiSEA, they can share knowledge, conduct impactful research, and ultimately contribute to a wider shift towards sustainable agriculture in Cambodia.
ALiSEA is a regional platform that enables local and regional agroecology stakeholders to leverage their knowledge and develop evidence-based studies that can be widely disseminated in order to assist a regional shift toward agroecology.
Sustainable Soil for Life Association (SSLA) is a Cambodian Association that works with poor vulnerable Cambodian people, youth, and communities in rural areas to bring about economic, social and environmental change towards sustainability. SSLA has become a leading Cambodian NGO in the areas of enabling farmer’s agroecology and food system in rural areas, strengthening farmer’s ownership in local community action for local, solidarity and circular economic dynamics and the fight against dependency, manipulated commodity markets, unfair subsidies, inherent food insecurity, and unjust social and inequitable free-market economies.
