The Naturex Foundation has reported its involvement in two new projects in Mongolia and Cambodia. The project in Mongolia is headed by Naadam, a French NGO, whose aim is to help the people of Mongolia through training, education and human fulfillment.
The purpose of the programme is to teach the local people gardening techniques in order to provide themselves with basic foods and thereby overcome malnutrition. In order to improve this system, a deep study of the nutritional and economical impacts is necessary. The Foundation is to support the team who is in charge of the study, and the report will lead to the intervention of an expert agronomist. In Cambodia, the Foundation has supported a project called “Agriculture diversification around Siem Reap”, which is conducted by Agrisud. This new project is held in North West Cambodia and its objective is to ensure food supply into this area and to fight poverty, especially for farmer’s families. The first step is to trial new agricultural systems with 40 farmers’ families, and then to extend these innovative systems to 320 farmers.
