    This paper is a re-make of Chapters 1-3 of the Interim Report World Agriculture: towards 2030/2050 (FAO, 2006). In addition, this new paper includes a Chapter 4 on production factors (land, water, yields, fertilizers). Revised and more recent data have been used as basis for the new projections, as follows: (a) updated historical data from the Food Balance Sheets 1961-2007 as of June 2010; (b) undernourishment estimates from The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2010 (SOFI) and related new p arameters (CVs, minimum daily energy requirements) are used in the projections; (c) new population data and projections from the UN World Population Prospects - Revision of 2008; (d) new GDP data and projections from the World Bank; (e) a new base year of 2005/2007 (the previous edition used the base year 1999/2001); (f) updated estimates of land resources from the new evaluation of the Global Agro-ecological Zones (GAEZ) study of FAO and IIASA. Estimates of land under forest and in protected ar eas from the GAEZ are taken into account and excluded from the estimates of land areas suitable for crop production into which agriculture could expand in the future; (g) updated estimates of existing irrigation, renewable water resources and potentials for irrigation expansion; and (h) changes in the text as required by the new historical data and projections.

    Agriculture is one of Cambodia's main economic drivers and a source of employment for about 42 percent of the population. However, agricultural growth has slowed in recent years due to several factors, including limited land expansion, slower productivity growth, limited diversification, price volatility, low investment in agroprocessing and the impact of natural disasters. Significant opportunities exist in Cambodia to expand and increase production of a variety of commodities that have been identified as having the potential to generate greater profits. In this context of rapid developments in the sector, there is a need for more quality strategic information and analysis in agriculture. Meanwhile, Cambodia is increasingly challenged to balance growing and competing demands for natural resources, including land and water, across sectors (urbanization, industry and agriculture). In this sense, understanding the current state of water and land use in the country is a key step to inform sound policy development, programming, financing and sustainable development and management of land and water resources.
