    Securing a better future for his children is what inspires La Xayyavieng to work hard and continue to find ways to earn a stable income from the land.

    “With all the effort I put in, I only ever got low output. If I put in less effort, I got even lower yields.” This is the statement expressed by Khammoun Heuangsouvantha prior to joining the Climate REAL project. His remark and rice output changed significantly after a year of engagement with the projecct.Hopes are high for the rice farming communities of Attapeu Province. Khammoun personally believes that there is no end to the learning and enrichment and that local farmers can benefit from continued support. It is hoped that in the next 5 to 10 years, villagers will be able to produce enough rice not only for their own families but also for sale. The potential to start a small agribusiness and gradually improve living conditions would be within reach.This is the life transforming story through the support from the Climate REAL project.

    The Sowing Diversity = Harvesting Security (SD=HS) programme is a multicountry initiative, led by Oxfam Novib and other partners, aimed at improving the food and nutrition security of smallholder farmers and indigenous peoples. Through the Farmer Field Schools approach, the programme empowers producers, particularly women and indigenous communities to access, develop, and use plant genetic resources by introducing two complementary curricula: Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB) and Local Food Plants (LFP) for nutrition, thereby strengthening their capacity to adapt to climate change. The PPB curriculum enables farmers to define breeding priorities, collaborate with National Research Systems (NARS), and develop locally adapted, climate-resilient varieties using methodologies like participatory variety selection (PVS) or enhancement (PVE), and participatory variety development (PVD). The LFP curriculum tackles undernutrition with the domestication and market of neglected and underutilized species (NUS) through a mix of traditional and scientific knowledge, cooking techniques, and community engagement.
