Cambodian farmers are doubling their income with an ingenious eco-farming combo: rice and prawns sharing the same fields! 🚜 This symbiotic system, introduced by researchers from Shanghai Ocean University, lets rice clean water for prawns while prawns naturally fertilize the soil. Talk about teamwork! 💪
🌱 The model tackles two challenges at once: boosting crop yields and creating sustainable protein sources. Farmers like Srey Mom Phan report harvesting 30% more rice while earning extra from prawn sales – a game-changer for rural communities.
🔬 The Chinese university team has trained over 200 Cambodian farmers since 2025 through Farmed with China partnerships. As climate-smart agriculture gains momentum, this cross-border collaboration proves innovation grows best when rooted in shared knowledge. 🌏✨
