commune  authorities  and  local  farmers  would  gain  more  experiences  in  conducting  organic  agriculture  for  adapting  to  climate  change  within  their  commune.  The  community  would  have  more  understanding  on  its  impacts  on  their  livelihoods  and  seek  more  prevention  and  adaptive  options  to  help  them  reduce  the  vulnerabilities  by  drought  and  flood. 4.  Dissemination  of  Lessons  Learnt  from  the  Project Lessons  learnt  from  the  project  were  disseminated  through  various  chanels  including news  letters  on  “Sustainable  Agriculture”  which  was  published  once  a  year  from  2013  to  2016,  pamphlets  and  handouts  related  to  organic  agriculture  and  sustainable  farming  practices  were  also  produced  and  disseminated  in  the  project  area  and  nearby  communes  from 2012  to  2016. There  were  annual  project  evaluation  meetings  held  once  or  twice  a  year  both  in  Japan  and  in  Cambodia.  The  participants  in  projects  evaluation  meeting  learnt  the  progress  of  the  project  and  gave  comments  and  suggestions  for  project  improvement. Moreover,  the  farmers  who  actively  participated  in  the  project  were  able  to  be  trainers  for  farmers  from  other  province.  On  2014  and  2015,  farmers  from  Snoul  Commune, Kratie  province  visited  Samroung  Commune  to learn  organic  farming  practices  and  climate  change  adaptation  to  practice  in  their  farms. IV.  CONCLUSIONS  AND  RECOMMENDATIONS Community  Based  Adaptation  (CBA)  to  Climate  Change  through  organic  agriculture  is  a  very  useful  approach  to  reduce  greenhouse gas  emission.  The  approach  also  addresses  Sustainable  Development  Goals  target  2.4  in  term  of  ensuring  sustainable  food  production  systems  that  strengthen  the  capacity  of  small  scale  farmers  for  adaptation  to  climate  change.  The  project  has  built  the  capacity  of  farmers  through  a  series  of  workshops  and  technical  Fig.6  Observing  organic  farming  practice  on  October  2012,  Thailand Fig.7  Observing  organic  farming  practice  on  June  2013,  Japan Fig.8  Observing  bio-fertilizer  making  on  December  2014,  Thailand 318 Proceedings  of  the  International  Conference  on  Climate  Change,  Biodiversity  and  Ecosystem  Services  for  the Sustainable  Development  Goals  (SDGs):  Policy  and  Practice  27-29  June  2016,  Cha-am,  Phetchaburi,  Thailand
