Fig.9 Farmers’ compost boxes at Samroung Commune Fig.10 Organic agricultural practices in Samroung Commune training including organic agricultural practices, raising climate change awareness, and producing organic agricultural products such as bio- pesticide, bio-fertilizer and so on. As a result, farmers could sustain their livelihoods and generate more income through farming activities. In order to create an enabling environment for climate change adaptation, it is important to firstly create the communities determination, and secondly create integrated participatory approach to foster adaptation processes. Therefore, enhancing the participatory integrated approach in project design and implementation is essential to achieve sustainable community based adaptation in the long term. Table 1 Workshop for sustainable agriculture based on cyclic use of natural resources The farmers in the targeted villages have changed their agricultural practices from using a huge amount of agro-chemicals to organic farming and the change in agricultural practices has been also replicated to the other villages, so the emission of greenhouse gas from agricultural farming should be reduced in the area. Furthermore, the flexibility to cope with climate change is advanced. This leads to higher economic and environmental stability with more ecological balance. Aside from being resilience to climate change, the farmers who undertake to increase soil organic carbon by applying compost could achieve far greater success in CO2 sequestration under suitable management.
