6. Sum up and impression of the meeting

As the result, we could share and know much information relating to each other especially we knew about the specific progress of each project. Importantly, all of the participants have learned more about the project relating to Climate Change that was presented by Mr. Vann Sarorn and Mr. Yi Kimthan. Moreover, we understood about the Kyoto protocol as well. For example, 37 industrialized countries in the annex 1.

Additionally, we could note that all of the agricultural innovations introduced by CEDAC are strongly connected to the mitigation and adaptation to climate change, such as the ecological System of Rice Intensification (SRI), System of Intensification and Diversification (SID), integrated home gardening, improved cook stove, small scale irrigation scheme...etc. Particularly, the staff who have provided both internal and external services need record well the number of man/day conducted. Moreover, the rain is starting and farmers started preparing seedbed so that campaign of SRI promotion need to be conducted on time.
