• Agrarian transition
FAO consultation Nov 2015 2
1) Context (1/2)
Progressive replacement of upland rice-based
shifting cultivation by … by maize or cassava
monocropping with detrimental impacts on natural
resources, ecosystem biodiversity, soil fertility, weeds
control, crop yields, etc.
Forest cover 
Land degradation 
Poverty 
Inequalities 
• Soil erosion and deforestation
FAO consultation Nov 2015

Context (2/2)
The limits of the agro-business model:
 Positive results on production, but unequally distributed,
 More and more dependant on inputs and fossil energy with major negative
impacts on environment, economical and social aspects
Even if it is still the reference, this model is not any more
sustainable (according to the 3 pillars)
 There are needs for alternative approaches and
cropping systems
• Agroecology
AE represents a rupture with the way agriculture
has been seen and analyzed by mainstream
science for over a century, with essentially
artificializing views
• Ecological intensification
• Agroecology and innovative cropping systems
with CANSEA, Conservation Agriculture Network
for South East Asia
FAO consultation Nov 2015 4
2) Research involvement from Cirad and
its partners on:
Designing of CA farming systems through
systemic and holistic approach, accordingly to
local, socio-economical, agropedological
contexts.

From a large choice of alternatives practices:
 Research institutions in partnership with Cirad
decide to agree on common objectives, on common
principles, and on common practices
 CANSEA : Conservation Agriculture Network for
South East Asia
Conservation Agriculture (CA) principles: minimal soil
disturbance, crop associations and rotations, and
adequate organic soil cover.
These farming system aims at increasing agricultural
production and productivity while conserving the
natural resources and enhancing biological interactions
in agroecosystems
FAO consultation Nov 2015
CANSEA
• A research network for the development of Conservation
Agriculture (CA) and Agroecology
• 9 members of the network:
Cambodia: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF)
China: Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences (YAAS)
Indonesia: Indonesian Agency for Agriculture Research & Devlpt (IAARD)
Lao PDR: Department of Agricultural Land management (DALaM)
Thailand: Kasetsart University
Vietnam: Northern Mountainous Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute
(NOMAFSI) and Soils and Fertilizers Research Institute (SFRI)
+ Australia: University of Queensland
Regional coordination by CIRAD.

3) Research activities and orientations
for CANSEA
Research platform in partnership
Conservation Agriculture and Agroecology to
support a regional agroecology transition based
on ecological intensification in South-East Asia
Overall objective:
Co-design and co-assessment of sustainable
management for smallholders’ farming systems
based on agroecology
DP CANSEA  Agroecology and ecological intensification
in South East Asia
FAO consultation Nov 2015

Intervention methods:
o Diagnosis with systemic and holistic approach,
o Multiscale and multidisciplinary approaches
o High diversity of knowledge, with association of
traditional and up to date knowledge
o Participatory cropping systems designing based on
biomass production and recycling

For SEA, there were mainly maize based CA cropping
systems in relation with maize boom
Upland environment  § 4, Vietnam (NOMAFSI)
FAO consultation Nov 2015
15
Many cropping systems based on rotation and succession
with Maize, Stylosanthes, Brachiaria, rainfed rice, vigna,
cassava, … have been tested.
Among them, the most efficient widely adopted by
farmers was:
• Maize + Vigna / Vigna // Maize + Vigna / Vigna
 Maize upto 8 t/ha,
and rice bean (vigna)
2t/ha
§ 1, 2 & 4 environments: in Cambodia (CASC –GDA)
16
Various cropping systems have been evaluated:
• Two years rotation :
maize + Stylosanthes guianensis // soybean + sorghum + S. guianensis,
maize + S. guianensis // upland rice + S. guianensis,
• Three-year rotation: early maize + E. coracana + C. juncea / dry season
cassava // Cassava // maize + S. guianensis
maize + S. guianensis 7.35 ± 0.62 6.71 ± 1.19
soybean + sorghum + S. guianensis 5.02 ± 0.95
maize + S. guianensis 6.88 ± 1.32 8.26 ± 0.44
7.48 ± 0.98 8.00 ± 0.44
upland rice + S. guianensis 4.58 ± 0.51
maize + S. guianensis 3.97 ± 1.15 6.95 ± 0.81
upland rice + S. guianensis 9.58 ± 0.71

  • 2. • Agrarian transition FAO consultation Nov 2015 2 1) Context (1/2) Progressive replacement of upland rice-based shifting cultivation by … by maize or cassava monocropping with detrimental impacts on natural resources, ecosystem biodiversity, soil fertility, weeds control, crop yields, etc. Forest cover  Land degradation  Poverty  Inequalities 
  • 3. • Soil erosion and deforestation FAO consultation Nov 2015 3 Context (2/2) The limits of the agro-business model:  Positive results on production, but unequally distributed,  More and more dependant on inputs and fossil energy with major negative impacts on environment, economical and social aspects Even if it is still the reference, this model is not any more sustainable (according to the 3 pillars)  There are needs for alternative approaches and cropping systems
  • 4. • Agroecology AE represents a rupture with the way agriculture has been seen and analyzed by mainstream science for over a century, with essentially artificializing views • Ecological intensification • Agroecology and innovative cropping systems with CANSEA, Conservation Agriculture Network for South East Asia FAO consultation Nov 2015 4 2) Research involvement from Cirad and its partners on:
  • 5. Designing of CA farming systems through systemic and holistic approach, accordingly to local, socio-economical, agropedological contexts. Agroecological approach Scientific approach Social Movement Agricultural practices Ecology science applied to the study, design and management of sustainable agroecosystems Support to smallholder farming aimed to food sovereignty as opposed to industrial agriculture Practices mimicking natural processes and harnessing biological interactions in agroecosystems  … FAO consultation Nov 2015
  • 6. FAO consultation Nov 2015 6 What do we mean by ecological intensification ? Diversification Complex systems Simplification Degradation Driven process Natural processes Natural Ecosystems Traditional Systems without input Agroecological systems & Ecological processes High inputs conventional systems Adapted from M. Griffon 2013
  • 7. From a large choice of alternatives practices:  Research institutions in partnership with Cirad decide to agree on common objectives, on common principles, and on common practices  CANSEA : Conservation Agriculture Network for South East Asia Conservation Agriculture (CA) principles: minimal soil disturbance, crop associations and rotations, and adequate organic soil cover. These farming system aims at increasing agricultural production and productivity while conserving the natural resources and enhancing biological interactions in agroecosystems FAO consultation Nov 2015
  • 8. CANSEA • A research network for the development of Conservation Agriculture (CA) and Agroecology • 9 members of the network: Cambodia: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) China: Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences (YAAS) Indonesia: Indonesian Agency for Agriculture Research & Devlpt (IAARD) Lao PDR: Department of Agricultural Land management (DALaM) Thailand: Kasetsart University Vietnam: Northern Mountainous Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute (NOMAFSI) and Soils and Fertilizers Research Institute (SFRI) + Australia: University of Queensland Regional coordination by CIRAD. FAO consultation Nov 2015 8
