Agricultural soil degradation and rising climate risks in Cambodia are placing growing pressure on rural livelihoods, food security, and farm productivity. Declining soil fertility, more frequent extreme weather events, and unsustainable land use practices continue to increase vulnerability among smallholder farmers, while . agriculture Agriculture also presents one of the most cost-effective opportunities for climate adaptation and mitigation through regenerative practices that improve soil health, strengthen resilience, and reduce emissions while sustaining productivity. Despite these benefits, many farmers struggle the transition remains challenging, as many farmersthey face overcome the financial barriers, in the early stages when investments upfront are needed before benefits are fully realizedrealising the return. Transition finance plays a critical role in closing this gap through targeted incentives and risk-sharing mechanisms that reduce uncertainty and support adoption of climate-smart and regenerative practices. This approach has been introduced in phases aligned with priority commodities, beginning with the DeiMeas research pilot from 2022 to 2025, which explored ecological and social benefits, monetization monetisation pathways, and behavioral shifts toward low-carbon and regenerative rice production. Building on these lessons, and in alignment with government priorities for key agricultural commodities, the model is expanding to the cashew sector from 2025 to 2028 through the Regenerative Cashew initiative, aiming to scale regenerative practices across the value chain while improving farmer incomes and strengthening long-term resilience and productivity.
