CEDAC envisions a Cambodian society where small farming households enjoy good living conditions and strong mutual cooperation, with the right and power to determine their own destiny, as well as playing an important role in supplying healthy food for the whole society.
To achieve this vision we are committed to working for the improvement of lives of small farmers and other rural poor by enabling them to increase food production and income while ensuring environmental sustainability and maintaining strong social cooperation.

• Introduce a participatory research and extension strategy called Innovations in Ecological Agriculture and Sustainable Natural Resources Management into approximately 6000 villages in Cambodia (about 50% of total farming villages).
• Introduce a participatory research and extension strategy called Innovations in Ecological Agriculture and Sustainable Natural Resources Management into approximately 6000 villages in Cambodia (about 50% of total farming villages).
• Strengthen and expand village-based self-help associations and networks in 5000 villages, with the participation of 200,000 active members.
• Strengthen the capacity of 100,000 women in farm-household management and enable them to participate in local development through group training and an exchange program.
• Assist 250,000 rural children and youth to prepare for future employment in rural areas, by ensuring these children have access to primary school education, improved knowledge and skills in sustainable agriculture, and business management and leadership training.
• Support the development of participatory and environment-oriented local government in 500 communes by strengthening cooperation and interaction between commune councils and farmer organizations, so that they take collective action to address local development issues.
• Enable 50,000 vulnerable families, especially marginal and landless farmer families, HIV-AIDS affected families and those with disabled members, to better their living standards and self-confidence through acquiring farming skills and knowledge.
• Support local infrastructure development and community-based resource management in 2,000 villages, with a focus on community ponds, small and medium-scale irrigation schemes, and community-based regulations for the protection of natural resources and the environment.
• Support 600 village-based producer groups and networks (about 10,000 farming families) to market their organic products to domestic consumers in urban areas.
• Provide socially-responsible credit services to farmer organizations for investing in the development of ecological agriculture, integration with other agricultural techniques, and business advice support.

Of the above-mentioned major activities, activities 1, 2 and 3 are the key stepping stones for CEDAC's ecological agriculture and community development program. The achievement of objective 1 will enable small farmers to increase food production and income (especially using System of Rice Intensification methods) by effective use of existing resources (please refer to Example 1). Objectives 2 and 3 will organise the rural population so that it can become a force in mobilizing resources for mutual cooperation, assisting other members of the community, and for overall local development. Strong farmer organizations will influence and interact with the government, especially local governments, to take more responsibility for sustainable local economic, social and environmental development.
