Two Australian agricultural researchers working with farmers in Cambodia on ACIAR projects are featured in ‘Changing Lives’, a new TV series being aired on Australia Network and now available on youtube.
Professor Bob Martin and Stephanie Belfield have travelled to Cambodia for the past eight years on collaborative projects testing ways of increasing and improving crop production.
One of the things Bob and Stephanie have been teaching the Cambodian farmers and their children is the difference between good bugs and bad bugs to help improve pest management.
Along the way they have had a lot of fun producing a kids' book to help get the message across.
