Unused agriculture land during dry season in Cambodia is frequent. Soil is made to be alive, to be productive. Empty dry areas as shown in the picture however is frequent in many Asian countries with an old and may be rusty rice culture.
The traditional culture of rice farming and rice eating limits the productivity and thus also the potential revenue of farmers. Here in Cambodia during dry season much of the country's agriculture land is dry and empty.
As shown in the previous pictures, there are alternatives with high productivity and low work needed to turn all land into a year round living resource of valuable food. Corn, vegetables, herbs or fruits are but a few additional possibilities within the limits of climate and water available. No additional investment is needed to turn this dry and empty land into a 2 season year round farm land of much higher productivity. The only change needed is in the head of consumers shifting from rice only priority to a more versatile and also healthier food variety. In addition of course also the farmers need some rethinking of the hundreds of years old farming habits. A little learning may be with support from outside help or government support could turn such dry land into a year round fertile green source of revenue and food for an entire nation and thus also improve the livelihood of farmers in Cambodia.
