ACP-ACTAE project (2017-2018. Agroecological crop protection inSEA
The ACP-ACTAE project was carried out between 2017 and 2018 in South East Asia. The overall goal of the ACP project was, by starting and promoting activities in a new field of Agroecology, to contribute to the global development of Agroecology in SEA. This ACP-ACTAE project was funded by AFD (Agence Française de Développement) within the ACTAE regional project ("Towards Agroecology Transition in the Mekong Region"). Agroecology, as a scientific discipline, a social movement and a set of agricultural practices, is promoted around the world, in Asia and particularly in SEA. ACP is the declension of Agroecology to Crop Protection and it is at the crossroad of Agroecology and Crop. It aims at “replacing” chemicals, which have negative effects on the environment and on human health, by the services offered by functional biodiversity above and below soil. ACP is based on two axis: i) enhance biodiversity (vegetal/animal) and ii) soil health. It is therefore very consistent and complementary to Conservation Agriculture, devoted to agroecosystem soil management. The main results obtained in this ACP-ACTAE project are the followings : Implementation of brochures, flyers and posters on Agroecological Crop Protection in SEA; Producing augmentoriums in Vietnam for Agroecological Management of Fruit Flies; Organization of three national and regional workshops (Vietnam and Myanmar, April-May-August 2017); Participation of a colleague from Vietnam to the International Scientist School held in Volterra (Italy), 11-16 February 2018; Organization of ACP International Scientist School (Can Tho, Vietnam, 11-16 March 2018); Scientific visit of two Vietnamese colleagues in CIRAD Réunion (3-27 June 2018); Identifying future collaborations in SEA; Participation of six SEA colleagues to the ACTAE final conference held in Siem Reap (Cambodia), 8-11 November 2018; Movies (ISS Can Tho, Twin ISS, Weaver ants); Creation of a YouTube channel: Agroecological Crop Protection Network; Web Page for ACP-ACTAE resources: www.agriculture-biodiversite-oi.org/en/ACP-ACTAE.
