Land use plan and village development plans are developed with the Village Land Management Committee with the support of the district staff and the project and then agreed/adjusted by the whole village,
Action plans and schedule agreed by the whole community are implemented collectively with clear indicators of success/failure developed together before implementation,
Different divisions of DAFO and DONRE, all project working in the district can be mobilized to support villagers activities through project coordination.
WP1 promotes the territorial dimension of village development based on agroecological principles WP2 engages the whole community (up to district level) in testing – adapting – adopting innovative practices Province
WP3 engages all stakeholders, including other projects active in the target districts, in creating an enabling environment to innovation dissemination District

3 phases for each WP: Diagnosis / Action / Monitoring

‐> comparison of intervention and control villages, ‐> monitoring changes in time in the intervention village (e.g. knowledge, behaviors),
prioritization of development issues and options for integrated development,
upon by all parties,
‐> action plan clearly defined, ‐> respective role of villagers and project, milestones, implementation indicators ‐> empowerment of the village land management committee
market demand and local contexts,
stakeholders including farmers’ groups, district officers, private sector, etc.) ‐> A range of innovative agricultural systems tested on‐farm, ‐> Training and support from district and project staff, ‐> Field days, cross‐visits, model farmers and village

supervision of a strong Village Land Management Committee
Ex: Mayphonxay village, Botene district, Sayabouri Province Cattle free grazing after maize harvest was a strong constraint for the cultivation of rice bean as relay crop to maize. After all villagers agreed to postpone cattle return into maize plot until rice bean harvest, the surface of maize associated with rice bean increased rapidly, with up to 90% of farmers practicing this system that show positive impact on soil quality, maize yields and agricultural income preservation…
more labor inputs, .
Ploughing and herbicide use allow to reduce labour for maize cropping as well as to expand maize cultivated area. However, it has strong impact on soil and water resources degradation and jeopardize upland agriculture sustainability.
VS.
Crop residue maintenance on soil surface increases labour requirements for maize sowing but preserve soil quality and insure long‐term profits
roaming around in the village
Animal free roaming ‐ Extensive system, low labour But: ‐ High mortality and losses rates ‐ Negative impact on crops
VS.
Animal raising in stall ‐ More intensive system, more labour But: ‐ Lower animal mortality ‐ Higher animal growth ‐ No impact on crop yields ‐ Better valorization of animal dejections
development project but partnership with development projects)
Land Use Planned activities Suggested support Permanent crop Want to fence permanent crop area with barbwires. Agrisud will provide barbwires for collective fields of improved pastures for feeding the livestock. Rotational crop Want to plant new crops to feed animals or improve the soil. Are not interested in improved fallows . Agrisud will provide seeds and training for stylosanthes. Plantation Wish to plant coffee and castor beans and increase teak plantations. Want support from DAFO or projects but want that a part of the harvest be paid in advance. Improve pasture Want to create an improved pasture area. ADB Livestock Project to provide seeds Paddy Improved irrigation for the existing paddy area; Build new paddy areas up to 9.6 ha. Need support for irrigation system and for digging with machines from DAFO or projects. Garden Would like to increase and improve home gardening. Agrisud will provide training about technical and will give seeds to interested families.
