“Investment for Whom and for What?” Event in Manila, Philippines
SEDA’s founder/director had the unique opportunity to give a presentation on climate change entitled “Building Resilience Against Vulnerability” during an event at the Food Security Forum in the Philippines. Ms. QuachAngkham highlighted the vulnerability of sensitive populations of people in a changing climate. Her presentation included the detrimental effect of chemical agriculture on soil and ways to help communities build resistance. Her presentation was followed up with group workshops to discuss the problems presented. This event was a great opportunity to further SEDA’s mission of disseminating information about issues facing the poorest people of Laos. For more on the day’s activities, please follow this link:
