The FAO Pilot Project on Establishment of Local Food Production Systems for Rural Communities for Food Security and Better Nutrition in Lao PDR (TCP/LAO/3503) implemented by Village Focus International (VFI) in Viengphoukha district, Luang Namtha province, was recently completed. The project implemented four agricultural interventions – home gardening, chicken raising, food processing and cooking, and income generation and NTFP in the three villages of Nam Far, Nam Mang and Nam Seua. The 1.5-year pilot project made some important headway in testing and developing a practical, sustainable and replicable model for home food production for improvements in families’ nutrition.
