• Traditional medicines: Support for conservation in key habitats, community agreements on management and harvesting, processing and equitable markets is needed.
• Fish-rice cultivation: This is an age-old practice in Asia and part of Laos. Increases in fish production can be made via adoption of practices used in other countries in Asia and can be combined with IPM practices in rice.
• Village forestry: Being connected to many NTFPs, village forestry needs support for conservation, management, and marketing of products.
• Mushrooms: Wild mushrooms are lucrative but need support for habitat protection, farmer organization, and marketing.
• FCZ: Fish conservation zones need to be extended, adjacent riparian habitats included and linked to tourism opportunities.
• Wild Tea: The ancient tea trees are now sources of tea expansion that need protection, farmer organization strengthening, and equitable market support.
• Local chicken production: Local varieties of chickens are popular in the market and can be more profitable using a number of improved management
practices.
