Phakhaolao platform is the one that's more important for students who are going to seek for information or references in order for them to do the report.

The Pha Khao Lao Agrobiodiversity Resource Platform aims to consolidate the wealth of written and oral knowledge in the country so it can be readily accessed and used by students, researchers, develop professionals, decision-makers, local communities and the private sector. The platform is meant to be interactive, insightful and useful to those who use it.

The Platform intends to:

Act as a compendium of formal knowledge on product and species information profiles as well as provide expert and policy related information
Inspire students, young agri-peneurs, farming men and women to develop agrobiodiversity related farming and products
Facilitate sharing and learning between different actors and promote changes in how people farm, eat and use agrobiodiversity.

We want Lao people to know about their rich natural heritage, have pride in it and most importantly take action to conserve, manage and profit from this natural wealth.

Use it – don’t lose it!
