Would like to have had the speaker talk directly to the camera explaining why, what and how he was demonstrating. What his objectives were. The water pits to hold the water, the rustic level and the fermenting in the piece of bamboo in the field? All would have benefited if the teacher had directly explained the why's and how's to do this. All in all, this video had the potential for some great information all lost on poor presentation. Gave it a like because it did have useful information.
For a more detailed view and explanation of harvesting IMOs (indigenous micro-organisms) in a buried section of bamboo watch part 3 of Permaculture in Cambodia with Rico Zook (see video responses).
This is not really a 'how-to' video but more of a documentary glimpse at permaculture activity in various parts of Cambodia. I agree it would be a great idea to have a good 'how-to' build an A-Frame video - such a simple and useful tool.
The students, almost all of who were local NGO staff, were very engaged and motivated by the whole training course. There was a good balance of classroom and outdoor activities.
In this first part it is a training course for NGO staff, who happen to all be men, but overall there is usually a well balanced mix of students. The local culture is a factor to consider.
Rubber is fine as part of a healthy forest system. However, a big issue in this and other provinces in Cambodia is deforestation, often followed by non-organic monocrop rubber plantations. The forest land is frequently siezed from the local indigenous communities by profit-seeking companies. As a consequence, the forests in Cambodia are diminishing rapidly and these communities are having to adapt to life without jungle and it's many natural resources.
@permascience same sad story in many pristine areas.perhaps these forest communities can organize a sort of collective or smaller rubber patches atleast,to relive the demand pressue as well as earn some cash.but all this may b wishful thinking.
At 3:15 is that guy wearing a Nirvana (band) t-shirt? He's probably a Buddhist, that's funny.

The students don't really look very engaged in the lecture. Why?

Honest question, no critique: Why do you seem to only have male students?

good work.even rubber does beautifully in organic system.trees breakage during mansoon will vanish and spotted pink leaf problem also is not much.
