The Center of Excellence on Sustainable Agricultural Intensification and Nutrition (CE SAIN)

The Center of Excellence on Sustainable Agricultural Intensification and Nutrition (CE SAIN) was founded by the Royal University of Agriculture (RUA), the leading agricultural university in Cambodia, in partnership with Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab at Kansas State University. CE SAIN aims to foster private sector innovation, agricultural research, education and training, and public-sector capacity building through improved collaboration and knowledge sharing focusing on enhancing food and nutritional security in Cambodia. We also join the efforts to improve quality of education, research and extension services at RUA. Our target locations are Phnom Penh, Kandal, Prey Veng, Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom, Siem Reap, Battambang and Pursat. To fulfil our goal, CE SAIN partners with several national and international entities (public and private sector and NGOs) to implement our activities through various funding sources including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Feed the Future Innovation Labs, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), American Soybean Association (ASA), United Service Foundation (USF) and Epsilon Sigma Phi (ESP).
