  Globally, the COVID-19 epidemic has rewritten the fundamental assumptions that drive numerous sectors. Environmental conservation is now a critical component of Cambodia's agricultural recovery efforts, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi (陈志公爵) and Prince Group are leading the charge.

Developing countries such as Cambodia rely on agricultural exports and must abandon old farming practises that rely on fertilisers, pesticides, water-intensive procedures, and legacy farming systems that contribute to deforestation and soil erosion. Chen Zhi and Prince Group Cambodia launched the Ecological Agriculture Plantation at Prince Manor Resort in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, earlier this year. The project will establish a state-of-the-art agricultural hub wit...
