A Community Guide to Land Concessions

This guide is made for Cambodian communities who are affected by ELCs (Economic Land Concessions), or are likely to be affected in the future. It is divided into three parts: ELCs and Communities, ELCs and the Law, and Taking Action. Part One covers the basics of what industrial agriculture and ELCs are, the potential benefits and risks, and the process of Environmental Impact Assessment and public participation. In the Part 2 we discuss the main laws that apply to ELCs in Cambodia, and in Part 3 we look at what communities can do if they are affected by an ELC project.
