What had been done:

Research: on bio-fertilizer from animal manure, earth warm, SRI technique (application in poor soil) with public in the NUOL and Faculty journal.
Extension: promote the Good Agriculture Practice (GAP) in Dounien village (still active activity), in Nakeo village, ongoing activity (Thoulakome district), campainge on eco-health (complete activity by FA-but we asked the school teachers to continue and use game guideline book to train other young teachers for continuing) in 11 villages of Houychiem community, Xaythany district, and by the end we provided the guidebook of the game and ask teacher to use and play it with students as part of weekly or monthly activity or just playing. Training-on agriculture and bio-fertilizer technical, coaching, experience-sharing among farmers or farms; Posters, handouts and technical book are provided to farmers and DAFO staff.
Curriculums: Clean Agriculture production (OA, GAP) is a subject of the majority in plant protection science, while the Agro-ecology subject (including CA techniques) is a subject in all curriculums due to it is the initial of the other production systems (integrated farming system, OA) , and in the sustainable agriculture management master course.
On-going and future action: develop more technical guidebook that reaches to the farmers need with the use of research result and experiences in previous extension activities, which not too much theory. Then to deliver in the assemblers during the meeting, to farmers and PAFO/DAFO staff (when they involved in the FA activities or requested). Develop posters of each technical book topic for the trainers after TOT training from FA.
Develop the face book page and FA website to bring all people into the agriculture techniques (November-2017), sources (December-2017), and services (2018) from FA,

What are difficulties:

Still insufficient use of the researh result in the filed impplementation by relevant stakeholders due limitation on publication (recently sciecne journal [Lao] can only diliver to the univerisities, Ministries, Dapartments, Centers, PAFO, DAFO, Agricultural collages, Policy makers with in hard copies) .
Time consuming on developing the manual technical books that collect from the field experiments and practices (not a theory one) due to limitation of budget for such trials

What are their ideas to progress:

The Faculty are now developing the faculty website with is going to put all information on the curliculums, technical books (agriculture, livestock, vterinary, fisheries, food processing, agri-business planing).
Developing the facebook page aim to give an apportunities for farmers, enterprineurs, interested organization or person to have discuss and consultation from the faculty' specilist on interesting topics as mentioned above and toward on providing service at the filed levlel.
7 topics of technical books, will be printed and put on website in November 2017.
Continuing develop the technical book, brocures, and posters that will be put on the website and facebook of the faculty
