We empower farmers to
make rice green again
Proudly funded by
Rice is the greatest climate and food security challenge in the region
Already a staple crop for more than half of the world’s population, rice will see global demand increase by 50% by 2050.
Rice cultivation is the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in agri-food and is responsible for up to 33% of Southeast Asia’s methane emissions.
Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD)
Periodic drying and re-flooding of rice fields
Reduce water use, increase yield and cut down methan emission up to 1.4t per ha per season
Direct Seeded Rice (DSR)
Direct sowing of rice seeds intro fields, excluding need for soil wetting in nurseries.
Reduce water use, reduce seed cost and cut down methan emission up to 0.3t per ha per season.
Soil bacteria additive
Addition of cable bacteria to increase sulphate levels, thereby reducing methanogens.
Reduce fertilizer use, improve grain quality and cut down methan emission up to 3.3t per ha per season.
Our solution
Our solution will rapidly identify and implement the most effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in rice cultivation, and the right economic incentives to drive the adoption of sustainable cultivation techniques
