India International Rice Research Institute Full time

Rice fields are a large emitter of methane and adoption of new technologies and policies is necessary to meet national emission reduction targets in Asia. Technologies and policies that reduce the carbon footprint of rice and are linked to market incentives to benefit rural small-holder farmers and sustain the reduction of emissions over the long-term are crucial. Development of new management practices demands further research on their GHG-reduction potential and validation in order for them to be linked to the carbon market and how best to take advantage of it while contributing to the national development and emission goals. Working with various national and international partners in different projects, IRRI develops strategies to increase the level of adoption of climate-smart technologies in rice production. This task needs a concerted approach of an inter-disciplinary team of experts.
