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.

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.
