Overview of workshop

The project includes four components namely rice production system-SRI; renewable energy-RE; inclusive business and value chain (IB&VC) development for the poor; capacity building and awareness raising activities.

The project's objectives are to reduce GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions through the application of SRI to small scale rice production systems; to generate renewable energy from rice residues of husk and straw to reduce environmental waste and contamination; to develop market linkages and create "green rice" market opportunities for rice produced by SRI production system which will increase farmer incomes; to build capacity of provincial level stakeholder to implement projects to address the issue of CC and agriculture mitigation and to create a knowledge platform to raise awareness and widely share lessons learnt from the project.
