About the SRP-Verified Label

Rethinking rice

Rice feeds the world. Over 3.5 billion people eat it as part of their regular diet. Yet the way we’ve been producing rice is not sustainable.

Rice uses ⅓ of the world’s freshwater.

Rice production is responsible for 10% of man-made methane emissions worldwide.

144 million smallholder farmers bear a majority of the rice production risks.

Why rice needs a redo

What is the Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP)?

SRP is an international multi-stakeholder alliance that is transforming the global rice industry to be more equitable, stable, and sustainable. We work in several ways to take action for sustainable rice and have created a system of tools to help drive our cause. Our tools contain a blueprint for sustainable farming techniques, plus a system that links markets with farmers using sustainable methods. This gives you access to verified, sustainably produced rice.
