Overview
Join us on January 22nd for IFC’s upcoming webinar, in partnership with FOLUR, as the webinar will focus on the sustainable rice market, exploring how it operates and uncovering financing opportunities to scale sustainable practices.
Rice contributes 12% of global methane emissions, making it one of the most resource-intensive crops. Yet, it remains a vital staple for billions. Sustainable practices have the potential to reduce these emissions by 30% by 2030 —all while enhancing farmer livelihoods. With 3.5 billion people depending on rice daily, sustainable rice production is essential for global food security.
The following reports outline the first steps toward transforming rice production to support global food security and mitigate climate impacts.
