SRP and Fertilizer Efficiency in Sustainable Rice Production (Members-only)
October 16, 2024
- Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm ICT, GMT+7
- Duration: 1 hour
- Venue: MS Teams webinar (online)
Background:
Since the Paris Agreement and the ‘Methane Moment’ at COP26, agriculture—particularly the rice sector—has gained increasing attention in global climate change discussions. Reducing methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from rice cultivation is now a key focus of projects aligned with the SDGs, climate action, and sustainable food systems.
Optimizing fertilizer use efficiency has never been more critical. It not only improves economic outcomes for farmers but also plays a pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and driving sustainability.
What you will learn:
This joint webinar will provide valuable insights into:
- SRP and its Standard for Sustainable Rice Cultivation, the world’s first voluntary sustainability standard for rice, aimed at optimizing nutrient use efficiency and reducing GHG emissions.
- Key SRP Performance Indicators, which include productivity metrics, water quality, nutrient use efficiency, biodiversity, GHG emissions, and food safety.
- Practical insights from a real-world case study presented by an SRP member.
