The document summarizes efforts to promote the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) technique in Uttarakhand, India to improve food security and livelihoods. Initial trials in 2006-2007 showed SRI yields were 83% higher than conventional methods. From 2008, training was provided to over 11,000 farmers and the area under SRI cultivation expanded to over 180 hectares. Evaluation found SRI yields were on average 65% higher with lower costs. Efforts are ongoing to further promote SRI adoption through policy changes, research, and farmer support.
