Editor's Notes
- The Regional Rice Initiative started as a pilot project of FAO’s new Strategic Objective 2, “Make agriculture, forestry and fisheries more productive and sustainable.” We have supported three focus countries since 2013, namely, Indonesia, Lao PDR and the Philippines.
- What we do is to support rice farmers and producers in applying sustainable rice production practices, such as Save and Grow, to rice ecosystems and landscapes and to help them increase rice production and improve resource use efficiency, and ultimately improve food and nutrition security.
- To do so, we take advantage and make use of the goods and services produced by and available from rice ecosystems and landscapes.
- For example, in rice fields in Asia, we can find more than 100 aquatic organisms that play a significant role in food and nutrition security of local people. You can find not only fish, but also eels, snails, shrimps, frogs, crabs, turtles, and so forth.
- To overcome the weakness, under the Phase II, all the approaches promoted by different components or sub-components are integrated in the overarching Save and Grow paradigm through integrated Farmers Field Schools in order to maximize the impact of synergies of the Initiative. The Regional Rice Initiative also informs policy processes, especially the (re)formulation and implementation of national rice strategies or policies with due consideration to the multiple goods and services provided by rice production systems and landscapes.
