INARI: A proposal for financing sustainable land use at scale
Water-saving technologies such as alternate wetting and drying (AWD) provide a way to change practices to improve the livelihoods of many rice farmers and AWD is regarded as one of the more important rice cultivation methods that can dramatically save freshwater irrigation in this century. AWD no...

Alternate wetting and drying in Philippine rice production: feasibility study for a Clean Development Mechanism
Meeting the food demand of a global population expected to reach 9.1 billion in 2050 and over 10 billion by the end of the century will require major changes in agricultural production systems. Improving cropland management is key to increasing crop productivity without further degrading soil and...

A 70% increase in food production is required over the next four decades to feed an ever-increasing population. The inherent difficulties in achieving this unprecedented increase are exacerbated by the yield-depressing consequences of climate change and variations and by the pressures on food sup...
