The issues that drive our work

Rice cultivation lies at the center of some of the most urgent challenges of our time. It is both a contributor and a casualty of climate change, resource depletion, and rural inequality. Yet, rice farming also holds the key to powerful climate solutions.

Carbon Smart Rice collaborates with farmers, researchers, and industry partners to address these critical challenges—reducing emissions, improving soil health, and transforming rice production into a driver of sustainability. Together, we work to accelerate the transition toward low-carbon, climate-resilient, and equitable rice systems for the benefit of both people and the planet
