Environment-Friendly Direct Seeding Rice Technology to Foster Sustainable Rice Production

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Scaling-up Solutions for Farmers

Abstract

Rice, a staple food for majority of the world’s population consumes about 50% of fresh water in Asia. Demand for food is likely to increase by as much as 60% between 2010 and 2050 in many developing countries. Future food production will be limited by availability of land, water, labor and energy. Agricultural transformation, as a cornerstone of the new sustainable development agenda, must therefore be an eco-efficient revolution in the next few decades. The direct seeded rice (DSR) technology has potential to effectively address the problem of labor-water scarcity and is emerging as an environment-friendly system due to higher water productivity, and lower global warming potential. Keeping this in mind, the chapter discusses the importance of rice, emerging climate-and workforce-related challenges, introduction of climate-smart agricultural practices, transformation of rice-based food systems, constraints and policy issues in adoption of DSR and national-level initiative to scale-up the adoption of DSR.
