Laser land leveling strongly complements sustainable rice production practices as it can help increase water, seed, and fertilizer use efficiency by at least 12, 27, and 10%, respectively. Already widely adopted in developed countries and recently in India and China, it is still not significantly adopted...
The application of knowledge management (KM) to agri-food systems has been challenged by a lack of clarity in the overall goals for “system” performance, structural disconnects in the transmission of information, and dynamics that intentionally or otherwise dis-incentivise positive changes at different scales. These implementation barriers have hindered the ability of KM to bolster innovation...
“As a technical leader, IRRI needs to promote the contribution of social sciences to ensure farmer perceptions are contributing to prioritizing R&D efforts . India and the rest of Asia need to focus on working better with farmers to promote land aggregation and encourage the adoption of technological advances and mechanization.” ...
The African Continental Free Trade Area agreement is going to be a major trade shock. Our results show that it has the potential to significantly change global sourcing structures and the formation of production networks within Africa. However, achieving the African Union’s continental trade goals will require strategic development of regional food processing and supply chains that capitalize...
Remote sensing based Information and Insurance for Crops in emerging Economies (RIICE) has been applied over main rice production areas; the results demonstrate the system can be used in different ecosystems and can be extended at the national level. The information provided by RIICE has been also used for the implementation of a rice insurance scheme at Bao Viet Company for two provinces of the...
