The “Scaling NextGen Rice” Impact Program aims at scaling up adoption of new production methods across countries. The program will connect rice-producing countries across East Asia, the Pacific, and South Asia to take innovations and sustainable practices to scale.
Representatives from Ministries of Agriculture, Water, specialized agencies, private sector organizations, farmers’ alliances and technical experts will work together to:
- Develop plans to take resilient rice production to scale within their country, based on their unique needs;
- Exchange lessons from their national experience across a range of issues critical to scaling, such as research and extension, technology, policy, and markets to accelerate the pace of scaling across all countries.
- Identify, together with a host of stakeholders operating in the field, models for transforming the rice industry at every level.
