System of Rice Intensification

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) enhances rice yields by 50% or more while significantly reducing seed and water use, alongside lowering production costs and agrochemical dependence. Originating from Madagascar, SRI methods have been validated in multiple countries, demonstrating favorable results in terms of yield and environmental impacts. SRI emphasizes soil and plant management practices that mobilize biological processes rather than increasing external inputs, promoting better agricultural sustainability.
