Linking genetic gains to food security outcomes
The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) runs the largest public rice breeding program in the world, playing a crucial role in ensuring global food security. Using a large dataset containing 12,045 yield observations of IRRI elite lines, we estimate the annual genetic gain attributable to IRRI since the release of IR8, the variety that launched the Green Revolution, and the market impacts in Indonesia and the Philippines. Results indicate…
Vitamin A fortification
Vitamin A fortification plays a crucial role in achieving long-term economic development in developing countries by supporting the growth and development of human capital. While fortification programs involve a range of nutritional, agricultural, economic, and political considerations, there is a lack of a comprehensive overview of the topic in the literature. Our review highlights the importance of holistic approach in designing fortification pr…
Consumer preferences and valuation for sustainably produced rice in Ghana
Improving the sustainability of rice, a global food staple with a significant environmental footprint, is of utmost importance, given the growing population and increased depletion of natural resources. The Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) standard is the first globally recognized certification standard for sustainable rice production. SRP comprises 41 requirements structured under 12 indicators and 8 themes, through which farmers can receive SRP …
Preserving cultural heritage through the valorization of Cordillera heirloom rice in the Philippines
For centuries, heirloom rice varieties have been grown on the terraces of the Cordillera Mountains of Luzon, Philippines, terroirs known for their significant historical, cultural, and aesthetic values. However, heritage heirloom rice farming is gradually being abandoned, mainly because of its lower productivity and the struggle of the sector to create a sustainable niche market for heirloom rice by branding its cultural, social, and nutritional …
Climate risk management strategies and food security
Rice intensification in Bangladesh improves economic and environmental welfare
Sustainable agricultural intensification (SAI) practices can help meet current and future food security needs while decreasing environmental impacts. To date, no studies have simultaneously estimated the food security and environmental implications of previously adopted rice intensification regimes. Thus, our study analyzes the food security and environmental impacts associated with two major rice intensification practices in Bangladesh: (1) plan…
