Rising population and changing climate are putting unprecedented pressure on our food systems.

Rice, a staple for billions, is uniquely impacted. With demand projected to surge 30% by 2050 due to rising populations in Asia and Africa, and its cultivation contributing ~10% of global methane emissions, can our most essential food become a major threat to our climate?

As a first step towards the vision of a global Responsible Rice initiative centred on sustainable rice cultivation, String Bio has put together a comprehensive report that explores the complex challenges of rice cultivation, emphasises the urgency of action, and unveils key strategies that can enable a sustainable rice future while retaining farmer welfare in the process.

String Bio is a biotechnology company passionate about sustainable agriculture, and believes rice holds the key to a more secure and resilient future.
