Mechanized DSR offers multiple benefits that enable early rice harvesting, timely sowing of seeds, and higher yields of succeeding crops such as wheat, chickpea, and mustard. (Photo: ISARC) Developing climate-smart rice production technologies offers a promising strategy to combat climate change, increase rice yields, achieve sustainable agriculture, and help ensure long-term food security. These climate-smart technologies play a crucial role

In a region aced with droughts, land degradation, and irregular rainfall, the TARSPro project has established Climate-Smart Villages (CSV) in five West African countries—Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Chad. These villages serve as collaborative hubs where farmers, researchers, and local institutions work together to test, adapt, and scale up climate-smart agricultural practices. Through a participatory approach, the project enhances

In a climate change scenario, a team of researchers and scholars from SUA, UCPH, IRRI, TARI, and KALRO are working to ensure East and Southern Africa’s food security through spatiotemporal mapping, identifying eligible rice lines, and developing climate-smart rice varieties. “Raining and flooding are not common during this time of the year.”, Dr. Susan Nchimbi Msolla, Professor in Plant Breeding
