Intervention Strategy 1 – Low-Emission Rice Production Technology: The project will train farmers in how to implement mitigation technologies and sustainable best practices in rice production, as well as encourage them to switch practices based on the establishment of a Revolving Fund to cover start-up costs for mitigation service provision. This will generate more income by applying appropriate technologies and effective management for agricultural inputs (saving water used and energy for pumping water, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.), and facilitating sale of low-emission rice to the growing market for sustainable rice.

Intervention Strategy 2 – Mitigation Technology Services: Support business development by leveraging a national green credit programme for capital investment to provide mitigation technology services to farmers such as laser land levelling, alternate wetting and drying, site-specific nutrient management, and straw/stubble management.

Intervention Strategy 3 – Policy Formulation & Supporting Measures: Support project implementation, develop a model and expansion strategy, develop a Sustainable Rice Practice standard based on the Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) Standard, and integrate the project into the Thai government’s workplan, projects and budget at all levels.
