ID 25 Sustainable Rice Production: Research Perspectives on Water, Soil and Climate Resilience

Open Access Book

Background

This is a comprehensive book exploring the latest research and innovations in sustainable rice farming. With increasing environmental challenges, this book highlights strategies to enhance soil health, optimize water use, and develop climate-resilient rice varieties. Covering topics such as precision agriculture, integrated nutrient management, organic and biofertilizer applications, and cutting-edge genetic research, this book provides practical and research-backed solutions for sustainable rice cultivation. It delves into key aspects like pest and disease management, mechanization, artificial intelligence in agriculture, and eco-friendly irrigation techniques like alternate wetting and drying (AWD). The book also examines the socio-economic dimensions of sustainable rice farming, including government policies, farmer cooperatives, and market-driven sustainability initiatives. It features case studies from successful rice-growing regions, blending traditional wisdom with modern scientific advancements. Designed for researchers, agronomists, policymakers, and progressive farmers, this book serves as a valuable resource to address the challenges of global rice production in an era of climate change.
