[SRI project in Nigeria] Scaling Climate-Smart Rice Farming with SRI: Green Pillars and WOFAN Leading the Way
Green Pillars, in partnership with WOFAN, is advancing a transformative initiative to expand the adoption of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) across Nigeria’s leading rice-producing communities.
SRI is a proven, climate-resilient approach that enhances yields, conserves water, and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, while boosting farmer incomes.
This collaborative effort aims to equip thousands of smallholder farmers—particularly women and youth—with the tools and knowledge to become climate-smart entrepreneurs. By integrating SRI into sustainable food systems and carbon credit frameworks, the project supports both environmental stewardship and inclusive economic growth.
Looking ahead, the SRI initiative is more than a farming practice—it is a pathway to resilient livelihoods and sustainable communities. By combining climate-smart innovation with inclusive participation, Green Pillars and WOFAN are shaping a future where Nigerian farmers are not only feeding the nation but also contributing to global climate action.
