Smallholder rice farmers drawn from green rolling hills of the Southern Highlands of Tanzania are benefiting from a unique farming technique that has enabled them produce more with less seeds, water, and smaller plots of land while applying the Integrated Pest Management (IPM). The technique dubbed System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is an environmentally sustainable farming method […]
