Two weeks ago, a camera team of Planet-E, a docu show in @ZDF visited me. They recorded and interviewed me for a story about rice 🍚. Exciting 🤗

[Björn Ole Sander @BOleSander]

The #ThaiRiceNAMA project is nearing completion. Today, the evaluator present their preliminary findings at the 🇹🇭 Rice Department. GHG mitigation target achieved 🎯 resilience of farmers increased and lessons learned in terms of incentives for technology outscaling 🤓

[CGIAR @CGIAR]

🌾New evidence from Nigeria highlights the need for rice farmers to be knowledgeable about greenhouse gas mitigation strategies.

Applying these strategies is key to sustainable growth, food security & combating climate change.

Looking at agricultural production and #GHG data from 🇰🇭, 🇵🇭, 🇹🇭 and 🇻🇳 within the @ASEAN-@CGIAR 'Innovate for Food' Program. This is a good start for planning different GHG mitigation interventions in the four countries.

The extension division of the Thai Rice Department featuring Land Laser Leveling in their exhibition for the 18th anniversary.

The Rice Science Division also shows lots of interesting innovations, like rice ice cream from purple rice, the AllRice App or rice-buckwheat rotation.

[Björn Ole Sander @BOleSander]

Met rice farmers from Tak province in northern Thailand. The farmers are proud of their local upland rice varieties which yield lower than modern ones but taste better according to them 🌾

[Björn Ole Sander @BOleSander]

Presenting our dearest congratulations from @irri to the Thai Rice Department on the occasion of their 18th anniversary 🇹🇭 🌾

[Björn Ole Sander @BOleSander]

We should also look at some positive news and recognise that some of our approaches work very well. We have to preserve what's effective and adjust where needed.

Evolution, not revolution! (thanks, @TJKrupnik, for that 😉)
