Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in Rice, developed by IRRI and global partners, is a knowledge platform designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in rice cultivation. It facilitates the development of national strategies and Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems and was initially created to support Vietnam in achieving its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets for agriculture. The platform addresses challenges related to emission data and policy support while demonstrating how mitigation efforts can align with and enhance agricultural productivity.

The platform provides a suite of tested tools for GHG mitigation and MRV, including RICEMORE, FARMORE, SECTOR, COMPARE, MapAWD, DISPLAY, and CF-RICE, which support emission monitoring, calculation, and sustainable rice practices. It also introduces various emission measurement methods, such as automated and manual chamber systems, eddy covariance, photo-acoustic spectroscopy, standardized GHG calculators, and measurement guidelines. Additionally, it provides a lists of advanced rice cultivation practices covering rice varieties and seedling methods, tillage practices, water and straw management, etc. The platform offers guidance and templates on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) planning, low-emission rice production investments, GHG sampling and estimation, national MRV systems, and farmer questionnaires. Insights from field trials and case studies, particularly on alternate wetting and drying (AWD), highlight the platform’s ability to achieve significant GHG reductions while delivering ecological and economic co-benefits.
