The Technology Catalog (Ver. 3.0), developed by JIRCAS, aligns with Japan’s MIDORI Strategy for Sustainable Food Systems. It currently compiles over 40 innovative agricultural technologies applicable to the Asia-Monsoon Region, aiming to enhance food system productivity and sustainability. The catalog covers key areas, including greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, climate adaptation, chemical input reduction, labor productivity, resource management, and biomass utilization, supporting various agricultural commodities and addressing different stages of the supply chain. Featured technologies range from methane mitigation in rice paddies and precision irrigation to biochar-based soil carbon sequestration and smart agricultural machinery. As a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders, the catalog promotes international collaboration and accelerates the transformation of sustainable agrifood systems in the region.
