The Thai Rice Project in partnership with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) focuses  on resilient, low-emissions production systems. The project works across various emissions-heavy steps of the process including straw burning, field flooding, and integrated pest management to reimagine how rice is grown.  

At the LSU AgCenter researchers are developing rice varieties that are able to withstand the strain imposed by climate change. Species are being cultivated to grow in drier, higher salinity environments while increasing yield and reducing the cost of cultivation.
