When governments create incentives or policies that support methane reductions in rice agriculture, farmers must take action. But what if governments aren't making the critical steps toward improving current approaches to rice farming?

Through your own mindful purchasing choices, you can use your dollars to support sustainable rice farmers! Here are different identifiers you can look for: 

• SRP-Verified Label: 

The SRP label is for products that have met the benchmarks under the SRP Standard for Sustainable Rice Cultivation, which is the world’s first voluntary sustainability standard for rice!

• AgriCapture U.S. Regenerative Rice Sourcing: 

AgriCapture works with their network of farmers across Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana to source regenerative rice that is compliant with the with Land Sector and Removals Guidance (LSRG) & Greenhouse Gas Protocol GHGP. 

There are also simple ways to support climate-conscious rice, like speaking up for better sustainability policies, cutting down on food waste in everyday life, and supporting or encouraging businesses and farmers that use more sustainable practices. Together, we can work to make this global staple better for the planet, and help protect food security across the world!
