This project plans to provide a market platform for rice growers producing premium rice that is certified sustainably grown. Participating farmers may earn a premium and save in variable crop expenses.

This project plans to establish an agricultural apprenticeship at a minority serving institution, increase the supply of climate-smart rice, and promote climate-smart practices through education and demonstration. This project would use a “whole farm” approach to climate-smart management with a specific emphasis on quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in rice production.
