Happy New Year! Here's a recap of what SRI-Rice at Cornell found and either linked to or uploaded during 2017! We linked to (among others) 275 press/blogs/website articles; 130+ research articles/theses; 68 videos; and 39 PowerPoints. We have also uploaded project documents and other material from numerous countries to help our SRI colleagues share their successes. You can find the 2017 compilation along with info from the past several decades in the SRI online library.
SRI-Rice's insight:
We hope you'll enjoy the 2017 System of Rice Intensification (SRI) collection. As our listings go back several decades, we are happy to help you to use our online library or research databases if you get lost! Just write to: sririce@cornell.edu

In 2013, associate professor Derek Warner began working with the U.S. Navy, supporting their effort to 3-D print flight-critical components for the V-22 Osprey aircraft. After thinking about other applications for custom 3-D printing, he sent an email to Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and received a response from Erika Styger at SRI-Rice. Warner then sent his doctoral student, Wenjia Gu, to Colombia to investigate more. At an SRI gathering of farmers from several South American countries she then had an opportunity to showcase a 3-D printer and a plastic prototype she had printed. It was a rotor that could be used to retrofit a weeder. With rapid prototyping, according to Gu, farmers could quickly test different designs and make adjustments based on trial and error...

To achieve the target, the ministry will use the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), a plan in which farmers will increase productivity, quality and economic effectiveness, while reducing pesticides and nitrogenous fertilisers.
SRI-Rice's insight:
Mai Van Trinh, director of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's Institute for Agricultural Environment emphasizes SRI among new water- and cost-efficient farming techniques that will allow Viet Nam to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in wet rice production by 15 to 20 per cent by 2020.
