After a lull in activities around SRI (Systems of Rice Intensification), two new SRI projects were launched recently in Mwea involving applied research, comprising within it two-sub-projects; (i) Scientific evaluation of labour demands under SRI, and (ii) Scientific assessment of impacts of SRI on weeds.
SRI-Rice's insight:
Projects are implemented as a collaboration between Water Research and Resource Center at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology-JKUAT and MIAD-NIB and are supported by the African Institute for Capacity and Development (AICAD)

Following the adoption of a new method for rice production by Liberian farmers known as the “System of Rice Intensification (SRI), the Community of Hope Agriculture Project (CHAP), based in Paynesville, has received support from the government of Liberia and partners to carry out the implementation of the program.

Downloadable! This paper investigates the impact of training provided by a large-scale private farm on the performance of surrounding small-scale rice farmers in a rain-fed area in Tanzania. We found that the training effectively enhances the adoption of improved rice cultivation practices, paddy yield, and profit of rice cultivation by small-holder farmers. In fact, the trainees achieve paddy yield of 5 tons per hectare on average, which is remarkably high for rain-fed rice cultivation. Our results suggest high potential of small-scale rain-fed lowland rice cultivation and extension services by private large scale farms.
