Symposium on "Promoting the Implementation of Scalable Agricultural Technologies in the Asia-Monsoon Region" at the 6th IRC 2023

The International Rice Congress (IRC) is a conference organized by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and held every four years. The IRC was held for the first time in the Philippines, where IRRI is headquartered, for four days from October 16-19, 2023, and researchers from JIRCAS and NARO participated in the congress and held a symposium entitled "Promoting the Implementation of Scalable Agricultural Technologies in the Asia-Monsoon Region" on October 17.

Symposium Marks 50th Anniversary Milestone for JIRCAS Southeast Asia Liaison Office

The JIRCAS Southeast Asia Liaison Office in Bangkok, Thailand was established in 1972 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022. With no travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a 50th anniversary symposium was held on December 14, 2023.

    358. Development of Comprehensive Agricultural Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaption in Monsoon Asia

    Agriculture is a major contributor to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions and is also a heavily impacted economic sector. There is a need to develop and disseminate mitigation technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, as well as adaptation technologies to cope with extreme weather events such as droughts that are becoming more frequent with climate change. On the other hand, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all-solution’ for building sustainable agricultural production that is resilient to climate change, and it is extremely important to take into account the particularities of agricultural production in each country and region. In the project “Development of comprehensive agricultural technologies for climate change mitigation and adaption in Monsoon Asia”, we will develop and implement integrated climate change mitigation and adaptation technologies that will lead to behavioral change among farmers and contribute to the goals of the target countries in the Asian monsoon region.
