In the CGIAR, the Africa Rice Centre, International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), and IRRI bundle their research on natural resource management in the program “Ecological and sustainable management of rice-based production systems” of the Global Rice Science Partnership (GRiSP). Together with their hundreds of national partners, they conduct research to increase resource-use efficiency and productivity, meaning to grow “more with less.” Research is conducted to increase water-use efficiency, nutrient-use efficiency, and labor-use efficiency; to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; to increase ecological resilience and reduce the use of pesticides; to control rats and insect pests through ecologically based management practices; and to increase yields, reduce costs, and increase profitability for smallholder farmers. The principles behind this work are those of “ecological intensification.” All of the work of CIAT—not only on rice but on all production systems it works with—revolves around improving “eco-efficiency.” I don’t see anything “conventional” in this work, nor does it stimulate “producing more with more inputs.” That is really “last-century” thinking.
