Global Rice Science Partnership
Potential impact (by 2035)
• Keep rice affordable: reduce expenditure on rice by those under the $1.25 poverty line by $11 billion annually. • Slash poverty: lift 150 million people above the $1.25 poverty line, because they will be spending less on rice, reducing the global number of poor by 11%. • Reduce malnutrition: as a result of increased availability and affordable rice prices, alleviate malnourishment for at least 70 million people. • Cut climate change impacts: avert nearly 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions and help rice farmers adapt to climate change. • ‘Greener’ rice: reduce the water and environmental footprint of rice production.

Why focus on rice?
We need more rice: demand for rice is increasing. And, to keep rice prices affordable for the poor we need to produce more rice.
• Rice is the staple food for more than 3 billion people worldwide, including nearly 600 million living in extreme poverty. • Rice is increasingly important in Latin America and Africa. • Demand for rice will outstrip supply. • Rice price increases wreak havoc on the poor. • Rice research delivers the biggest benefits to the developing world of all international agricultural research.
