Straw Innovations at the Regional Roundtable on Methane Reduction in Southeast Asia 🌾🌏

Held at International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) Headquarters in Los Baños, the roundtable convened climate finance leaders, development partners, and technical experts under the Accelerating Methane Reduction in Rice Production (AMR) Project to accelerate low-emission rice production across the region.

We’re proud to be among the key informants who contributed to the AMR Stocktaking Report—highlighting real-world insights from the field and exploring pathways for climate finance, carbon market readiness, and MRV adoption in Southeast Asia.

We’re incredibly grateful to The Economic Times for this in-depth feature on how Straw Innovations is preparing to roll out our rice straw technologies in India — a country where the challenges of food security, methane emissions, and winter smog all intersect at the farm level.

The article captured a crucial point we care deeply about: rice straw isn’t just “waste.” When managed properly, it becomes a climate solution, a soil enhancer, and a livelihood opportunity. By introducing our Straw Traktor, biochar systems, and circular farming model, we aim to help Indian farmers reduce burning, improve soil health, and tap into new income streams, all while contributing to cleaner air and more resilient food systems.

A heartfelt thank you to ET for amplifying this conversation. Transforming rice straw across Asia is a shared mission, and features like this help push the movement forward. 🌾🇮🇳🌍
