3rd Global Sustainable Rice Conference and Exhibition - Transforming Food, Climate, and People

Global Conference in Bangkok Invites Participants to Shape the Future of Sustainable Rice 

SINGAPORE, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The 3rd Global Sustainable Rice Conference & Exhibition 2024, will be held in Bangkok on 26-27 November 2024, under the theme 'Sustainable Rice: Food, Climate, and People'. Organized by the Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP), this event underscores the vital role of rice production in addressing global climate challenges and fostering sustainable food systems. Solutions to these challenges are particularly relevant for commercial rice industry actors, development groups and government institutions.

The event offers attendees the opportunity to engage with global and regional experts and stakeholders who are committed to enhancing the resilience and sustainability of rice value chains. Participants will discover innovative solutions and collaborative initiatives, such as the Sustainable Rice Landscapes Initiative and the Global Environment Facility, both designed to drive impactful and scalable change. Attendees will gain valuable insights directly from SRP members and key stakeholders, who will share essential recommendations and lessons learned from their experiences within the SRP framework.

"There's never been a more important moment for the transformation of the sustainable rice eco-system both in Asia and globally," said Wyn Ellis, SRP Executive Director, based in Thailand. He highlighted that a shift to more sustainable rice farming practices will be crucial to boost farm livelihoods, enhance food and water security and combat climate change.

Since its launch in 2017, the SRP Conference has emerged as a flagship event and forum for bringing together stakeholders from across the global rice sector. Following the success of the last event in 2019, SRP anticipates over 300 high-level delegates from industry, government, research and development partners joining the conference this year. 

The conference aims to explore the latest innovations, share best practices, and build new partnerships to promote sustainability in rice cultivation and supply chains.

"This event is designed to offer a rich platform to explore the latest tools for impact monitoring- including carbon accounting- and to share knowledge and connect with leaders advancing sustainable practices worldwide," said Dr. Ellis. "SRP invites attendees to be part of the conversation that will set the stage for sustainable transformation — foster new partnerships, exchange ideas, and help build a more sustainable future for the rice sector!"
