  • The System of Crop Intensification: Reports from the Field on Improving
    Abraham et al. Agriculture & Food Security 2014, 3:4 http://www.agricultureandfoodsecurity.com/content/3/1/4 REVIEW Open Access The system of crop intensification: reports from the field on improving agricultural production, food security, and resilience to climate change for multiple crops Binju Abraham1, Hailu Araya2, Tareke Berhe3, Sue Edwards2, Biksham Gujja4, Ram Bahadur Khadka5, Yang S Koma6, Debashish Sen7, Asif Sharif8, Erika Styger9, Norman Uphoff9* and Anil Verma10 Abstract In the past half dozen years, farmers and professionals working with them in several Asian and African countries have begun adapting and extrapolating what they have learned from and about the system of rice intensification (SRI) to a range of other crops - finger millet, wheat, sugarcane, tef, oilseeds such as mustard, legumes such as soya and kidney beans, and various vegetables - in what is being called the system of crop intensification (SCI). As with rice, the principles of early and healthy plant establishment, reducing competition between plants, increased soil organic matter, active soil aeration, and the careful application of water are proving able to raise the productivity and profitability of differently-managed crops. Recent reports from the World Bank in India and the Agricultural Transformation Agency in Ethiopia show such changes in crop management improving food security and being scaled up with hundreds of thousands of farmers. This review article reports on the productivity and other impacts being observed for many different crops in half a dozen countries for increasing food crop yields with lower cost and input requirements as well as more resilience to adverse effects of climate change.

  • SRI, the System of Rice Intensification: Less Can Be More,” Which Described a New Approach to Rice Production That Its Advocates Claimed Could Help Achieve This Goal
    Technical SRI, the System of Note #82 Rice Intensification: Less Can Be More The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is a method of raising rice that produces substantially higher yields with the planting of far fewer seedlings and the use of fewer inputs than either traditional methods (i.e., flooding) or more “modern” methods (using mineral fertilizer or agrochemicals). This approach involves various practices for plant, soil, water and nutrient management. SRI has been successfully used in more than 50 countries and has been promoted extensively by Dr. Norman Uphoff with Cornell University. What is SRI? SRI involves the use of a combination of management practices that optimize growing conditions for rice plants, particularly in the root zone. It was developed in Madagascar in the early 1980s by Father Henri de Laulaníe, a Jesuit priest who spent over 30 years in that country working with farmers. In 1990, Association Tefy Saina (ATS) was formed as a Malagasy NGO to promote SRI. Four years later, the Cornell Interna- tional Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development (CIIFAD), began What’s Inside: cooperating with Tefy Saina to introduce SRI around the Ranomafana National Park in eastern Madagascar, supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development. It has since been tested in China, India, What is SRI? Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and elsewhere with positive results. How does SRI work? The results with SRI methods are remarkable (see Table 1 and thoughts by Ryan Haden, p. 7-8, for added perspective on yields). In Madagascar, This sounds too good to be true.

  • (SRI): Responses to Frequently Asked Questions
    THE SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION (SRI) Responses to Frequently Asked Questions Norman Uphoff SRI-Rice, Cornell University Published by Norman Uphoff, SRI-Rice, B75 Mann Library Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA First Edition: © Norman Uphoff 2015 ISBN: 13: 978-1515022053 Designed by Carrie Young Assistance from Devon Jenkins and Prabhat Gautam Supported by CreateSpace Publishers Distributed by Amazon.com, Inc. 2nd edition to be available in black and white i FOREWORD Compared to a decade ago, many more persons – at least 10 million people, most of them farmers -- can now answer the question "What is SRI?" at least in general terms. However, most would probably not give very detailed answers, and many would like to know more about this strategy for raising the crop yield of rice, and now also other grains, legumes and vegetables, just by changing the way that these crops are managed, with minimal reliance on purchased inputs. Also by now, many more persons will at least have heard something about SRI and about its benefits for producers, for consumers, and for the environment. They may well be interested in a systematic introduction to this phenomenon which has demonstrated positive results in more than 50 countries around the world (http://sri.cals.cornell.edu/countries/index.html). So this book is written for both groups of potential readers, bringing together in one place much of the accumulated field experience and scientific research that makes the System of Rice Intensification and its derivations grouped under the broad heading of the System of Crop Intensification an unprecedented opportunity for enabling people to improve their lives in this 21st century.
