International Sustainable Rice Forum 2025 — Informational Overview
International Sustainable Rice Forum (ISRF) 2025 brings together farmers, industry leaders, researchers, policymakers and civil-society organisations to tackle one of agriculture’s most urgent challenges: how to produce rice sustainably at scale. Rice feeds a large portion of the global population, but conventional production systems can be resource-intensive and contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. ISRF 2025 focuses on practical solutions, policy alignment and market mechanisms that promote climate-smart, equitable and resilient rice value chains.
What to expect: ISRF 2025 presents a mix of plenary sessions, technical panels, hands-on case studies and networking opportunities. Sessions spotlight field-proven practices—such as alternate wetting and drying, fertilizer optimization, improved seed and variety choices, and post-harvest efficiency—that both reduce emissions and improve farmer livelihoods. The forum also explores enabling conditions: financing, incentives, extension services and public-private partnerships needed to scale sustainable practices across landscapes.
Event Date and Location
Date: 17–18 November 2025
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Who should attend
ISRF is designed for a diverse audience involved in the rice sector, including:
- Rice farmers and cooperative leaders
- Millers, traders and supply-chain actors
- Retailers and brands seeking low-carbon sourcing
- Researchers, agronomists and universities
- Policymakers, donors and NGOs
Key themes and practical outcomes
The forum concentrates on measurable and implementable outcomes. Themes include:
- Low-carbon agronomy: techniques to lower methane and nitrous oxide emissions while maintaining or increasing yields.
- Market readiness: certification, traceability and buyer requirements that open premium markets for sustainably produced rice.
- Policy and finance: incentives, carbon finance models and subsidy reforms that support smallholders in the transition.
- Technology and scaling: digital tools, monitoring systems and extension models that accelerate adoption at landscape scale.
Practical information
ISRF 2025 will take place over two days in Jakarta and feature a blend of global perspectives and local case studies. Attendees gain direct exposure to successful projects, lessons learned and partner organisations that can support on-the-ground implementation. Special rates or scholarships may be available for representatives from civil society, academia and government.
Why it matters
Transitioning rice systems is a lever for climate action, food security and rural development. By aligning science, markets and policy, ISRF 2025 aims to accelerate adoption of solutions that cut emissions, strengthen farmer incomes and ensure the rice sector contributes positively to national and global climate goals.
