The multiple goods and services of Asian rice production systems
As a contribution to the knowledge base on the capacity of rice ecosystems to produce multiple benefits, the present review was undertaken in the context of FAO’s Regional Rice Initiative in Asia in 2013. FAO coordinated a process with regional and national experts in Asia to identify emerging holistic systems in rice production, review key integral practices, and assess their documented impacts on both yields and provisioning of ecosystem services. In the majority of cases, from the literature review undertaken it is evident that yields of rice production systems can benefit from the systems that are managed to generate other ecosystem services. The analysis in this document showcases an example of how FAO’s Strategic Framework can be implemented, particularly through its Strategic Objective 2 – to increase and improve provision of goods and services from agriculture, forestry and fisheries in a sustainable manner.
