Abstract:
Rice (Oryza sativa) is the main staple food of Southeast Asia and rice-production landscapes are a major landcover that provide food security, income, employment and vital environmental services to the region. Southeast Asia is a key supplier of rice, producing one-third of the annual global yield. Rice-production landscapes are threatened by climate change. The integration of trees into rice-production landscapes strengthens the resilience of farmers and agroecosystems to climate change. Unfortunately, the advantages and potential of trees to mitigate climate change in rice-production landscapes are under-appreciated. This brief highlights seven messages for how these benefits can be better utilized through policy integration.
