Advanced technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from rice fields: Is hybrid rice the game changer?

ABSTRACT: Rice is a staple food for half of the world's population and the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) from the agricultural sector, responsible for approximately 48% of GHG emissions from croplands. With the rapid growth of the human population, the increasing pressure on rice systems for extensive and intensive farming is associated with an increase in GHG emissions that is impeding global efforts to mitigate climate change. The complex rice environment, with its genotypic variability among rice cultivars, as well as emerging farming practices and global climatic changes, are important challenges for research and development initiatives that aim to lower GHG emissions and increase crop productivity. A combination of approaches will likely be needed to effectively improve the resilience
