SINGAPORE – To mitigate the effects of rice cultivation on climate change and meet rising demand for rice, researchers in Singapore have come up with a way to grow it more sustainably. An initiative by Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL) called Decarbonising Rice aims to reduce methane emissions, conserve water and increase rice yields. The project won the Giving to Amplify Earth Action (GAEA) award in the Climate, Nature and Resilience Science category at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in January. It is one of five initiatives that won the inaugural GAEA award for tackling global climate and nature challenges with innovative and scalable solutions. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/initiative-by-singapore-lab-to-cultivate-rice-sustainably-wins-wef-award   (ICE SINGAPORE)
