| Project Detail |
Initiative supported by the National Secretariat of Science and Technology (SENACYT), as a result of an initial pilot project that consisted of achieving the reduction of rice production costs, increasing the income of producers and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The producers of the project were trained in the use of physical and digital platforms: Blockchain for crop traceability, Monitoring, Registration and Validation (MRV) to generate carbon credits, and YTTRIUM to interpret satellite images of the state of rice in the plots.
General Objective:
To improve and consolidate the capacities of 100 rice producers from the provinces of Chiriquí, Veraguas and Coclé through the methodology of Rice Field Schools (ECAs) focused on organization, entrepreneurship and marketing of the product.
Specific Objectives:
Develop a new value proposition that consists of offering NAMA (Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions) rice through alliances with mills to process this type of rice that is beneficial for consumption and characterized by its environmental sustainability.
Contribute to improving the competitiveness and capabilities of rice producers with the application of the NAMA-based production model
Expected Results:
Rice producers are trained through the Field School at the level of organization, entrepreneurship and marketing, in the innovation model developed with the elaboration of a value proposition consisting of offering NAMA rice with the support of alliances with mills that can process this type of rice both in dryland production systems and in the irrigated production system. |
