SUSTAINABLE RICE PLATFORM

IBIS RICE & Sustainable Rice Platform

IBIS Rice was launched 2009 by the Wildlife Conservation Society when conservationists discovered how endangered animals, like the Giant Ibis, were competing with humans for the same prized natural resources in one of the last remaining ecosystems of its kind. By building sustainable solutions with forest farmers, we are now able to improve the state of their habitat, proving that farming communities and wildlife can coexist. Certified Organic, IBIS Rice is grown by hand on Cambodia’s northern plains, where mineral-rich waters run off the Dangrek Mountains.

SUPPORT IBIS RICE

Through the application of the Sustainable Rice Platform, SMP has been working with rice farmers in the central floodplains of Cambodia since 2015 to improve agricultural practices, increase incomes, and protect biological and cultural heritage, the world’s first standard for sustainable rice cultivation. The project currently implement around the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve.
