More than half of the world's population depends on rice. But not all rice cultivation is ecologically sensitive, and rice trade is not always fair.This Summer School asks how to make the shift to sustainable and resilient rice cultivation in the global food system. 32 students from Thailand, Cambodia, Austria and Indonesia had the opportunity to explore options for a transition towards sustainable rice production. Together with regional stakeholders in the region of Yogyakarta, the participants analysed the "System of Rice Intensification" regarding its social, economic and ecological potential. The results of the study were presented to the wider public at the Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. The Sustainability Transitions Summer School is a joint project with Gadjah Mada University/Indonesia, Kasetsart University/Thailand and the Royal University of Agriculture, Cambodia.
