To increase rice production and yield employment in the Philippines, and to decrease methane emissions globally.
Mission Statement
Proposed Service and Description
Drainage and Fertilizer in the Philippines
Purpose:• To Decrease Methane Emission and Increase Rice Yield
Problem: • Increasing Methane Emission due to Wetland Rice Fields • Decreasing Filipino Rice Yield
Need: • To Improve the Philippine’s Rank in the Rice Industry
Solution:• Use of Mid-Season Drainage System and Ammonium Sulfate
Fertilizer
Our Company’s Service
Mid-Season Drainage System:• Allow for shallow flooding• Drain water for 7 days to
stress the soil
Benefits:• 50% Lower Methane
Emission • Water Conservation• Higher Rice Yield
Disadvantage:• Production of Nitrous Oxide
Benefits and Disadvantages

Relationship With Business Partners Outside of Work
Dinner Parties:•Never call someone a hostess•Dress conservatively•Bring flowers•Wrap Gifts•Send thank-you note
Dinner At A Restaurant:•Pay if you invited•Tip 5-15%•Fork in left hand, spoon in right•Check dress codes

Limitations
Water and Money
Water • Evapotranspiration, Seepage, Preparation, and Percolation• Advantage: less water needed, less methane is produced
(temp, rice), less water pollution then traditional methods• Disadvantages: weeding required, higher quality water is
needed, increases the susceptibility of certain diseases for certain types of rice
http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3057/ http://www.plantcell.org/content/19/8.cover-expansion
MoneyAdvantages:• less water needed • able to utilize some of the
remaining structureDisadvantages: • more water management
equipment needed• more gas required for
pump• large up front cost

Overcoming Problems
• Government support for environmental betterment• Genetic modification of rice – More productive, more drought resistant, disease defiant– These modifications could eliminate the majority of
limitations• Superior fertilizers– Fertilizers that are better adapted to this form of farming
Summary
• Increase Rice Production• Reduce Methane and Nitrous Oxide Emission• Provide a Stable Food Source for the Philippines• Decrease Water Consumption
