Map consumer preference for rice grain qualityIdentify dissemination areas for new rice varieties/technologiesDevelop methods for defining rice mega environments

Mapping and monitoring of the biophysical and socio-economic characteristics of rice-producing areas is key

for developing effective targeting strategies for dissemination of new technologies, and sustainable crop

management and diversification options. This can help in the allocation of limited resources to achieve the

greatest potential benefits and provide actionable information to decision makers.
