The RICE+ hub for regenerative ricescapes mission paper -- produced by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in collaboration with member companies and partners, under the auspices of the Sustainable Rice Landscapes Initiative (SRLI) -- is a call to action to bring together committed companies to drive an action-oriented agenda to tackle the major challenges that inhibit investments in scaling sustainable and regenerative rice-based landscapes (regenerative ricescapes, for short). Given the unique opportunity for sustainable rice landscapes to deliver solutions for climate mitigation and adaptation, nature recovery, and improving farmer livelihoods while contributing to food and nutrition security, there is an urgent need to target finance and scale up actions in high-impact landscapes.
