Propcom+ implemented a System of Rice Intensification (SRI) project, expanding on the success of the FCDO LINKS initiative in Kano and Jigawa states. Evidence from the LINKS pilots indicated that SRI practice increases rice productivity and reduces methane emissions. Unlike conventional rice farming, SRI can be practised in wet and dry seasons, giving farmers all-year-round farm income and contributing to improved livelihoods. The pilot also revealed key constraints limiting farmers’ participation and adoption, particularly among women.
