 Food and security has contributed to malnutrition. Around 550 million people, most of which are in Asia, suffer from this. In order to address this challenge, IRI is working with SDC to facilitate innovations to improve rice yields in ways that are sustainable and beneficial for both people and planet. Corey Gap, IRI, is working to improve production and livelihood for more than 500,000 small-holder farmers in China, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. What is Corey Gap's strategy? Corey Gap's, we've identified from analysis that we're looking between 20 and 45 per cent. And so if we can address that, then it helps us in the intensive low-land cropping system, which is a rice basket of Asia, to be able to increase production and get towards that goal of increasing rice production by 40 per cent by the year 2000. We bring together people with expertise in quite a number of different areas ranging from the establishment of crops, growth of the crops, the management of pests through to post-harvest. But so important though is we are aligned with in-country partners. They are our local champions and they also work closely with us to make sure that we're closely aligned with the country priorities for the rice strategy plans they have in each country. By using improved post-harvest technologies and management options, farmers can reduce their post-harvest losses and such also contribute to reducing the year gap. By farming with nature, not against it, Corey Gap is promoting sustainable use of agro-ecosystems, which benefits animal biodiversity. Through Corey Gap what I hope to achieve is to identify some indicators. Then what we'll be able to do is we'll be able to say that certain practices will have positive, neutral or negative effects on the whole diversity. Big challenge is how to make rice farming just more sustainable, how to ensure that farmers adopt sustainable practices in a chain where there is little coordination between actors. We have different incentive mechanisms. We're looking at two angles. The first one is the market. We're looking at whether consumers, domestic consumers, urban consumers are willing to pay for rice that is certified as being sustainably produced. And secondly, we're looking at contracts. Can we develop a contract that stipulates the adoption of sustainable practices as one of the conditions? Since 2013, IRI through Corey Gap has been able to reach more than 379,000 small-holder farmers. 86,456 small-holder farmers increased yield and profit by more than 10%. In 2017, farmers in Myanmar saw at most 263% increase in income. This means an increase reaching around 160 US dollars per hectare. About 25% of the respondents believe that they were able to save money due to use of farming technologies. These farming technologies enabled farmers to have a stronger sense of financial capability, have a more diverse diet and more frequent meals, have improved access to healthcare and are able to undergo needed treatment, have increased social capital by being able to donate and contribute resources to pagodas. In the next years, IRI together with SDC will continue leading innovations to sustainably increase rice production and with it, transform the lives of countless people who depend on rice for food, for life.
