Saviez-vous que la culture du riz est responsable d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre équivalentes à celles de l'ensemble de l'industrie aéronautique mondiale ?
La production de riz a un impact significatif sur le climat et la nature. Adresser les enjeux liés aux émissions, à l'utilisation de l'eau et à la déforestation dans la riziculture peut entraîner des changements environnementaux positifs.
La demande de riz devrait augmenter de 70 % au cours des 30 prochaines années.
Les agricultrices fournissent jusqu'à 80 % de la main-d'œuvre agricole, mais restent systématiquement exclues.
La riziculture est très vulnérable aux effets du changement climatique, tout en générant 10 % des émissions mondiales de méthane d'origine humaine.
La culture du riz utilise 30 à 40 % de l'eau douce mondiale et représente 15 % de l'utilisation mondiale d'engrais.
Quels sont les défis à relever ?
La production de riz contribue de manière significative au changement climatique par les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, en particulier le méthane, et est confrontée à des problèmes environnementaux tels que la consommation élevée d'eau, la dégradation des sols et l'appauvrissement de la biodiversité. En outre, elle est principalement gérée par de petits exploitants agricoles qui doivent faire face aux impacts climatiques, à un appui limité et aux défis du marché, ce qui conduit souvent à la pauvreté et à l'insécurité financière.
