The Upper Pampanga Rice Climate-Smart Rice Project
The Upper Pampanga Rivier Intigrated Irrigation System (UPRIIS) spans over 100,000 hectares of highly productive rice paddies in Central Luzon, and is considered to be the “rice granary of the Philippines”. Ostrom Climate’s expert team runs a large scale Farmer Field School that supports smallholder rice producers in methane reduction through the implementation of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) on their farms. In a best-in-class Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) program, and in partnership with the National Irrigation Administration, Ostrom Climate puts revenues directly into the hands of smallholder producers at the front lines of the climate crisis.
