Amid the vast rice fields of Nueva Ecija, the Philippines, a small change is opening up big opportunities for the future of agriculture. It is called Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) —a simple technique that is gradually inspiring a new way of managing water in rice paddies. Instead of continuously flooding fields as in traditional practices, AWD introduces a new rhythm: allowing water levels to recede until the soil briefly dries, then re-irrigating at the right time. For

Better Soil, Better Year Improve soil quality and agricultural productivity with SAWA Biochar , a nature-based soil amendment designed to enhance soil structure, increase water retention, and support sustainable agriculture while contributing to climate change mitigation. What Is Biochar? Biochar  is a porous carbon material produced through the controlled heating of biomass (agricultural waste) in low-oxygen conditions. SAWA Biochar is specifically developed as a soil amendm

Amid the growing threats of climate change and the rapid rise in global food demand, rice paddies have once again come into sharp focus. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that global food demand will increase by up to 70 percent by 2050 . Behind this figure lies a critical reality: rice remains the primary source of energy for more than half of the world’s population . Yet arable land is not expanding, while production pressure continues to intensify. In

Across the vast rice fields of Asia, rice stands as a pillar of human survival. More than half of the world’s population depends on these small golden grains for daily nourishment. But in recent years, rice has faced a new, invisible, and far more unpredictable threat: ozone pollution. Unlike the protective ozone layer high in the atmosphere, ground-level ozone is harmful. It forms from industrial and vehicle emissions and can damage plant leaves, stunt growth, and even weake
