Across Asia, rice is food for the largest segment of the human family. These policy notes seek to contribute to the ongoing policy dialogues and debates about rice and food security in East and Southeast Asia and to better informed decision- making. The aim of this compendium is to synthesize and reframe a large body of recent literature into a readily-accessible format for public officials, business leaders, members of civil society and other stakeholders in the policymaking process. While the focus of the publication is on the rice sector in East and Southeast Asia, many of its key findings and conclusions will also be of interest to policymakers addressing similar challenges associated with staple food in other regions."--Publisher website. 0aRice 0aRice 0aAgricultural productivity 0aAgricultural productivity 7aAgricultural productivity. 7aRice1 aJaffee, Steven,1 aSantos, Nuno,2 aFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,2 aWorld Bank Group,2 aInternational Rice Research Institute,
