Rice is a staple food for half of the world's population and largest source greenhouse gas (GHG) from agricultural sector, responsible approximately 48% GHG emissions croplands. With rapid growth human population, increasing pressure on rice systems extensive intensive farming associated with an increase in that impeding global efforts to mitigate climate change. The complex environment, its genotypic variability among cultivars, as well emerging practices climatic changes, are important challenges research development initiatives aim lower crop productivity. A combination approaches will likely be needed effectively improve resilience modern farming. These include better understanding major drivers emissions, different cropping control magnitude high yield performance through systems-level studies. use hybrids may give farmers additive advantage, able resist environmental stress than inbred varieties. Recent progress dissemination hybrid has demonstrated shift carbon footprint production lead way transforming reduce emissions. application innovative technologies such high-throughput sequencing, gene editing, AI can accelerate our underlying mechanisms critical fields. We highlight advanced practical breeding support contribution nutritional security while ensuring sustainable healthy planet.
