The article highlights the success of nuclear-derived climate-smart agricultural practices in increasing rice yields across six Asian countries, as part of a collaboration between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). These practices, adopted by farmers in Bangladesh, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Vietnam, have led to significant increases in rice production per hectare, helping to address the food security challenges faced by Asia's rapidly growing population. The techniques focus on optimizing fertilizer and water use, with the IAEA/FAO Integrated Option showing particularly impressive results in Pakistan. The initiative has also demonstrated environmental benefits, such as a 36% reduction in ammonia emissions from rice farming. The partnership between the IAEA and FAO continues to explore the use of nuclear techniques in agriculture under the Atoms4Food project, aiming to improve productivity, ensure food safety, and mitigate the effects of climate change.
