What we do
Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD)
AWD is simply the periodic drying and re-flooding of rice fields as opposed to keeping rice fields constantly flooded.
It’s proven to reduce water use by 30%, increase yield and cut down methane emissions by 1.4t per hectare per season.
Direct Seeded Rice (DSR)
The majority of SEA uses transplanted rice that are kept in constantly flooded nurseries.
Sowing rice seeds directly into the soil instead of using nurseries reduces water consumption, reduces seed cost and cuts down methane emission by 0.3t per hectare per season.
Company's story
Our Specialty
Soil bacteria additive
The addition of specialized bacteria tempers the soil.
Soil bacteria additives reduce fertilizer use, improves grain quality and cuts down methane emission by 3.3t per hectare per season.
Our solution
Our solution incentivizes and rewards farmers to constantly adopt new practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase yields and elevate farmers’ well-being.

Our story
Rize is an Agri-Tech startup formed through a joint venture between Temasek, Wavemaker Impact, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, GenZero to decarbonize rice cultivation in Asia. It is building a platform to identify and implement the most effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in rice cultivation, and the right economic incentives across the value chain to drive the adoption of sustainable cultivation techniques. Rize’s initial target markets are Indonesia and Vietnam, to be followed by India with plans to expand more broadly within the region.
Rize seeks to collaborate with and build on the good work already carried out by organizations, corporates, startups, and academic institutions in the region.
