About ORP-5
Building on a strong legacy of international symposia held in France (2012), Italy (2015), Brazil (2018), and Japan (2023), the 5th International Conference on Organic and Natural Rice Production Systems (ORP-5) is coming to India.
The conference brings together scientists, farmers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to advance sustainable, climate-resilient rice production systems globally.
