The Conference highlighted the applicability of SRI Method for rice production in Malaysia to be considered and explored for its long-term socio-economic benefits. Understandably, this step would demand an action plan that involves stakeholders in rice production and consumption at all levels. A dynamic plan with a view to the future provided by expert speakers would provide insights into the dynamics of SRI and its relevance to Malaysian communities, for which this conference recognizes the need to:
_ Address scientific, technical and political reasons intertwined in rice production,
_ Ensure the livelihoods of rice farmers, farming communities and consumers
_ Ensure sustainable use of natural resources and conserve the environment
_ Integrate national policies into rural development programs
_ Monitor the effectiveness of fiscal policies in ensuring rice and livelihoods security
_ Create public awareness on rice production issues and the relevance of SRI
