We Connect
Connecting people means connecting ideas. To initiate change, we build networks so ideas can be cross-pollinated between actors in the food system. Currently, SRI-Mas runs the SRI Farm Network between five states in Malaysia for SRI communities to share struggles and exchange ideas. We are also connected to the greater Asia SRI Network, connecting chapters from all across Asia.

With the encouragement of Tuan Haji Marzuki (Government Officer at KEDA), SRI rice was planted in a small area in Kaki Bukit, Baling, Kedah in 2014. The plants fared very well, but the area was later designated to be a flood retention pond and thus, had to be abandoned. A new area will be chosen to be planted with SRI rice in the coming seasons.
