Fragile Lives in Fragile Ecosystems Proceedings of the International Rice Research Conference, 13-17 February 1995, International Rice Research Institute, Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines

Fragile lives in fragile ecosystems: Feeding the world's poor from neglected rice ecosystems was the theme of the 1995 International Rice Research Conference. During the February meeting, participants assessed progress in rice research and identified new research approaches for reducing constraints and improving productivity and sustainability of less favored and fragile rice producing areas - these are the upland, rainfed lowland, and flood-prone ecosystems.
