- Association Considering lasting environmental effects, there is a significant imbalance toward a conservative farming practice in rice.
- Intervention effect Synergies between yield and environment can be achieved in rice if precision management practices are adopted.
- Observation There is a large spatial variation in rice yields and environmental impacts.
- Recommendation One-size-fits-all rice policies are likely to be ineffective in reducing environmental impacts.
