IFAD Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) No. 706 titled Managing Rice Landscapes in the Marginal Uplands for Household Food Security and Environmental Sustainability is an IRRI‐led research project implemented in collaboration with national research organizations in four countries—India, Lao PDR, Nepal, and Vietnam. One of the objectives of the project is to test and validate upland agricultural technologies—lowland paddy rice and upland rice in particular—appropriate for the poor and marginal farmers living in uplands to improve their food security. The project follows a landscape management and farmer participatory approach for testing and generating technologies for the upland ecosystem. The project tests and validates agricultural technologies in farmers’ fields with farmer participation in selected villages chosen as field research sites. This brief reports on TAG 706‐validated rice‐system‐based agriculture technologies at its field research sites in the Churia or Shiwalik Hills and in the middle hills of Nepal1.
