'''''System of rice intensification (SRI)''''' is a methodology aimed at increasing the yield of rice produced in farming. It is a low water, [[labor intensive]], [[organic]] method that uses younger seedlings singly spaced and typically hand weeded with special tools. It was developed in 1983 by the French Jesuit Father Henri de Laulanié in Madagascar. However full testing and spread of the system throughout the rice growing regions of the world did not occur until some years later.

==World record yields==

In 2011 a young farmer named Sumant Kumar set a new world record in rice production of 22.4 tons per hectare using SRI, beating the existing world record held by the Chinese scientist Yuan Longping by an astounding 3 tons. <ref>{{cite web|last=Piras|first=Nicola|title=New record in Bihar thanks to SRI|url=http://www.agriculturesnetwork.org/resources/extra/bihar-sri|work=AgriCultures Network|accessdate=20 May 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Chang|first=Gordon G.|title=Rice Production Records Set with New Method|url=http://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/blog/gordon-g-chang/rice-production-records-set-new-method|work=World Affairs Journal|accessdate=21 May 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Vidal|first=John|title=India's rice revolution|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/2013/feb/16/india-rice-farmers-revolution|work=The Observer|publisher=The Gardian|accessdate=21 May 2013|location=London|date=16 February 2013}}</ref>
