Food production doesn’t have to cost the Earth.
Over 80% of forests globally have already degraded because of human activities, with agriculture and logging being the biggest drivers to deforestation, animal extinction and biodiversity loss. The rapid rate in which our forests are being destroyed means that half of what currently remains will be gone by 2100.

Conservation models like ours are changing that.

IBIS Rice was launched as a conservation enterprise by the Wildlife Conservation Society when conservationists discovered how endangered wildlife, like the Giant Ibis, were competing with humans in one of the last remaining ecosystems of its kind. By building sustainable solutions with forest farmers, we are now able to improve the state of their habitat, proving that farming communities and wildlife can coexist.

At the heart of IBIS Rice are our farming communities. We work exclusively with organic farming communities located in and around Cambodia’s wildlife sanctuaries that are committed to conservation. Recognising their central role in the future of forests, we are dedicated to empowering these communities while lifting them out of poverty so that they can continue to preserve vulnerable wildlife.

IBIS Rice is an award-winning variety of jasmine, hand-grown in a unique and pristine environment. Our farmers plant just one crop per year allowing it to mature slowly into the finest quality, fragrant, long-grain rice known locally as Phka Rumdoul. Our farmers grow our rice to the strictest organic standards and certified Wildlife-Friendly®.
