Life
Henri de Laulanié de Sainte-Croix was trained as an agronomist at
He arrived on Madagascar in 1961, at the age of 41. As rice was the staple food of the
SRI is based on four principles: 1. Establishing plants early and quickly, to favor healthy and vigorous root and vegetative plant growth. 2. Maintaining low plant density to allow optimal development of each individual plant and to minimize competitions between plants for nutrients, water and sunlight. 3. Enriching soils with organic matter to improve nutrient and water holding capacity, increase microbial life in the soil, and to provide a good substrate for roots to grow and develop, 4. Reducing and controlling the application of water, providing only as much water as necessary for optimal plant development and to favor aerobic soil conditions.[4]
The System of Rice Intensification was later adopted by over 55 countries around the world and has improved food security for millions of small holder rice farmers.[5]
De Laulanie died in Madagascar in 1995. His grave is located in the cemetery at Ambohipo, Madagascar.[6]
