The ecological consequences of industrial agriculture and the pace at which natural resources of soil and water are being exhausted, make a rethink of food systems imperative. Rice being the staple for more than half the world population can play a vital role in this. This work builds the case for agroecological interventions in rice farming to mitigate the negative impacts of the food system and to achieve sustainable development goals in rural areas. In this regard, the improvements in plant growth parameters and plant health conditions observed under SRIBI (System of Rice Intensification with Beans Intercropping) are reported and it is presented as an alternative farming system due to its socioeconomic and ecological benefits.
