Straw Innovations‘ aim is to reduce emissions from rice farming whilst helping rice farmers work smarter and make more income from their crop. 

Rice is responsible for more emissions than the entire aviation industry, yet it has only had a fraction of the attention and investment. Straw Innovations has invested millions ($) in cutting-edge R&D to make it possible for you to enjoy your rice with less than half the emissions. Their proprietary technologies rescue straw from boggy rice fields, transform if from a polluting waste into a valuable, eco-friendly resource for clean energy and fertiliser for the next low-emissions rice crop. 

Straw Innovations’ platform technologies are the first of their kind in the world.

In recognition for all their achievements and hard work, Straw Innovations were honoured with a Silver award in the category of Sustainability Champion at the 2024 Engineering Matters Awards. 

Craig Jamieson, founder and director of Straw Innovations, has this to say: “Our new technologies for rice straw management are bringing real benefits. This is a wonderful endorsement of our team’s hard work in improving farmer livelihoods whilst reducing pollution from rice production.”

Many congratulations to Craig and the team; find out more about their exciting work here.
