The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) was introduced to Liberia in 2012. Since then, it has been widely promoted across the country to enhance rice productivity. This ecological methodology has proven a viable alternative to conventional and traditional rice cultivation elsewhere in the world, particularly among smallholder farmers, as the low-input, high-output production system increases food security and income while conserving natural resources and relying less on agrochemicals. There is a growing body of literature dedicated to SRI, but little is known about farmer experience with this production system in Liberia. This paper explores farmer perceptions using qualitative research methods and examines the challenges and opportunities for scaling up SRI in the Liberian context. Results from this research indicate substantial benefits for farmers, as yield increases were reported unanimously. However, low and partial comprehension of SRI principles and practices, along with infrastructural barriers, limited the persistent adoption.
