      abstract = {This study investigates the impact of modified System of  Rice Intensification (SRI)
training provided by a  large-scale private farm on the performance of  surrounding
small-scale rice farmers in a rain-fed area in  Tanzania. We found that the training
effectively increases  the adoption of improved rice cultivation practices, paddy  yield,
and profit of rice cultivation by small-holder  farmers. In fact, the trainees achieve
paddy yield of 5  tons per hectare on average, which is remarkably high in  rain-fed rice
cultivation by any standard. Our results  suggest high potential for achieving a rice
Green  Revolution in rain-fed areas and the importance of  extension services by
large-scale farms.},
