      What I find most interesting about this is the fact that it allows rice cultivation in areas where it wasn’t possible before.
      Also the lack of flooding means less methane emissions

      I was under the impression that no rice *required* flooding, just that it *tolerated* flooding and the pests that fed on it would be killed by said flooding, so it was beneficial to do such?
