1 – History of Rice
If the story of food is the story of people, then the story of rice is the story of food. From the first agricultural “big bang” to the present day, following the path of this simple grass leads to the founding of cities, the construction of empires and the creation of the dishes that would become culinary icons. And it also leads to myths and legends, wars and rebellions and even musical battles. Every culture that cultivates rice has its own origin story, so today our mission is to find the truth, trace its spread and learn the roots of some of history’s greatest dishes- and try them, too.

3 – Why Rice Markets Are in Crisis Mode
Global supplies of rice are facing its most significant shortage in two decades, exacerbating food insecurity fears. Rice is a staple food for over half the world’s population.
