"Rice is the most popular food in the world, providing sustenance to more than
3.5 billion people each day.

Rice is deeply embedded in food, daily rituals, language and spirituality. It
is easy to take it for granted.

But where did rice come from? And how did it spread to become the foundation of
global food security?"
