Today's much-lauded site, produced by the International Rice
Institute, in conjunction with a number of rice organizations,
provides an interesting look at a grain which has sustained more
people for a longer period than any other crop. Readers will
discover extensive material on this essential,
produced-around-the-world food.

"A compendium of facts and figures from the world of rice. ...
Everything you want to know about one of the world's longest
running cereals: the
history of rice, where and how it is grown, recipes, and much
more." - from the website

The site presents comprehensive coverage on topics dealing with
the history of rice, along with general information; how it grows
and feeds the world; the geography of its production; research;
the environments of rice farms; and terminology and literature.
Not to be missed among all the facts, figures and science is the
admirable "Rice photo voyage" in the Environments section.
