Rice
Why rice is one of the world's staple foods, and what's being done to help production
The first part in a series looking at the world's staple foods. Cultivated in every continent apart from the Antarctic, what are the origins of rice farming? The programme examines how it's grown and harvested, why it remains largely unmechanised as an industry in Asia, and new developments in rice production.
