Firstly, the rice supply chain involves a lot of parties, namely, farmers, paddy brokers, wholesalers, BULOG and rice millers. If this study focus on a farmer, for instance, the impacts of climate change on other parties may not be understood well. Secondly, rice farming has a high contribution to economic growth. This means that rice is important for employment and economic activity (BPS, 2013). As climate change could affect the rice supply chain, climate change could affect…

In general these two regions are considered to be separate from each other when being taught to students and other scholars. However, some scholars and historians would argue that the Carolina Lowcountry and the islands of the Caribbean could be considered as one region, the “Greater Caribbean”. This distinction cannot be better inscribed than in the book Hubs of Empire by Matthew Mulcahy.…
Rice-Wheat Farming Adaptation to Agro-ecosystem and Weather The rice-wheat farming system in the Indo-Gangetic plain occupies 13.5 M ha of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. In India rice-wheat farming system is the major source of food security as it produces 85% of cereal in 10 M ha. Initially large scale cultivation of in the North-western Indo-gangetic plain was wheat and Eastern Indo gangetic plain was rice due to the favourable climate. The adaptation and expansion of Rice-Wheat…

Italian-ness, rice and risotto are relatively new introductions to Italian cuisine. Rice has a long history of domestication in Asia and was not brought to Italy for several thousand years after being domesticated (P. Huang et al. 2012, X. Huang et al. 2012).
