Rice is the world s most important food (in calories consumed it s number one) but also the most beautiful. Whether it s dropping down a hillside in the Philippines, China or Indonesia, each step a little masterpiece of artistic perfection, or sweeping across laser-leveled bays in pancake-flat Australia, it s always stunning.Every step from field to plate has a story to tell of planting, growing, harvesting, processing, trading, consuming or simply celebrating.Scientifically rice was a keystone in the 1960s green revolution, the great leap forward which banished the centuries old spectre of famine in Asia. Rice Trails tells the fascinating story.
