Rice supplies over one-fifth of humanity's calories, filling plates from Indian biryani to Spanish paella. Its global spread began thousands of years ago, with independent domestication across Asia, Africa, and South America. While rice thrives in flooded fields that boost yields, this method consumes a third of the world's irrigation water and fuels about 12% of human-caused methane emissions. Sustainable practices like alternate wetting and drying offer hope for feeding the world while helping the planet.
