...Rice As a Liberian from West Africa, I ate rice from my childhood days to adulthood. I love to eat rice at any time of the day; morning, noon, evening, and night. I connect my life with rice in so many ways; with my parents, family, friends, education, and the community. As a young child growing up, my parents will take me along with my siblings on the farm with them where we will plant and harvest rice together. Although I was around the age of five years old, but I still remember that we all had some part to play in making sure that there was rice available for the entire family to eat, share with family, and friends, and sell to get money, and buy essential things for the family. The proceeds from the rice was also used to educate us. On the farm, we will all gathered, do our assigned tasks; my task was to pick the unbeaten rice from amongst the beaten rice. I will spot the unbeaten rice, and then put it aside so that it can be beaten again. My older sisters, the twin’s task was to let my parent know if we had certain amount of rice. My brothers’ task was to assist in beating the rice. Our parents’ tasks were to perform all of the tasks, and at the same time oversee them. We named ourselves the picker, the counters, the beaters, and overseer respectively. Once our assigned tasks are complete, and the goal of the day is met, we then sit together around the camp fire during meals time, and eat together while connecting with each other through conversation. The children...

Rice became the staple crop for the southern coastal regions of South Carolina. The rice fields were built by African slaves brought to the low country for this specific purpose. They taught the white plantation owners how to make this crop thrive. It made many white men rich. The rice fields were great works of art. “Historical archeologists have found evidence from records that the embankments were six or more feet tall and 15 feet wide.

...Rice-fish farming systems in China Both rice and fish cultivation have long histories in Asia, where many species and varieties of each originated and were first developed for human use. Fish can be raised in rice fields, either concurrently with the rice crop or in rotation with rice. Ricefish farming can also be practised at different intensities. Not only do rice-fish systems use one habitat to produce both an important grain and a protein resource, but they also promote some very beneficial interactions: rice plants provide shade for fish, while fish oxygenate the water. The systems also minimize risks for resource-poor farmers, protect natural resources and promote biodiversity. As world rice production increases, so too does the adoption of rice-fish farming systems. THE SITUATION THE SITUATION Rice is the dominant staple crop of tropical Asia, where it has a long history of domestication and a rich diversity of cultivated ecotypes based on three types of Oryza sativa (indica, japonica and javanica), which are cultivated in different agro-ecological zones for their differing growth, grain and yield characteristics. There are four basic rice agro-ecosystems in China, each with its own peculiar edaphic conditions: irrigated ecosystems, terrace ecosystems, lowland rainfed ecosystems, and flood-prone (very deep water) ecosystems. In addition, many freshwater fish species originated in tropical Asia, especially carps, catfishes and air-breathing fishes. In China there...

...RICE AND BULLETS Hernando R. Ocampo Without taking his breakfast, Tura left the house very early in the morning with an old jute sack slung across his shoulder. Long ago the sack had contained rice for his family—for his daughters Ine and Clara, for his little son Totoy, and for his wife Marta. But now the jute sack was bulging with the sharp, hard edges of three big stones which he had gathered the night before. "What are those stones for"? Marta asked. "Mister Remulla said we must have three big stones in our sack. He said these stones would represent the three biggest islands in our country," Tura explained. "What are you going to do with them?" Marta asked. "I don't know," Tura answered, seemingly peeved. “Mister Remulla said that with these stones we'll soon have something to eat, and that is all I care about. He told us we ought not to be hungry. We have as much right to eat and live as the proprietarious have." Marta had ceased to ask further questions. At the mention of rice she had suddenly seemed satisfied. But this morning, before Tura left, she asked again, "Are you sure there will be no trouble?" "How could there be? Mister Remulla knows what he is doing. He said that is what they do in America. He came from America. He ought to know." And slinging the jute sack with the big stones across his shoulder, Tura left his wife on the threshold, while his three children, ill-clad and ill-nourished, looked sheepishly on. Out in the street Tura wondered how things...

Making is a craft, like how boxing craft. I am very dedicated on making the best possible rice there is. Making it is a simple four step process, but first you need the materials. The material you need is very important in this process, because without it there is no way on making rice the efficient way. The material you will need is a rice cooker, the rice/water cup, water, and rice. The very first step in making rice, is getting the rice bag, the rice cup, and the rice cooker. If the rice cooker is not clean it is important to wash it. If you do not clean it thoroughly you and the people who will eat the rice may get sick.(you can get sued) Once you have clean the rice cooker, it is important to make sure that their is no soap residue inside the rice cooker, because if the body consume the soapy liquid, you may end up using the bathroom. Step two is using the rice/water on scooping the rice. Now with the rice that you have (preferably jasmine rice or japanese rice) scoop up the desirable amount.

...Introduction: Rice is the staple food and the largest consumed calorie source among the food grains. With a per capital availability of 73.8 kg it meets 31% of the total calorie requirement of the population. Apart from rice milling, processing of rice bran for oil extraction is also an important agro processing activity for value addition, income and employment generation and make the entire production of rice a viable. Many of the rice processing units are of the traditional huller type and are inefficient. Modern rice mills are having high capacity and are capital intensive, although efficient. Small modern rice mills have been developed by us and are available in the market but the lack of information is a bottleneck in its adoption by the prospective entrepreneur. The present model will go a long way in bridging the information gap. Description of Rice Milling Operation: Paddy in its raw form cannot be consumed by human beings. It needs to be suitably processed for obtaining rice. Rice milling is the process which helps in removal of hulls and barns from paddy grains to produce polished rice. Rice forms the basic primary processed product obtained from paddy and this is further processed for obtaining various secondary and tertiary products. The basic rice milling processes consist of: Process Definition 1. Pre Cleaning: Removing all impurities and unfilled grains from paddy 2. De-stoning: Separating small stones from paddy 3.
