From China to Liverpool, rice has been a staple for centuries. In 1975, a powerful poster in China urged peasants to rely on their own hard work instead of the gods. Meanwhile, on Wando Island, a line of determined women braved flooded paddy fields to plant this precious grain. Even in Walton Hospital, Liverpool, the importance was recognized as it provided nourishment and sustenance for patients. And it's not just one type - spelt, buckwheat, and rice all offer unique flavors and nutritional benefits. In the breathtaking Bangaan village nestled within the rice terraces of Banaue in Northern Luzon, Philippines; ancient farming techniques have created awe-inspiring landscapes that seem straight out of prehistoric times. Across borders in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma), dedicated farmers tirelessly cultivate their paddies with water buffalo by their side – an age-old tradition that connects them deeply with nature. Traveling further east to Bali's Jatiluwih Green Land reveals palm trees harmoniously coexisting with lush rice terraces – a testament to Indonesia's rich agricultural heritage. Speaking of terraces, Bali is also home to its iconic Rice Terraces where generations have cultivated this crop using sustainable methods passed down through time. And let's not forget Japan. A Japanese woman skillfully cooking up a delicious meal showcases how integral rice is to their cuisine – whether it be sushi or steaming bowls of comforting goodness. Rice truly unites cultures around the world as both sustenance and symbol. It represents self-sufficiency in China while embodying resilience amidst challenging conditions on Wando Island. From ancient farming practices in Southeast Asia to modern hospital meals in Europe - this humble grain continues its journey through time.
