The Art Of Discovery

RICE IS LIFE
The Story of Rice is, therefore, a complex comparison
between traditional rice cultivation systems and their
cultures, and the effect of the destruction they have
undergone through the imposition of a predatory in-
dustrial model.
There are numerous stories about the origins of rice.
In Japan it is believed that the Sun-Goddess Am-
atereshu-Omi-Kami was given grains of rice by a
swan flying in heaven. (You see, even in heaven they
couldn't live without agriculture.) The Sun-Goddess
sowed the grain, which sprouted, blossomed and bore
grain.
Significant
As a complex carb, it is the primary source of energy for over
half of the world's people. Depending on the strain of rice, it
can contain decent amounts of fibre, protein, vitamin B, iron
and manganese. This means it can play a vital role against
malnutrition.
Rationale
Rice (genus Oryza) is a plant in the grass family that is a ma-
jor source of food for more than half of the world's human
population. I chose this research to show how valuable rice
is in every person's life.
That's all Thankyou
