We should grow rice here
#1
Interesting idea, I didn't know we import so much rice & according to Yuki Fukada its a zero waste crop, you can make rope, bags, even houses from it.

Absolutely. Margaret Visser's book Much Depends on Dinner has an intriguing chapter covering the way rice cultivation has been responsible for the social and population structures of the countries it has historically been produced in. Well worth a read.
