By Jeremy Williams Last year, I wrote about the out-sized carbon footprint of rice , which accounts for almost a quarter of all greenhouse gases from global food production. Half the world eats rice every day, so thats perhaps not surprising. However, theres no question that its much more damaging to the climate than other staple grain crops. Analysis: Climate change drives down yields and nutrition of Indian crops You can look up my previous article to read up on why that is.
