Rice is the staple food of more than
half of the world's population. The production, processing and management
of paddy rice have provided the basic conditions for the living
of mankind. The production of rice has not only created employment
opportunities for one billion agricultural population in developing
nations, but has also contributed to the development of the splendid
culture associated with rice production. Hence, effective and productive
rice systems play an influential role in development of economy
and improvement of quality of life. In view of this, on 16 December,
2002, the UN General Assembly declared the year of 2004 the International
Year of Rice.
To further promote sustainable development of paddy rice as well
as to celebrate the International Year of Rice and World Food Day,
with approval and support by The Ministry of Agriculture of China
and The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China National
Rice Research Institute and Beijing Green Vision Ecosciences Inc.
