Features: In Japan, rice is not produced by farmers; instead, the entire rice supply relies on imports from other countries. If climate anomalies or international conflicts occur, leading to difficulties in food supply, what should we do? Moreover, if Japanese paddy fields continue to disappear, what will happen to the mountains and rivers that have formed and developed alongside these paddy fields, continuing to this day? This book is a part of the scientific illustration series "Rice," featuring numerous exquisite photographs and concise text to introduce the world of rice and tell the fascinating story of this grain. The book is rich in content, visually engaging, easy to understand, and combines scientific rigor, knowledge, and fun, making it an excellent popular science read suitable for readers of all ages.
