      I'm trained as rice specialist here in the Philippines under Philippine Rice Research Institute, I'm currently working at Agricultural Training Institute as training specialist handling organic agriculture program. One of my training is on Organic rice production, im in 14 years in organic industry and assisting several Filipino organic rice producer in area of our office coverage.

    We Asians can't survive without rice 3times a day, we are thought at a young age that to never spoil just a single leftover rice grain, for it is the blood, sweat, tears of a farmer, quoted by my great-grandparents... planting rice is difficult, back-breaking and labor-intensive, in my village farmers needs to borrow money just to plant rice and if the harvest season failed due to pest or drought, they are all decimated.. that's why I KUDOS to those rice farmers...

    I'm sorry, but I am very disappointed at this one for not giving the complete picture about low land rice, because they are carbon sinks. You skipped how wetlands with the same anaerobic process becomes the biggest and the most efficient natural carbon sequestration sinks.
    Not all paddy is environmentally destructive. There are both Wetland varieties/ low land varieties of rice and dryland varieties of rice. It is only destructive when lowland varieties are grown in flooded terraces in highlands, which doesn't naturally have Wetland conditions. Infact it is ideal for low lying land which are below sea level and are naturally flooded constantly.
    Also the methane produced from water logging is not released into the atmosphere. Instead low land rice paddies does the same and sequester carbon within the soil as methane. That is how of improving soil health by increase the organic matter makes it a carbon sink.
    Low land paddy fields are carbon sinks, and they are protected by the same environmental laws that protect mangroves for the same reason. It is actually illegal to level a lowland paddy field and use it for anything else.
    You have a huge audience and if this half knowledge catch fire and all low land paddy cultivation gets miscategorizedand wrongfully villified to be the same the flooded steppe paddies in highland, all those farmers of low land paddies who do an important job of preserving carbon sinks, would lose their business as well.
    You can do a better job at promoting American agriculture, without making such a costly mistake for environment
    P.S. If my comment catches anybody's attention, please google 'lowland paddy fiels and carbon sequestration'

    • @AmaraEmerson
      @AmaraEmerson 2 роки тому +4

      You’re completely ignoring the fact that lowland rice fields do not necessarily act as net CH4 sinks, and CH4 has 25 times more greenhouse effect than CO2. Not only that, carbon sequestration unless you have peat soils, has a finite capacity and over time will reach a steady state even if it was sequestering.

    Thanks Nicole for making this video, as a little kid growing up in India back in the 80's and 90's I used to see the immense rice fields flooded with water, and I never knew why it was like that until today, we just took it for granted that it is what it is and sadly no one realizes the impact it has, I still remember when we used to go for vacation to our ancestral places where rice was harvested in the villages, the day of the harvest was so much fun in the sense that I used to climb up on the hand cut plants being hauled in bullock carts and then beaten by hand to separate the rice seeds to boiling them in vast mounds to make it ready :) I probably can still smell it with my eyes closed, 30 years on , here in NJ looking at this video it made me so nostalgic, thanks again for the video !!

    I appreciate your HDIG series! I especially appreciate your meticulous research. I'm a science teacher, so hopefully, you will take this point in the spirit it is given, with the intent of fact dissemination. The term "chemical-free" should not be used because everything, except the vacuum of space, is a chemical, including you and me! (we're basically a sac of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen slung over a calcium-phosphorus enriched frame). A better term would be synthetic chemical-free, referring to man-made chemicals, such as pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer, or growth hormones. Keep up the good work!

It's just that when you're pressed for time (no one's going to sit and watch an hour-long episode on rice), you have to choose when to use a colloquial meaning vs a technical one. Know what I mean? That said, I will take it into consideration in the future. Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback!

    This episode was definitely worth waiting for. It has a slightly different feel about it than previous episodes because of the history bytes. And for me, the most interesting part was growing the rice on unused portions of people's properties. You don't often see a beautiful home on a hill with a well manicured lawn terminated by a small monoculture farm plot.

    • @nguyentuan1990

      the methane is misleading, once you harvest the seed and have the tiler decompose, it also releases methane. Not much different than under water.

    This was very informative. Thanks for sharing! I've loved these episodes for years. I am a fan of sustainability and being environmentally-friendly. At the same time, it's important to recognize some modern inventions/renovations of how processes are performed (e.g. growing and harvesting crops) helped get food to much more people in less time and with less energy input. It's not all bad to have industrialized systems. I appreciate us getting back to nature (I love nature myself.), but I'm not sure most people want to spend the time and energy it takes to do what it takes to grow your own food, especially when you are going back to methods such as harvesting early so the birds won't eat your entire yield. Just throwing that out there. Not to mention, before rice, it's cows that's produce the most methane. So, we can talk about rice and improving its environmental footprint. However, just by reducing our meat intake, we are making a larger difference than by making large investments to alter the rice industry.

    One of the benefits to growing in this manner is all that shade produced by the rice will help keep water in which may require less. That's probably why he can get away with just drip irrigating. I didn't know rice couldn't be grown without a patty. Pretty cool, now I want to try it myself.

    @gentlemanfarmer6042 2 роки тому +1

    For people saying that the way you harvest the rice, depends say on the person vs. the rice is wrong.....
    The "Dry" method vs "Wet" method depends on the species of rice.
    Upland vs Lowland Species, it's not just one species of "Domestic Rice" , it's several, based on a few origin locations in the world.
    Older species of Long Grain Rice, such as "Carolina Gold" are def better off in a "Wet" method. And in most Asian Countries, that use flooding there is a symbiotic relationship with "Mosquito Fern" or Azolla Plant.
    This plant, reduces CO2 and other gasses in the atmosphere..it works sort of like legumes.
    Look up the "Azolla Event", these plants helped cause the Ice Age.
    I don't understand, I love this channel it usually backs up and confirms, older more sustainable methods of Agriculture....such as the various kinds of grains, and the bread they make.
    I say this because in most of the Asian Countries, these farmers don't worry about the methane, because the Azolla and the relationship they have in paddies with the rice. Not to mention that rice paddies in China have been around so long, they are there own ecosystems, with species now, that only exist in the flooded paddies now.

    I was surprised and a little disappointed there was no mention of "The One-Straw Revolution" or anything about Masanobu Fukuoka at all. That's another great story about a much earlier realization that there was a better way than flooded paddy rice farming, from the early 1900's. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the historical research I did related to Fukuoka.

    I am waiting in earnest for Part 2. When would be the release date? Nasirahk Amen's method of rice farming uses a fraction of rice seed, and because it does not flood the paddies, flame weeding can be used requiring a lot less labor.

    From what company did you purchase that harvester? I know Japan does a lot of small scale intensive farming, so it doesn't surprise me they have a machine like this.

    Swamp gas is a known thing in saturated soils. This is not unnatural.. Might as well grow some rice out of the deal.

    Oh there's the still Salt mines in Avery Island by New Iberia, which the original hot sauce came from,, called Tabasco Sauce. Where you would love a field day there. They used fix Bloody Marie's there. And you can surely get a hot link, which even if hit, you'll still want another bite. And yes boudin. Crawfish Boudin is my favored.
    Which crawfish farming is there but are mostly fished. Oh, alligator harvesting and farming. The fellow there has great insights! Where I wish I had my homestead I had planned.
    The fellow does know what he's talking about! He's right, very right.

    there's a study about reducing the green house methane that cows produce by having them to eat seaweed, can we grow rice in the sea or pump that water into rice fields to prevent the weeds and the methane that comes from it's decomposition? We will have to get with the government to help these farmers afford the equipment they need as the big boys will not come down on the price nor scale down the equipment.

    Here in California rice is grown at the expense of fish and wildlife, our salmon are disappearing, the pesticides are killing birds.
