“Rethink Your Rice” Campaign Encourages Greater
Water Awareness and Offers 25% Off On Long Grain White and Brown

Enrich Foods, a Columbia Grain International company, believes
good food starts from the ground up. Rice is the primary staple
food for more than half the world's population (USDA). However,
traditional rice growing methods involve fully flooded rice paddies
and produces high levels of methane. By 2030, conventional rice
farming practices are estimated to account for 23% of agriculture’s
contribution to global warming (1). One earth-friendly solution –
farmers are changing the way they grow rice to save water and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
