Italian Rice Production: Making Rice More Resilient
Channel: FoodUnfolded
Date: 2020-09-21

Italy hosts a unique "library of rice" that contains over 1500 varieties. We visited Ente Nazionale Risi to learn how researchers are using this Italian rice genetic heritage to cross-breed new rice species. Their goal: changing Italian rice production and making rice more nutritious and resilient to withstand environmental and climate changes.
