你知道吗?你每吃三碗饭,就有一碗是用掉整个淋浴2小时的水量种出来的!这颗养活全球一半人口的白色小颗粒,正在以意想不到的方式改变地球气候——从日本神社的祭祀稻穗,到印度婴儿的初食仪式,从西班牙海鲜饭的铁锅到甲烷排放的热浪,人类用一万年将野生杂草驯化成文明基石,却也可能被它推进气候危机的泥潭。本期我们将揭开:为什么说水稻田是隐形温室气体炸弹?非洲古稻与AI监测技术如何联手拯救未来饭碗?点击收听,重新认识你筷尖上的一粒人类史诗。

While 3.5 billion people rely on rice daily, few realize this ancient grain accounts for 12% of human-caused methane emissions – equivalent to all the world's airplanes combined. From the sacred Annaprashan rituals in Nepal to the high-tech 'alternate wetting' fields in Vietnam, we're tracing rice's 10,000-year journey: 

  • How did a tropical grass conquer every continent? 
  • Why does your sushi habit affect polar ice caps? 
  • And can AI-powered water sensors rewrite the future of our staple food? 

Join us as we explore the climate paradox hidden in every grain.
