Introduction, 소개

Rice is a fundamental crop that sustains millions of people worldwide, particularly in Asia where it is a dietary staple. While rice provides nourishment and livelihoods, it is essential to understand the broader implications of its production and consumption. This blog aims to shed light on the environmental challenges, such as greenhouse gas emissions, water scarcity, and land degradation, as well as the social dynamics surrounding rice farming communities.

쌀은 전 세계, 특히 쌀이 주식인 아시아에서 수백만 명의 사람들을 지탱하는 기본 작물입니다. 쌀은 영양과 생계를 제공하지만, 쌀의 생산과 소비에 대한 보다 광범위한 의미를 이해하는 것이 중요합니다. 이 블로그에서는 온실가스 배출, 물 부족, 토지 황폐화 등의 환경 문제와 쌀 농업 공동체를 둘러싼 사회적 역학 관계에 대해 조명하고자 합니다.
