Welcome to Season 3, Episode
33. If you assumed that white rice came from Asia, then you’d be
right. But do you know the history of rice cultivation and
domestication? It may have happened 8000 or more years ago. How did
it spread across Asia and the rest of the world? When was rice
introduced in America? In this episode we explore the History of
Rice Cultivation and give you cool facts about how rice is grown.
In our recurring segment we discuss how you can help the people in
Maui. The fires, loss of life, destruction of historic and sacred
lands, and challenges in recovery are just some of the issues the
residents are facing. If you’d like to help, we give you some tips,
but be sure you visit ‘Āina Momona,
Maui
Rapid Response, and the Maui Mutual Aid
Fund for starters. There’s even a
curated list of GoFundMe and Venmo accounts of
residents. For previous episodes and information, please visit our
