Aiming to revolutionize the food industry from the ground up, Enrich Foods, a Columbia Grain International company, underscores the importance of starting with quality ingredients. Rice, serving as the primary staple for over half of the global population according to USDA, faces a dilemma. Traditional rice cultivation methods, often involving flooded paddies, contribute significantly to methane emissions. By 2030, these conventional practices are projected to contribute 23% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions.
In response, farmers are embracing innovative techniques to grow rice sustainably, conserving water and mitigating emissions. Great River Milling, cultivated in the heartland of America, represents a pivotal step forward in eco-conscious farming. This approach not only benefits the environment but also yields rice that’s healthier for consumers, as noted by registered dietitian Kaytee Hadley (MS, RDN, IFMCP).
