Climate Change Causes Decline in Rice Quality Across East Asia, New Study Suggests
A recent study highlights a decline in rice quality across East Asia due to climate change. Using 35 years of data, researchers found that rising nighttime temperatures significantly reduce the head rice rate (HRR), especially in Japan and China. The study also identifies solar radiation, precipitation changes, and vapor pressure as contributing fa...
