Rice and the Climate Crisis: The significance of reducing food waste as climate change hits rice production

SINGAPORE: Food wastage has been in the crosshairs over the past few years, amid Singapore’s broader ambitions to become zero-waste.

“The proposed saving techniques are already well known and rolled out – buy and cook only what you need, reduce helping size, and so on. But the mindset changes are still not widespread.”David Chen, the co-founder of Golden Sunland, a local rice company, agreed that “the mindset is not there yet”, particularly for rice.

It is why the company currently holds rice-growing programmes at four schools – with the hope of expanding these further. Only open the rice pack when you need to, and do not open multiple packs at once. You should also try to finish the bag of rice within a month.While uncooked rice has a long shelf life, you should still store it properly – ideally in a tightly sealed container in a cool dry place.

But these oils can cause brown rice go bad more quickly than white rice. To avoid this, one should buy smaller quantities, it said. But it added that weevils are not harmful to humans as they are not known to spread any diseases or bite people. If they are present, they should be quickly removed by washing the rice – which can still be consumed after, said SFA.TSP advised keeping stored rice in the freezer for four to five days.

You used to call it Global Warming until that was proved to be a lie. So it became Climate Change until that was also proved to be a lie. Now you say Climate Crisis. Where's the crisis...? Idiots.....
