For many weeks already, there’s been a vibrant discussion about the rice that we eat here in Thailand. As someone who is a very fussy eater - I love knowing where my rice is grown, and don’t eat rice that’s too hard, too old, too crumbly, or too pungent.
In my previous post, I talked about some of the big global issues relating to farmers and food security. In this second post, I’d like to contribute to the debate on how consumers can help influence our food system.
Industrial development, promoted under the National Economic and Social Development Plan, is steadily diminishing the area available for food production, and as these disappear, the tastiness of foods from diverse flavours and local ingredients are also placed under threat.
