- Why rice crops could be in for a weird year
El Niño weather patterns and the climate crisis are causing extreme dry, hot conditions that could lead to a significant drop in global rice production.

Investments in agricultural technologies like irrigation and drought-resistant rice strains may help mitigate the impact.
