What does the farmer do? What hapens after harvesting? How are they processed and, finally, how do we eat them? Comparisons are made between the needs of the crop with our needs as humans for nutrition. Why are these foods good for us?Each program features a cartoon animal that prompts children to question or ponder the issues raised.Today: A rice farmer and his children show how they grow rice, from land preparation, irrigation, sowing seeds to harvesting the crop.
