China Invents Rice That Can Grow in Salt Water, Can Feed Over 200 Million People

Scientists in China succeeded in growing the yield of a strain of saltwater-tolerant rice nearly three times their expectation.

In the spring months, over 200 types of rice were planted at the Saline-Alkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center in Qingdao, a coastal city in eastern China’s Shandong Province. Seawater from the Yellow Sea was pumped, diluted and channeled into the rice paddies. Researchers initially expected an output of around 4.5 tons per hectare, but surprised themselves when four types registered 6.5 to 9.3 tons per hectare.

This could be a problem... Not quite sure how the US is supposed to respond. I suppose we could engineer a blight that attacks this new rice; but there is always the risk that it could jump over to the regular rice crop, and have an adverse effect on our export profits.

Finally a rice you don't have to add soy sauce or salt for flavoring...

I don't see a problem at all, 200 million isn't even close to the population of China. Who will get the salty rice and who will continue to starve? With liberalism, it is all about winners and losers...

Not an honest headline.

There used to be a joke about the difference between a communist and a capitalist. They are both jealous because a neighbor has a new cow that gives more milk they theirs do. The capitalist goes out and buys some of the same breed of cows. The communist kills the neighbors cows.

Now I see Vastator's comment representing how the US 'Conservatives' now think like Communists. They now only admire the communists, they wish to act in the same manner.

LOL You really think that they will not sell that to anyone that has the money? Russia tried to keep the russian red wheat from other nations, did not work. And, as the sea level rises, that rice will be a god send to many nations. Instead of acting like ignorant wretches like the treasonous fat senile old orange clown, we should be looking at solutions like this to what is already in the pipeline for the immediate future from the GHGs we are putting into the atmosphere.

You do realize that that 200 million people that will eat the rice, will cause more CO2? Wont that cause more Global Warming, from the communist country of China? Why do you libfucks hate US who have lowered our CO2 but love the commies who produce more?

Link? Care to show that this rice will increase the amount of GHGs in the atmosphere?
 
sometimes the people aren't starving because they can't grow/produce food
there are other variables--war/conflict for one--Somalia just one perfect example...and other African nations
federal laws/federal involvement
 
There is one word that makes me concerned about this product. Did anyone else notice the word "diluted"?

If you dilute saltwater, what do you dilute it with? Fresh water of course! Where is that water coming from?

People living along the ocean in a desert have plenty of saltwater, but zero fresh water.

This may help feeding the billions around the world, but it's not a quick fix or cure all.

Your comprehension of my statement fully fulfills my geusstimation of your intellectual capacity.

Then there's the dilemma of dumping saltwater into a freshwater environment... So many hazardous potential consequences that ignoramuses like Old Rocks, are oblivious too...
