This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Doesn't the husk stay in the country of origin?
Sorry, I phrased that weirdly.
Japan produces ~7.4 million tons of rice annually.
Japan self sustains its rice needs with only ~7 million tons is distributed domestically.
They also already have a waste repurpose project that eliminates ~2 million tons of their husk waste.
