Abstract

The four subjects which we human beings are going to face and negotiate toward the 21st century are population, food, energy and environment.
In this paper, rice is recommended and proposed as one of the most valuable key resources for the purpose of achieving sustainable development.
To able to understand how rice could be usefully utilized as food, energy and environmental resource was discussed in addition to the role played by rice plant in absorbing carbon dioxide produced.
