'''Rice''' (''Oryza sativa'') is a plant of the [[Poaceae|grass]] family, which feeds more than half of the world's human population. Rice cultivation is well suited to poor countries, as it is very labor-intensive but can be grown practically anywhere plenty of water is available for [[irrigation]], even on [[grade (geography)|steep]] [[mountain|hill]]sides.
Rice is the world's third largest crop, behind [[maize]] and [[wheat]] — both of which have significant uses outside of [[human nutrition]].
