How Rice Took Over Nepal (and why it is a problem)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มี.ค. 2023
- Rice/Bhat is our main staple diet in Nepal. There's hardly any day where we do not consume rice. But the interesting thing is we did not consume rice like this always. Our love for rice is very recent.
But we import most of our rice from India creating a massive trade deficit and also recent studies have shown that rice may not be the most healthy and nutritious crop. But how did we reach here?
How did this one crop that was just consumed by people from upper class, and some limited families became such a important part of our diet? This is the story of Rice.

As per My mother and her family they used to eat rice on the Dashain only , the main food was Dhindo at that time and Rice is considered as food of Rich.

As a agriculture student, i have studied the whole topic about the rice and the system of cultivation that you mentioned in this video but i got to know so many missing information about rice just now from your video.. this video is going to be so helpful for me i think during my presentation session and also helps me alot to be a excellent graduate. Thanks man
Don't just graduate brother Please Change in agricultural system
Afu or TU ?
Bijay Roka brother lets recruit.. what do you say?
yes bro, das bara barsa purano note phadera ag phade paxi testai ho : D
I am also agriculture student of class 10 there is a subject food crop production in which we learn how to increase the production of rice,maize,barley and other crops
Heyo I’m a Nepali who’s been brought up abroad & I don’t understand everything but I’d love to learn more about Nepal!!!! Any chance you can add subtitles for future videos? Maybe it’ll reach a wider audience too 🫶🫶 love the work you’re doing!
A Nepali and you don't understand everything..what a hoax!
Most Japanese Americans I’ve met speak fluent Japanese and so do Koreans , Japanese and Mexicans. It’s only the Nepali parents who don’t eat their kids to speak nepali and rather learn English and French lol .
@@user-ti8zv1zg7t I mean what’s so wrong about trying to learn?
@@nirch8230 You sound like you don’t have a lot of experience with other people if your world view is limited to only that………
@@ssun2553 Yes not as much as yours. I have been unfortunate to live in 4 different countries as of now so yeah, totally not a lot of experience

I hadn't expected that tendency to eat rice over other cereals affects our economy and lifestyle significantly. Thanks for bringing many hidden knowledge and information about rice to our awareness❤
तपाईंले एकदम सही विषयमा भिडियो बनाउनु हुन्छ, मैले धेरै अघि देखि यो विषयमा सोच्न गर्थे
Ohh my god, is this a freaky coincidence?
I was researching why my family got diabetics all of sudden in the last 2 generations and the culprit i found was rice.
It's been a week since I changed my family's diet to that mostly consisting of kodo (millets).
And we can already see the changes,
Blood sugar which was around 140, now hovers around 100-105 for my diabetic mom.
I too feel less hungry, more energetic and my bowel movements are regular and easier.
Rice has helped in the population boom but it isn't sustainable for the long term. I wish other youths like me also made the shift to millets, barley or oats.
This would inevitably make us more self sufficient, one family at a time.
Cheers and as superb video as usual team.
what can be the best alternative for rice on daily consumption? Other than MIllets and wheats
@@makadoxvsdk9530 well as stated in the video, what is available in your region?
The best one for health benefits is millets
You can also consume whole grains instead of refined grains.
There are plenty of choices but for you, need more information.
@@makadoxvsdk9530 Chickpea (chana) is pretty good alternative, more protein and fiber than rice and enough carbs. Also, soya chunks is another good one. Lots of protein and lots of fiber and almost no carb.
buckwheat
ok thanks for suggestion
English subtitle should be added in your every content.. these videos are not only for information but you are pointing us the real problem and where we are lacking to improve our economy... these kind of research should be done by our government official to improve country but who cares here ?? Good job.. keep going
Yes I am from India and could only understand half of the video. I whould love to understand these videos.
Best video dai ....❤❤❤❤

Buckwheat and millets needs to make a comeback in our diet
Imagine having all three, but the rice isn't processed
@@Zeni-th. personally prefer wheat over rice
Much needed video! Have been tired of explaining to people why we should not prioritize eating rice only for various reasons mentioned above. Sending this to all 🙂
As an agriculture graduate
i really appreciated what you have explain
nepal government should must think about the food security
local products should must be promoted people often ignore these foods but they are the future of foods
every body must act together to solve future uncertain problems
Hello, I am Food technologist myself. I totally agree, I hope we can talk in person?

what a content.
really loving this..
we used rice everyday but know nothing about the rice history in Nepal...
hopes such unique content in further day too..
we can replace rice with millet as it has various advantages.
1. Nutritionally better
2. Can be cultivated in even less fertileable land as compared to rice. (Because of desertification and and deteriorating soil is a huge global issue it is claimed to be the food of 21st century).
3. consumes and requires very very less water.(as you said we nepal depend almost entirely on rainfall on raice cultivation and decreasing ground water level is the exponentially rising global issue).
4. Can help us to minimize trade deficit.
Please make one video on it. Thank you so much
Quality content. Keep up the good work man. Kudos to the intense research and hard work of your whole team. Subscribers/viewers harule dherai kura sikna payeko chan timiharuko channel bata and this is for the better. I wish you guys good luck and thank you for all that you do to educate people.

अचम्म लाग्न सक्छ तर आलु, मकै, बन्दा, काउली, टमाटर पनि ब्रिटिश र पोर्चुगीजहरुले युरोप र अमेरिकाबाट भारतमा भित्र्याएपछि मात्र नेपालमा खान थालिएका हुन्।

Yes! केही दशकअघि ढिँडो रोटीलाई गरिबको र भात लाई सम्पन्न(धनी) को खानकीका रुपमा बुझिन्थ्यो र भातप्रति मोह बढ्यो; जसको दुष्परिणाम मधुमेह लगायतका आजका रोग हुन्। मासु-रक्सीका फोटो सामाजिक संजालमा देख्दा लाग्छ भोलि भातकै नियतिमा पुग्नेछ यो।
समस्या, कारण र समाधान सहितको भिडियो छ। 🙏🏽
भात खान छाडेर मकै, कोदो फापर खान थाल्न भन्नु ब्यवहारिक रुपमा तत्कालै सम्भव नहुन सक्छ र आदर्शका कुरा हुन जान्छ। र चामल जुन धेरै नेपालीले bran (ढुटो) २ पटक निकालेको निख्खर सेतो खान्छौं भने त्यसले अत्यधिक कार्बोहाईड्रेड प्रदान गर्छ।
समाधानकोलागि ढुटो ननिकालेको मिनरल्स सहितको ब्राउन राईस(खैरो चामल) वा एकपटक मात्र ढुटो निकालेको(half brown rice) खान सक्छौं र दुवै छाक भात खानुको सट्टा एक छाक पिठोजन्य खाना खान सक्छौँ । मधुमेहको खतरा यसरी कम गर्न सकिन्छ तत्काललाई।
Wooo Daju

i've been watching you since you were below 1K subscribers
SO glad to see your Progress
Keep Going!!!😍😍
Loved this informative content. Excellent work. 👍👍👍
This content must be rewarded ❤️
All aspiring agriculture professionals,students, must bring back lost products they know how
This is why doctors, researchers been saying why rice is not so so beneficial because our gene hasn't adopted much
Your gene has not adopted to maize, wheat or barley either...😂😂
@@vinayadhikari5413 yeah i agree. this logic makes 0 sense. Rice only came about 5000 years ago, probably introduced to Nepal within last 3000 years. Around the same as other millets. No where near long enough to make millets or buckwheat more favorable than rice.
Finally sponsor aayo hai 👏

Just wanna say you are doing a phenomenal job which gonna have really good impact on ppl

Keep making these content.. Such an eye opener ❤
Dhan li herna tarika mero farak banyo aes video la thank u for helping video ❣️❣️
Finally my fav channel got sponsored 🎉❤❤❤ lots of love 😎 Dipesh dai
One of the very important points you highlighted out was the traditional method of rice cultivation which does not provide much yield. One of the major issues are the big number of Nepalese farmers who are leggards (they just don't want to adapt new techniques and technologies). It's one of the most uncared problem in terms of production in Nepal. Government should do something about this
Glad that you are getting sponsors. I also noticed you are reading The Kathmandu Dilemma I read it a while ago and I feel they are trying to cover up some of the foreign missions and its consequences. Because the things that the author says in the book contradict with things I have read else where.

I think we as Nepalese can't do without rice now. It is a staple in all households. We know its bad to our health and to top it off its extremely bad for our environment. I mean it , its really bad. I just hope we find a good substitute before its too late.
There are plenty of alternatives actually, and you don't have to shuft diet all at once. Maybe once a week, or every couple days, replace one bhat meal with dhido or roti made from darker grains like millet, buckwheat, and barley. And from there, gradually shift you and your family's diet to what you feel comfortable. That's what my family did, my mom started making kodo and phapar ko roti every few days, and we all like it more than rice.
Yes hajur i can't eat anything accept rice . Masu baat is compulsory during dasai for me

Rice is probably the cheapest starch / grain in the market right now. As you said, inhabitants of a low income country like ours will almost always prioritize price and availability over all other factors. There has been a slight increase in the consumption of non-rice grains, yes. I attribute this to great marketing and awareness, bringing diverse grains and legumes from remote parts of the country into metro cities and ease of delivery via online platforms. Then there are "Thakali" style restaurants bringing dhindo to the masses, to people who've never had anything apart from wheat and rice their whole lives.
But most of the people eat these alternative grains once in a while, for a change perhaps. Their prices overall are still too high and the rampant ballooning of rice brands is STILL overshadowing alternative grains.
Government needs to step in, in association with private companies and rural cooperatives to do these things:
1. Plant high yielding grains that are naturally suited to their environments, like in the era before rice.
2. Adopt modern farming, harvesting and processing techniques to increase the yield and reduce costs.
3. Give incentives to farmers to grow crops that they should've been growing in the first place.
4. Award Geographic Indicator status to natively grown crops.
5. Market the local grains aggressively, add it to the menu of public and private schools as well as government institutions.
6. Make sure the price is low enough to be enjoyed as a staple starch by the poorest people and at the same time, make it appear healthier and glamorous for the rich.
This can be done, diet can be changed over time but the government needs to be serious about it.
Make a video about how much you make from TH-cam or how much TH-cam pays in Nepal.
you content and way of representation is very nice..liked it...good work ... please keep making such informative content about our nepal ... nepali and history.. other than politics... ... good luck

The one food we hate and love but still eat
I understand Nepali little little
Traditional way of pounding brown rice is best with fibres n vitamin on the brown part while through milling it removed the important brown skin leaving on the whitish starch ❤
My parents always talk about how they always ate makai ko aato/dhido or roti and dhidos on daily basis.. Bhat khani vaneko ta chad parwa ani pahuwa auda ho re and it was really special that time re... and mind you my parents are in late 40s lol... Still feels surreal that rice wasn't our normal meal
