The World Economic Forum is now targeting one of the most basic—and vital—foods on the planet: rice. Yes, the humble grain that feeds nearly half of humanity is suddenly being painted as a climate villain, and the WEF is determined to make people suffer for it.
At a recent WEF session, World Bank president Ajay Banga made the case clear. “What we have is an existential climate crisis,” he warned, emphasizing the threat of methane—a greenhouse gas he called eighty times more dangerous than carbon dioxide.
Banga didn’t mince words about the solution: a crackdown on rice cultivation. “We’re talking about taking out ten million tonnes of methane by focusing on [rice paddy cultivation], on animal and dairy, and on waste management,” he explained.
Now they're cracking down on rice—a food staple for almost half the world's population—under the guise of "saving the planet". 🤡

Rice, a nutritious and economical staple, is deeply rooted in cultures across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Millions rely on it daily for sustenance, yet the WEF seems to see tradition and survival as secondary concerns.
Under their plan, eating rice might soon carry an environmental guilt tax—or worse, restrictions designed to curb its cultivation.
Critics are sounding the alarm. Reducing rice production, they argue, will hit the most vulnerable communities first, raising food insecurity and hunger while doing little to actually “save the planet.”
Meanwhile, the WEF continues to push its globalist agenda, presenting suffering (and population reduction) as a necessary sacrifice in the fight against climate change.
This isn’t just a dietary recommendation—it’s a war on a culture, a livelihood, and a critical source of nutrition. And make no mistake: the WEF is determined to see it through, no matter the human cost.
