Rice is a mainstay of food security for more than half of the global population. For thousands of years, rice as a staple food has provided mainly calories for the human population, and it has been produced with heavy resources and environmental costs, especially in recent decades. Based on the development of Green Super Rice (GSR), which aims to greatly reduce pesticides, fertilizers, irrigation and other resources in rice production while providing high yield and quality [1], we propose to modify the deeply rooted conventions by developing Green Nutritious Super Rice (GNSR) to enhance human nutrition and health. Here we outline the concept, goals, and potential significance, and suggest a technical strategy for developing GNSR assuming the prototype of whole grain black rice (WGBR).
