One Tonne of Carbon per Year 
I never considered the relative carbon cost of various grains before. Is rice high carbon because it is imported or because of its processing? Your blog is a wonderful source, thank you.

Hi Katy, Yes Rice is high carbon because of production. Methane from paddy fields and /or high use of fertiliser rather than transport.
Mike Berners-Lee covers rice carbon footprint on page 89 of ‘How Bad are Bananas’
2.5kg CO2e per kilo efficiently produced
4 Kg CO2e per kilo ( average)
6.1Kg per kilo (inefficient production with excessive use of nitrogen fertiliser)
As a comparison wheat, barley, rye around 0.7Kg CO2e per kilo
