Rice farming in sub-Saharan Africa is producing rising amounts of methane

For those interested, it seems that it’s the flooding of rice fields that are responsible for the majority of the emissions this article is talking about. Something about anaerobic organic matter decay.

I am not an expert, but did some quick googling, and found a site proposing alternate methods of rice growing that reduce methane emissions.

Why is this a problem? Industrialized countries will not cut down on their monstrous emissions per capita but you have an issue with African countries growing food?
