Short summary
We created long-term, high-resolution maps of rice-growing areas in South and Southeast Asia to show how planting patterns have changed over the past three decades. Using satellite images, we tracked when and how often rice was grown and confirmed the results with more than 23,000 independent samples. The maps closely match national statistics and offer a valuable resource for understanding food production, water use, methane emissions, and climate impacts in this vital region.
