Rice Farming has been designed around a game framework. The students are asked to take on the role of rice-farmers in India and to see how successful they can be. They are faced with decisions that relate to purchases at the beginning of the year, and also throughout the growth of his crops in three seasons. Once the harvest is reaped and put on the market, the yearly costs are paid and another year begins. This unit has been specifically designed to encourage an awareness of the problems and complexities of decision-making for farmers in a third-world area. In this example the farmers grow rice in a typically poor region where periodic droughts occur. The data is based on the hilly country of South Bihar, North India, and is taken from the case study made available by Graham Chapman.
