00:00These tiny creatures might be the most useful animals on earth, and you've probably eaten them
00:04before. Because the second they're brought to markets, they're weighed equally and sealed in
00:08individual containers, as farmers race to buy millions of them since their whole farm depends
00:13on it. Because they're taken straight to flooded rice fields, where thousands are released into
00:17the water, starting one of the smartest farming systems in the world. As while they grow up,
00:21they spend each day eating harmful pests and weeds, while digging through the mud to aerate
00:26the soil, giving the rice more oxygen without using any chemicals. But after months of protecting
00:30every grain of rice, they're collected all over again and sold worldwide, finally becoming the
00:35same crabs you've eaten.
