paddy farming
Flooded field agriculture
Paddy farming is the cultivation of rice in flooded fields, the dominant method of rice production worldwide.
The paddies—shallow, diked fields that can be flooded and drained—create the standing water conditions rice needs during its growing season.
Paddy farming has shaped the landscape of Southeast Asia for millennia.
