rice cultivation
Growing aquatic grain
Rice cultivation is the practice of growing rice, one of the world's most important food crops.
It typically involves flooding fields called paddies, though some varieties grow in dry conditions.
The process includes preparing fields, transplanting seedlings, managing water levels, and harvesting: Wet rice cultivation transformed the economies of Southeast Asia.
