rice field

Flooded crop plot

A rice field is an area of land, typically flooded or irrigated, where rice is cultivated.

Also called a paddy or rice paddy, these fields are a defining feature of agricultural landscapes across Asia, where rice serves as a dietary staple.

Rice fields are often arranged in terraces on hillsides to manage water flow and maximize growing space.

The rice fields turned golden as harvest season approached.
