Rice is a staple food in China and much of Asia and the Middle East, so there is always a large demand for it. It's eatenless in Northern China though, where they tend to use wheat instead.
The terraces and paddies are simply the means to the end, and terraces make possible planting crops like rice, which needs its roots in water,on steep hillsides.
In lowland areas, farmers typically cultivate rice in flooded fields known as paddies. These paddies are flooded with water to control weeds and pests, and to provide the necessary environment for rice growth. Farmers may also use irrigation systems to supply water to the rice fields if natural water sources are insufficient.
The Chinese have built dams to prevent flooding.
Inca farmers adapted to the rugged Andean landscape by creating terrace farming to use available land efficiently. Japanese farmers adapted to limited arable land by practicing intensive rice cultivation and by developing advanced irrigation techniques like rice paddies.
Rice farmers in the Philippines have transformed the landscape by converting vast areas of land into rice paddies through terracing and irrigation systems. This has altered the natural topography of the land and resulted in a patchwork of rice fields across the countryside, especially in regions like the Cordilleras. The intensive cultivation of rice has also led to deforestation and soil erosion in some areas.
Terraces were cut into the hillsides to create farmland and rice paddies.
Chinese farmers built an extensive system of levees, dams, and canals to control water flow and prevent flooding. They also practiced terracing on hilly terrain and constructed rice paddies to manage water levels. Additionally, they developed water management techniques such as flood diversion and water storage reservoirs.
That the rice paddies a trimmed carefully and grown very carefully(e.g. They leave not a single weed in sight in a row of rice paddies, they get rid of the weeds until they are gone and they trim them neatly) this is what the bali farmers do for their neat crops.
The city of Angkor relied heavily on selling its rice as its main cash crop. The monsoons and irrigation systems benefited the rice paddies.
The Middlewich Paddies was created in 1979.
Rice is grown in paddies, or paddy fields.
the temples are in Egypt and the rice paddies are in India.
The giant rice eating monster comes and eats all the food in the rice paddies
