Rice Farming Life

The book progresses by first introducing fundamental rice farming techniques and then delving into the critical components of rice farming life: the family unit, community networks, and cultural rituals tied to the rice cycle. Drawing upon historical records, ethnographic studies, and oral histories, Rice Farming Life offers a balanced perspective on the challenges facing traditional rice farming communities, such as climate change and global market pressures. By connecting to fields like anthropology and sociology, the book provides a rich, nuanced understanding of Asian agriculture and its enduring impact on rural economies.
