paddy, also called rice paddy, small, level, flooded field used to cultivate rice in southern and eastern Asia. Wet-rice cultivation is the most prevalent method of farming in the Far East, where it utilizes a small fraction of the total land yet feeds the majority of the rural population. Paddy fields provide ecosystem services such as flood control, ground-water recharge, air and water purification, prevention of soil erosion and landslides, climate change mitigation and organic waste processing (Kim et al. 2006;Natuhara 2013). ...
