| Summary: | Background: Rice field agroecosystems produce food for more than half of the world’s population and deliver
important services supporting farmers’ livelihoods. However, traditional rice field agroecosystems are facing a variety
of problems, including pests or markets that are hard to access. This research explored indigenous farmers’ perceptions
of the problems, their causes and consequences, and the solutions applied to address them in the rice field
agroecosystem. Furthermore, the study investigated how indigenous farmers related these problems to the surrounding
landscape elements and to microzones in the fields. |
