| Abstract: | The multi-functionality of paddy field and irrigation water has become a hot issue recently in Asian monsoon regions. Asian people know why they have to conserve the paddy farm where the sustainable functions have been historically inherited and maintain the rural community where the unique cultures have been traditionally created. But, the real value of multi-functionality has not been clearly highlighted as much worthy as it has. We should evaluate the characteristics of multi-functionality of paddy farming correctly and transmit them to the people of Western countries under quite different conditions of upland fields. In Korea, several studies on the multi-functionality of paddy farming have been performed with positive and negative viewpoints. This paper shows the results and the discussion of the researches to get global recognition on the multi-functionality of paddy farming. |
