Multiple Functions of Paddy Fields Definition Numerous Non-trade benefits of agriculture, that is, externality, both positive and negative Multiple functions, controversial issues • Identification for food security, rural employment • Measurement and valuation issues • Above of multifunctionality

  5. Multiple Functions of Paddy Fields • Water cycle control : Flood prevention, groundwater recharge, prevention of soil erosion, sediment collapse and landslides • Environmental load control : water purification, climate mitigation, organic waste processing • Nature formation : Protection of biodiversity, landscape formation • Social culture formation : health and recreation

  6. Flood prevention Climate mitigation Protection of biodiversity Landscape formation/ Social culture formation

  7. Section 2 The Function of Conservation of Ecosystem in These Multiple Functions of Paddy Fields

  8. The Function of Conservation of Ecosystem • A type of artificial wetland ecosystems • Habitats of endangered species, especially water fowl • Sustainable paddy farming enriches biodiversity in paddy fields • Biodiversity as a concept of integral of lives and ecosystem
