In an era of high-tech and climate extremes, we are drowning in information while starving for wisdom. Constructed rice terraces are now considered one of the world's most important ecosystems, acting as massive absorption or purification systems and as nutrient and biodiversity storehouses. Across the world, indigenous communities like the lfugao in Philippines and the Subak in Bali have developed the Palayan and Subak terracing and aquaponic systems that take full advantage of local ecosystems, including wetland microbes, plants, and wildlife that compose the primary building blocks of the global water, nitrogen, and sulphur cycles.
