Wetland agriculture

Wetland agriculture refers to farming practices that take advantage of wetland areas, which are ecosystems characterized by saturated soils and water. These areas can include marshes, swamps, and floodplains. Farmers grow crops such as rice, taro, and certain spices that thrive in such environments. Wetland agriculture not only provides food but also helps maintain water quality, supports wildlife, and reduces flood risks. Sustainable practices in these regions are crucial for preserving biodiversity and ensuring that the ecosystem remains healthy while supporting agricultural productivity.
