The mountainous area in small island of Bali is giving a problem for the farmer to find a wide and large area of flat land in order to plant the rice but in the other hand Balinese people are eating rice as the main food. So to have enough rice supply for the locals, we found a farming technology that flattened small area of the mountain then shaped it into several different levels so it will shaped in terrace landscape. The watering system will be flow from the top level of the rice terrace and spread into the next level underneath.

Instead of flattened the mountain into a wide flat area, this option is more realistic and more ecosystem friendly since we are not changing the shape of the mountain itself. This farming system is exist in our land from hundred years ago. Even it exist before the colony from Europe start their invasion in our country.
