SUBAK SYSTEM OF BALI
In Bali, agricultural life revolves around farming, a cornerstone of our economic growth. The Subak system, an ancient UNESCO heritage, holds a unique place in our hearts. Developed in the 9th century, Subak is a remarkable water management (irrigation) system for our paddy fields.
For Balinese, irrigation is not merely watering plants; it's constructing a harmonious, pulsed artificial ecosystem. The system encompasses five terraced rice fields and water temples, extending across nearly 20,000 hectares. These temples form the heart of our cooperative water management, creating a timeless tapestry of tradition and sustainability.
Engage with local farmers and embark on a guided tour of the Subak system. Learn about the rich history of Subak and witness the collective efforts of farmers in nurturing their fields.
Visit the Subak temple and discover the profound relationship between spirituality and agricultural practices. Explore the rice production house and witness the meticulous process from planting to storage. Participate in rice planting and plowing, guided by Balinese farmers and their cows.
