Swamp Rice Farming - The Indigenous Pahang Malay Agricultural System (Hardcover)

This first detailed ethnographic account of the Pahang Malay people
of peninsular Malaysia focuses on the society's traditional
agricultural system, particularly on its specialization in the
production of rice on largely unmodified natural swampland. Dr.
Lambert discusses the historical development of Pahang Malay rice
farming, its dependence on indigenous knowledge of local ecology,
and its adaptability to adverse conditions. Farmers experimenting
with cultivars, adapting new technologies to local conditions, and
using their own seed selection skills have over several decades
substantially improved their rice yields. Dr. Lambert suggests that
well-adapted indigenous farming systems found throughout the world
should be studied and the adoption of these successful agricultural
practices should be encouraged by governments and development
planners.
