Everyday I dive a little bit deeper into the world of AWD and find out new things. There is of course the science behind AWD (less water, decrease methane emissions, less inputs, etc.) but for every aspect that AWD changes in rice cultivation I feel there is a reaction in the social sphere. This reaction would be based of of the farmer's past experiences as well as their own culture and what the culture guides them to do. It would be interesting to examine and map how the different rice producing cultures respond to the inclusion of AWD in their field activities.
