Kuttanad ‘below-sea-level’ farming

Alleppey

“In Kerala, Kuttanad’s ‘below-sea-level’ farming is a unique agricultural practice where crops, primarily paddy, are cultivated on reclaimed land below sea level. This rare ecosystem, shaped by indigenous knowledge and sustainable water management, has been recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS) by the Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Farmers use centuries-old techniques like bund construction and controlled water flow to protect fields from flooding and salinity. This system not only supports biodiversity but also ensures food security, making it a remarkable example of traditional wisdom in harmony with nature.”
