RICE CULTURE: Nourishing Body and Soul
Nature has endowed Bali with ideal conditions for the development of agriculture.
The divine volcanoes, still frequently active, provide the soils with
great fertility. Copius rainfall and numerous mountain springs supply
many areas of the island with ample water year-round. And a long dry season,
brought on by the southeasterly monsoon, brings plentiful sunshine for
many months of the year. Bali is, as a results, one of the most productive
traditional agricultural areas on earth, which has in turn made possible
the development of a highly intricate civilization on the island since
very early times.
Rice
as the staff of life
Wet-rice cultivation is the key to this agricultural bounty. The greatest
concentration of irrigated rice fields is found in southern-central Bali,
where water is readily available from spring-fed streams. Here, and in
other well-watered areas where wet-rice culture predominates, rice is
planted in
rotation with so-called palawija cash crops such as soybeans, peanuts,
onions, chili peppers and other vegetables. In the drier regions corn,
taro, tapioca and beets are cultivated.
Rice is, and has always been, the staff of life for Balinese. As in other
southeast Asian languages,
rice is synonymous here with food and eating. Personified as the 'divine
nutrition' in the form by
the form of the goddess Bhatari Sri, rice is seen by the Balinese to be
part of an all-compassing life
force of which humans partake.
Rice is also an important social force. The phases of rice cultivation
determine the seasonal rhythm of work as well as the division of labor
between men and women within the community. Balinese respect for their
native rice varieties in expressed in countless myths and in colorful
rituals in which the life cycle of the female rice divinity ore portrayed-from
the planting of the seed to the the harvesting of grain. Rice thus represent
'culture' to the Balinese in the dual sense of culture and cultus-cultivation
and worship.
Irrigation cooperatives (Subak)
Historical evidence indicates that since the 11th century, all peasants
whose fields were fed by the same water course have belonged to a single
subak or irrigation cooperative. This is a traditional institution
which regulates the construction and maintenance of waterworks, and distribution
of life-giving water that they supply. Such regulation is essential to
efficient wet-rice cultivation on Bali,
where water travels through very deep ravines and across countless terraces
in its journey from mountains to the sea.
