Of 23 Oryza species, two are cultivated: Oryza sativa , which originated in the humid tropics of Asia, and O. glaberrima, from West Africa. Asian cultivated rice has evolved into three ecogeographic races - indica, japonica and javanica (Source:International year of rice 2004,IRRI).

Rice has been a life for long times

Thousands
of years ago, people from East to South Asia settled throughout river deltas and domesticated wild rice. The productivity of wetland rice crops led to population growth and to the development of society and civilization.

Not just economic approach because it is a matter of identity: not just a matter of food and cost -Asia, central part of culture -Principal source of income for 100 mill house a matter of life -expensive, not give a birth? -why you invest for emergency, food?

Conclusions
Peculiarity of Asian monsoon region - Climate conditions and regional characteristics are totally different from non paddy areas - climate change and diverse functions of paddy farming should be taken into account Social and traditional components should be considered for policy making in the paddy farming in Asia ,especially in monsoon and tropical region.
