- Abstract
This paper is a narrative on the ethics and aesthetics of rice and land, part of a larger study titled Ethos of Rice: Environmental Ethics Behind the Traditional Culture of Rice and its Production in Nueva Ecija, which explores the ethical and cultural dynamics of rice farming in this part of the Philippines. It looks at the perennial struggle between economic utility and ecological sustainability, and shows how the organic relationship between farmers and their land is disrupted when farming becomes heavily productiondriven. It argues that rice is more than just an economic crop but a way of life and an embodiment of a sense of community and personal fulfillment among farmers. Echoing Aldo Leopold's ideas on land ethic and aesthetic, it calls for ecological conscience in the valuation of rice and individual responsibility to ensure land health.
