Abstract

Rice fields play an essential role in supporting food security and environmental sustainability. This study aims to describe the ecological conditions of rice field areas in Ciamis Regency, analyze the impact of farmers' activities on the paddy field environment, and identify efforts to maintain agricultural ecosystem balance. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving farmers in the study area and analyzed descriptively to explain the relationship between agricultural activities and environmental conditions. The findings reveal that farmers' activities significantly influence the sustainability of rice field ecosystems. Soil management, irrigation, fertilization, and pest control are key factors affecting agricultural environmental quality. Soil fertility and water availability support rice growth, whereas climate variability and pest attacks remain major challenges. Excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides contributes to soil degradation, water pollution, and biodiversity loss. Conversely, farmers' environmental awareness and agricultural extension programs encourage the adoption of more sustainable farming practices. The study concludes that agricultural success depends not only on production factors but also on farmers' ability to preserve ecological balance. Therefore, strengthening agroecological principles and environmentally friendly farming practices is essential to support sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation, and long-term productivity in Ciamis Regency.
