Duck FarmingKuttanadu is a region in the Alappuzha, in the state of Kerala, India, well known for its picturesque vast paddy fields and its geographical peculiarities. Its the region with the lowest altitude in India, and one of the few places in the world where farming is carried out below sea level. Its also one of the historically important places in the ancient history of South India.In Kuttanad, Keralas rice bowl, fields turn gold. Harvesters are abuzz, hurrying to reap the field before the summer rains strike. But as soon as the noises die down and the fields are empty, massive flocks of winged visitors take over. Thousands of ducks quack through the canals of Kuttanad to occupy the pre-designated harvested fields for their feed. Once the ducklings are out, they are constantly on the move, for upto six months, from one field to another until they are finally sold for meat.Duck farming provides indirect employment to many who live around the canals.
