High School Geography Is rice farming the same as monsoon paddy farming? Thanks..

You can say this, but it is very loose. Rice is the main crop of monsoon paddy field agriculture, no, it should be the only crop.

But there is one thing you should pay attention to: rice farming. As long as rice is grown, it can be called rice farming. Under the current scientific and technological conditions, rice cultivation can appear and develop in any non-monsoon paddy agricultural area (including the Arctic and Antarctic and desert areas, but no one is willing to do it). Monsoon paddy field agriculture is a division of rice planting agricultural concentrated economic zones. It belongs to a kind of division similar to industry, economy and geographical nature. This is only a division for the main food crops, but other planting industries can also exist in this area, such as silk, citrus, etc.

The two are completely unrelated in terms of property definitions and are not the same in a strict sense. But it can be said this way: monsoon paddy field agriculture is the main economic area where rice planting is concentrated.
