The research results were found that:

The growing the big field organic rice basically refers to the people’s groups who are together supposed to do the rice field through the mixture of modern agricultural sciences where the natural properties and ways are practically utilized in order to obtain the real quality of rice; this quality would be used as the food and medicine which energetically sustain the body growth including the brain and mind respectively. It is believed that man by nature can survive through the utilization of the natural materiality without resorting to the use of Chemical substances. In doing this, it needs the statical records of its members and important data while producing the rice.  In order achieve the goal, the proper understanding among the members in the community should be provided by the team managers and agriculturists where the whole processes in growing the big field organic rice can be successfully carried out.

The organic rice is the product which is produced through the organic processes where all kinds of Chemical substances in getting rid of Cankers are no longer utilized in any levels of the product. Consequently, the good quality of rice is obtained; it is without any harmful contamination resulting in providing the healthiness and quality of life to the consumers. It is said that this type of rice is supported by NGOS as well. It does not only give rise to the high quality of product and safety, but it also provides the natural preservation where the natural richness and balance can be sustained while utilizing its benefit because such growing the big field organic rice depends solely on the natural resources, rainwater, river, man and cattle, for instance. Furthermore, it is carried out by members of family for the sake of consumption not for commercial purposes, its tools, plough handle and harrow, are also made by hands. It can be claimed that all processes in growing the big field organic rice are naturally processed. To achieve the quality of product, it needs to be done by groups of people where modern sciences and management are applied. From the study of three districts, more than half of land is used to plan such rice. By virtue of the mentioned techniques, the whole processes are suitably provided to meet the requirement of the organic rice. As far as the Buddhist teachings are concerned, the agriculturists need to apply the following principles to the big field organic rice plantation: 1) Nãthakaraṇadhamma; the principle of self-dependence (the contentment, economic), 2) non-violence (five precepts), 3) Sãdhãraṇabhogĩ (the principle of sharing in community), 4) Brahmavihãra (the principle of sublime state of mind), 5) seven kinds of Sappurisadhamma, and 6) Four kinds of social solidarity and Threefold training.
