The subak reflects the philosophical concept of Tri Hita Karana which aims at a harmonious relationship between the domains of the mind, the human world and nature. This philosophy, which stems from the cultural exchange between India and Bali for over two thousand years, has shaped the landscape of Bali. The subak system covers democratic and egalitarian agricultural practices that have enabled the people of Bali to become the most efficient rice producers in the entire archipelago, despite the pressure of a high population density.
