I don't quite agree that mapping individual rice paddies as landuse=farm is
the way to go. I think the whole rice farm should be mapped as a single
object and then the walls/terraces should be mapped as a different object.
Generally, yes I agree for not mapping individual paddies. But, there
Maning's recent message about mapping the Batad rice terraces brings us
back to this discussion.

A bund is also defined as an embankment to control the flow of water. And
for reference, the English equivalent for the Tagalog term pilapil is
dyke or dike [0] or bund [1].
I am withdrawing my suggestion for the dyke tag, and second Maning's tag
man_made=bund as technically more appropriate in
I think neither tag is appropriate. man_made=dyke doesn't seem to be
appropriate since a dyke's purpose is to prevent flooding, and these rice
paddy embankments do not do that.

It's probably not being used as such but rice are flood crops and the wiki
page for dyke states it as an embankment built to *restrict the flow of
water or other liquids* , which in this applies to restricting the water
within the paddies.
Is there a more appropriate tag?

On a related note, should we encourage mapping of individual rice paddies,
similar to what's being done with fish ponds?

First of all, kudos to the volunteers working in the Lubao area[0] in
Pampanga for the level of details they are adding to OpenStreetMap.
I do wonder, however, if the appropriate tags are being used. In this case,
paddy field levees are being tagged as highway=path, when in fact they are
