In addition, pare (rice) is stored in leuit (rice granary). Leuit is a symbol of wealth owned by the Baduy community. Conservation carried out by the Baduy to date can produce high quality pare (rice) because it does not use the chemical fertilizers and uses modern equipment. Through the ethno-agricultural lexicon, the community is able to create food self-sufficiency that can increase good, healthy and quality rice production by not using chemical fertilizers and modern tools that can damage the soil.
