Nowadays there are many houses that are built on productive ricefields. This fact really has some negative effects. First, if a new building built on a productive ricefield, the number of farm fields will decrease. Then, the production of food will also reduce. Second, farmers will loose the source of income and go to cities to look for jobs they are not skilled at. Third, if the production of food reduces, we must import rice from other countries to fulfil; our needs. Based on these facts, I think people should not build houses on productive fields. Instead, they can build their houses on unproductive land or just build attics on their old houses.
