Abstract

This research examines the ethnoeconomics of Mina Padi farming development in the lebak swamplands with a focus on the local wisdom of the Bugis community. The aim was to understand the economic value and benefits that farmers gain through this practice. The research took place from March 2023 to February 2024 and involved 75 Mina Padi farmers and key informants such as village heads and farmer group leaders. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The approach used was mixed methods, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses within an ethnoeconomic framework to explore the economic, social, and cultural dimensions of Mina Padi farming. The results showed that farmers have inherited traditional rice and fish farming knowledge from their ancestors, which is now combined with modern technology. This process includes land cultivation, planting, maintenance, and post-harvesting, which is carried out with attention to ecological and economic aspects. Economically, Mina Padi farming provides important benefits in income diversification and food security for farming families through fish and rice supplies. This research confirms that the collaboration between local wisdom and modern technology has great potential to improve farmers' welfare and agricultural sustainability in lebak swamplands. The findings are expected to be valuable inputs for policymakers and sustainable agricultural development programs.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the sustainability of Mina Padi farming on wetlands in Epeesi Village based on five dimensions of sustainability: economic, social, ecological, institutional, and technological. The research was conducted in 2023 and involved 75 farmers and village heads, farmer group leaders, agricultural extension officers, and the agriculture office. Data analysis used the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) approach with the Rapfish method to calculate the sustainability index in each dimension. The dimensions used are economic, social, institutional, ecological, and technological. The results showed that Mina Padi farming is quite sustainable, with an overall index of 69.58. The economic, social, and ecological dimensions are in the sustainable category, with an index of 76.59, 78.65, and 84.74, respectively. However, the institutional and technological dimensions are moderately sustainable, with indices of 57.44 and 50.49, respectively. These findings indicate the need for institutional strengthening and adoption of innovative technologies to support long-term sustainability. Efforts to strengthen inter-institutional coordination, improve decision-making capacity, and encourage technological innovation are important steps to improve the sustainability of this system. With these improvements, Mina Padi farming has the potential to become a sustainable agriculture model that can be applied in other regions to support sustainable development globally.
