Abstract

This study portrays the roles of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in the mitigation of natural hazards. Menoreh Hill in Kulon Progo experienced more than 200 landslides in 2022 and its communities implemented TEK to mitigate them. Hence, this research quantitatively analyzes the role of agriculture-related TEK, especially those applied in hilly areas, to support household resilience to natural hazards. Authors surveyed 106 farm households and interviewed eight key informants in Banjararum and Sidoharjo Villages, Kalibawang and Samigaluh Sub-districts, Kulon Progo Regency, D.I. Yogyakarta. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. The descriptive statistics showed that farmers in both villages are highest in practicing alley cropping and integrated farming, while also applying mixed cropping, multiple cropping and locally based planting schedule (pranata mangsa). From binary logistic regression, authors found that TEK practices of multiple cropping, alley cropping and pranata mangsa support farm household resilience to natural hazards, especially landslides. The TEK practices serve as sources of buffer and adaptation capacity in the development of farm household resilience. Interestingly, mixed cropping and membership in farmer groups tend to weaken resilience, as mixed cropping often complicates the recovery efforts in the farmlands, and farmers’ groups are not conditioned to act promptly during hazards or disasters. While TEK has been proven to take roles in the mitigation and adaptation to natural hazards, there is a need to integrate scientific knowledge to improve its optimum benefits.

Abstract

A notable trend in Indonesia's agricultural sector is the aging of its farmer population. The reluctance of the younger generation to pursue careers in the agricultural sector is attributed to pervasive negative perceptions, including the lacks societal prestige. In an effort to increase farmer succession, the Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with IFAD, has initiated the YESS. This program offers internships, training, funding through competitive grants, and the development of young agricultural entrepreneurs for young generations. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of the YESS on the agricultural ecosystem and to identify the agricultural ecosystem with the most influence in supporting farmer succession. The present study involved 120 beneficiaries of the YESS in West Java, East Java, South Kalimantan, and South Sulawesi selected through purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using multidimensional scaling, agricultural human resources and agricultural regulations. The findings of the present study indicate that the regulatory framework governing agriculture the proliferation of farmer succession in Indonesia. The extent to which existing agricultural regulations are implementable and representative is directly correlated with the number of farmer successions. Achieving this objective necessitates a collaborative effort among the Ministry of Agriculture, in its capacity as the policy maker, academics, young farmers, young agricultural entrepreneurs, and relevant stakeholders to achieve sustainable farmer succession.
