Abstract

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) introduces new sustainability requirements that significantly affect global cocoa supply chains. As one of the world’s major cocoa-producing countries, Indonesia faces considerable challenges in ensuring that smallholder farmers comply with EUDR provisions related to traceability, geolocation, and deforestation-free production. In this context, sustainability learning has emerged as a critical factor in strengthening farmers’ capacity to adapt to evolving environmental and market standards. This study examines the relationship between sustainability learning and cocoa farmers’ readiness for EUDR compliance through a desk study approach. Data were collected from scientific journal articles, policy documents, reports from international organizations, and government publications related to agricultural extension, sustainability education, digital literacy, and cocoa governance. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The findings indicate that farmers’ readiness for EUDR compliance is strongly influenced by sustainability learning opportunities, the effectiveness of agricultural extension services, and the level of digital literacy required for traceability systems. Significant knowledge gaps regarding EUDR requirements remain, particularly among smallholders in remote areas. Strengthening sustainability-oriented extension programs, promoting digital learning platforms, and enhancing institutional support are essential for improving compliance readiness. This study contributes to the literature on sustainability education and offers policy insights for supporting cocoa farmers in meeting emerging global sustainability standards.

Abstract

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) presents significant challenges for cocoa-producing countries by requiring compliance with strict standards related to traceability, geolocation, and deforestation-free production. As a major cocoa producer, Indonesia must strengthen the capacity of smallholder farmers to meet these emerging sustainability requirements. This study aims to review the role of agricultural education and extension policies in supporting cocoa farmers’ readiness for EUDR compliance. A policy review approach was employed using secondary data obtained from academic publications, government regulations, policy documents, and reports from international organizations related to agricultural education, extension services, sustainability governance, and cocoa development. Data were analyzed through thematic content analysis to identify policy priorities, implementation challenges, and capacity-building opportunities. The findings indicate that agricultural education and extension systems play a crucial role in enhancing farmers’ knowledge, environmental awareness, digital literacy, and traceability capabilities. However, existing policies remain constrained by limited institutional coordination, unequal access to extension services, and insufficient integration of EUDR-related competencies into farmer training programs. Strengthening policy coherence, expanding sustainability-oriented extension initiatives, and promoting digital learning mechanisms are essential for improving farmers’ preparedness. This study contributes to the literature on agricultural education and provides policy recommendations for supporting sustainable cocoa production and EUDR compliance in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Muhammadiyah da’wah as a social practice in building social capital and transforming the resilience of Muslim communities in Kendari City. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving Muhammadiyah da’wah actors and community members. The findings reveal that Muhammadiyah da’wah functions not only as an activity of conveying religious teachings but also as a social practice that strengthens networks of trust, collective norms, and social solidarity within the community. Da’wah practices grounded in education, social services, and community empowerment significantly contribute to enhancing the community’s adaptive capacity in facing various social, economic, and cultural pressures. Theoretically, this study highlights the importance of integrating da’wah perspectives with the concept of social capital in understanding the dynamics of Muslim community resilience in urban contexts.

Abstract

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) introduces new requirements for agricultural commodity supply chains by mandating traceability, legality, and deforestation-free production. As one of the world's major cocoa-producing countries, Indonesia faces increasing pressure to strengthen traceability systems to maintain access to international markets, particularly the European Union. This study aims to examine the current state of traceability systems in Indonesia’s cocoa sector, identify key implementation challenges, and formulate policy options to support EUDR compliance. The study employs a desk study approach based on the review of regulatory documents, official reports, policy papers, and recent academic literature related to cocoa governance, traceability, and sustainability standards. The findings indicate that Indonesia has initiated several traceability-related programs, yet significant challenges remain, including fragmented data systems, incomplete farmer registration, limited geolocation information, weak institutional coordination, and unequal capacities among smallholder farmers. Strengthening digital traceability infrastructure, improving stakeholder coordination, enhancing farmer participation, and integrating traceability into national cocoa governance are essential for successful compliance. The study concludes that traceability should be viewed not only as a regulatory requirement but also as a strategic instrument for improving transparency, sustainability, and competitiveness in Indonesia’s cocoa sector.
