Abstract

Developing beef cattle in Indonesia has great potential to meet the demand for beef, improve farmers' welfare, and positively contribute to the national economy. This study aims to identify development areas and analyze the growth rate of beef cattle in South Sulawesi Province. The sampling of areas was done purposively. The data analysis includes the Location Quotient (LQ) and the Growth Ratio Model (GRM). The study results indicate that Bulukumba, Sinjai, Maros, Bone, Barru, Wajo, and Enrekang Regencies are the leading (base) areas for beef cattle development in South Sulawesi Province. The growth rate of beef cattle that falls into classification I includes Selayar Islands, Bulukumba, Takalar, Gowa, Sinjai, Bone, Wajo, Pinrang, Tana Toraja, North Luwu, and East Luwu Regencies. Meanwhile, Bantaeng, Jeneponto, Maros, Pangkajene and Islands, Barru, Soppeng, Enrekang, and Luwu Regencies, as well as the cities of Makassar, Parepare, and Palopo, are included in classification II. This information on the growth rate of beef cattle serves as a basis for local governments to determine appropriate policies for sustainable beef cattle development in these areas. The growth of beef cattle to support livestock agribusiness can be achieved through the development of digital-based technology. This can significantly contribute to developing livestock agribusiness that is more efficient, sustainable, and profitable

Abstract

An integrated farming system that combines the horticulture and beef cattle subsectors based on the zero-waste principle is one of the innovative solutions to reduce negative environmental impacts while increasing production efficiency. Barru Regency, with its potential in horticulture and livestock, is a strategic area for the implementation of this system. However, the success of its implementation highly depends on the active involvement of various stakeholders. This study aims to examine stakeholders' perspectives on the development of a zero waste integration system of horticultural crops and cattle in Barru Regency. A qualitative approach was used to explore the perceptions, interests, roles, and challenges faced by stakeholders in the implementation of this system. Data were collected through in depth interviews, including Focus Group Discussions (FGD), participatory observations, and document studies. The informant sources identified in this study consist of 15 cattle farmers, 10 horticulture farmers, 2 field extension officers, 1 government official, and 1 academics. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis methods. The research findings show that 80% of farmers perceive waste reuse as economically beneficial, and 40% lack access to composting and biogas technology. Based on these findings, synergy among actors, regulatory strengthening, and inclusive policy support are needed to realize a sustainable zero-waste farming system.
