Abstract

In the context of agricultural entrepreneurship in Indonesia, this quantitative study explores the intricate relationships that exist between community engagement, knowledge transfer, technology adoption, community food security, and agricultural sustainability. To look into the connections between these crucial factors, the study included 350 agricultural entrepreneurs from various parts of Indonesia in a representative sample. Structural equation modeling using partial least squares (SEM-PLS) was used to gather and analyze data. The findings provided insights into the significance of community engagement, knowledge sharing, and technological advancement in guaranteeing food security. They also confirmed the significant positive direct effects of community participation, knowledge transfer, and technology adoption on community food security. Furthermore, the research findings indicate that the relationship between agricultural sustainability and community engagement is mediated by knowledge transfer and technological adoption, underscoring their crucial function in advancing sustainable agricultural practices. These results add to our knowledge of the dynamics of agricultural entrepreneurship in Indonesia and have important ramifications for stakeholders and policymakers who want to enhance the region's agricultural sustainability and food security.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the food distribution system and product innovation in enhancing the availability and affordability of functional foods in Sukabumi District. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 170 respondents through a structured questionnaire employing a Likert scale of 1 to 5. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) was utilized to analyze the relationships between variables. The results reveal that the food distribution system has a strong positive effect on affordability and a moderate effect on availability, while product innovation significantly impacts both affordability and availability, with a stronger influence on the latter. The combined explanatory power for affordability and availability demonstrates the critical interplay between distribution efficiency and innovation in ensuring functional food accessibility. These findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, producers, and distributors to address logistical and innovation-related challenges, thereby promoting sustainable food systems in the region.

Abstract

This study employs bibliometric analysis to explore the global research landscape of crop diversification, highlighting the significant contributions and collaborations among countries in addressing the challenges of agricultural sustainability and food security. Through the utilization of VOSviewer, the research maps out intricate networks of international collaborations and identifies key regional and global players in the field. The findings illustrate a robust pattern of interconnected research efforts, with the United States, India, and the United Kingdom acting as central hubs. The study reveals the interdisciplinary nature of crop diversification research, incorporating aspects of genetics, soil science, and climate change adaptation. Despite robust collaborations, the study also addresses challenges such as resource disparities between developed and developing nations and cultural and regulatory barriers that could hinder effective knowledge exchange. The conclusion emphasizes the need for equitable research partnerships and the integration of advanced agricultural technologies with traditional practices to enhance food security in a changing climate.

Abstract

The vast territory of Indonesia makes Indonesia rich in various foods. However, the irony is that the distribution of staple foods such as rice does not fully reach remote areas in Indonesia. This resulted in rice prices soaring and difficult to obtain. People don't care and try to switch to rice substitute foods such as bread, noodles, corn and other foods. This study aims to determine what factors influence the change in food habits from rice to non-rice. The research was conducted in Tanjung Pasir Village, Sei Merah Village, Lubuk Kertang Village, which is in Pangkalan Susu District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. The research model used is a descriptive quantitative research model. The data analysis used was Stuctural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis assisted by AMOS 20.0 software. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire instrument. The results of this study indicate that the factors of social access and public facilities influence changes in people's consumption patterns towards non-rice foods. The conclusion is that people in this area are experiencing diversification, changing consumption patterns to non-rice foods. The community prefers to look for food, especially for breakfast, to the stalls to look for non-rice foods such as bread, instant noodles, some corn and cassava. The reasons are: 1) The education factor can change people's food habits because it has an impact on the difficulty of getting a decent job, the quality of life is below standard, one of which is the difficulty to get rice; 2) The location of the market which is far away and difficult to access has resulted in soaring rice prices and this is one of the problems with public facilities; 3) The natural condition of the coast which lacks the availability of clean water and also poor sanitation makes it difficult for housewives to cook food at home.

Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression analysis with the independent variables consisting of rubber planting area (X1), rubber production (X2), rubber prices (X3), while the dependent variable consisted of rubber farmer income (Y). The results showed that partially rubber production and rubber prices had a significant effect on the income of rubber farmers in North Sumatra province, while the area of rubber plantations had no significant effect on the income of rubber farmers in North Sumatra province. Simultaneously the area of rubber plantations, rubber production and rubber prices has a significant effect on the income of rubber farmers in the province of North Sumatra.Keywords: Sweet Potato, Variety, Source of Potassium.
