Abstract

Natural resources are essential parts of human life, even the technologies continue to grow, natural resources still become a strategic sector for many countries. Many countries that don’t have many natural resources are trying to collaborate with rich countries. How people manage natural resources is very important to get maximum benefits. Local wisdom seems to have a role in managing natural resources with wise ways, get full benefits without destroying it. Natural resources, especially in terms of soil, water, plant and animal diversity, vegetation cover, climate, and ecosystem services, are fundamental for agricultural systems' structure and function. Therefore how farmers are managing their farming can be seen as farmers are managing natural resources. Farmers’ local wisdom on natural resources can be seen in the shape of how farmers managing their farming activities with various ways that they learned or got from generation to generation. Understanding farmers’ local wisdom on natural resources can help stakeholders make a suitable program for farmers' lives and natural resources development.

Abstract. Rozaki Z, Vionanda R, Rahmawati N, Triyono. 2025. Stakeholders' roles and policy effectiveness in organic rice farming development in Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Asian J Agric 9: 513-521. In Central Java and Yogyakarta, organic rice farming has grown rapidly in response to increasing consumer demand and farmer awareness of environmental and health concerns. Between 2019 and 2022, the volume of organic rice trade rose significantly from 491.4 tons to 7,795.9 tons, highlighting the urgent need for supportive policies and governance structures. This study aims to analyze the roles of key stakeholders and assess the effectiveness of agricultural policies in promoting organic rice farming across five districts. A qualitative descriptive approach was applied, using purposive sampling to select 18 key informants, including officials from agricultural offices, extension advisors, and farmer group leaders. The findings show that stakeholders play a central and invaluable role in policy creation and information dissemination, yet marketing-related policies remain underdeveloped. Existing programs mainly provide production-side support, including subsidies for inputs, certification assistance, training, and extension services, all confirmed by farmers as received. While these interventions effectively enhance productivity, they have a limited impact on marketing efficiency. Further analysis highlights the need for stronger communication between policymakers and farmer groups, as well as better support for market access and post-harvest handling. The study recommends establishing district-level organic marketing boards, embedding farmer feedback into policy cycles, and encouraging local governments to adopt region-specific regulations that foster sustainable organic farming systems.

Abstract. Rozaki Z, Saputri RD, Kamarudin MF, Rahmawati N. 2026. Livelihood vulnerability and resilience of rainfed rice farmers to climate change in Java, Indonesia. Asian J Agric 10 (1): g100108. https://doi.org/10.13057/asianjagric/ g100108. Climate change, characterized by altered rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and increasing pest infestations, poses significant challenges for rain-fed rice farmers who heavily depend on rainfall. This study assesses and compares the resilience of rainfed rice farmers in Central Java (Klaten, Karanganyar, Boyolali, and Wonogiri) and Yogyakarta (Gunungkidul and Bantul), Indonesia, using the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI). The research involved 300 respondents from six districts, selected through purposive sampling, with data collected via structured household interviews covering social, economic, physical, environmental, and institutional indicators. The LVI was constructed by normalizing indicators and aggregating them into exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity dimensions using a weighted average approach. The results reveal moderate adaptive capacity in both provinces (A=0.36 in Central Java and 0.39 in Yogyakarta), with overall vulnerability classified as medium (LVI=0.40 and 0.46, respectively). However, the primary drivers of vulnerability vary across regions. In Central Java, education level (p=0.001) and household size (p=0.008) significantly influence vulnerability, indicating that limited human capital and higher dependency ratios increase sensitivity to climate shocks. In contrast, farming experience is the dominant factor in Yogyakarta (p=0.010), indicating that long-term reliance on traditional practices may limit adaptive responses to changing climatic conditions. These comparative findings highlight that vulnerability in rainfed rice systems is shaped not only by climatic exposure but also by region-specific socioeconomic factors. Accordingly, climate-responsive agricultural policies should be tailored to different regions, emphasizing improved extension services, access to climate and market information, adaptive training, and livelihood diversification to enhance the resilience of rainfed rice farmers.

Abstract. Ajam MR, Rasulu H, Ashari R, Tridtitanakiat PC, Murtini ES, Jabid AW, Kamaluddin AK, Nurjannah S, Fatmawati M, Rozaki Z, Abdullah H. 2026. Supply chain analysis of agricultural and plantation commodities in North Maluku, Indonesia. Asian J Agric 10 (1): g100122. https://doi.org/10.13057/asianjagric/g100122. North Maluku is an archipelagic province in eastern Indonesia where agricultural and plantation supply chains are shaped by dispersed geography and reliance on maritime transport. This study applied a qualitative approach, combining in-depth interviews and field observation. Thirty informants were purposively selected, consisting of 15 farmers, 5 intermediaries, and 10 local traders engaged in agricultural distribution. The research examined supply chain structures, transport modes, and logistical constraints across seven major islands-Hiri, Halmahera, Bacan, Obi, Morotai, Sula, and Taliabu. The results identified five distinct supply chain typologies. Types 1-3 are associated with local vegetable distribution and short intra-island flows from farmers to end consumers, local retailers, or collectors. Type 4 reflects inter-island trade networks, commonly used for locally abundant fruits and for imported products such as carrots, potatoes, and garlic. Type 5 is for the plantation crops, such as nutmeg, cloves, and coconuts, which are largely export-oriented and involve the longest chain with multiple intermediaries. Across all types, profitability is strongly influenced by transport costs and weather-dependent marine disruptions, affecting both the availability and price stability of agricultural products as essential commodities. To enhance food security and reduce dependency on external sources, there is a need to strengthen local agricultural production through crop diversification, infrastructure development, and targeted farmer support initiatives. The results provide insights into how archipelagic geography shapes agricultural supply chains and point to strategies for building more resilient and equitable food systems.

Abstract

Mangrove forests are special type of coastal ecosystem characterized by their adaptations that enable plants to thrive in saline soil. Despite accounting for only about 1% of global forest coverage, mangroves are keystone ecosystems that provide a variety of critical ecological processes and environmental services. In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in interest in mangrove biodiversity. The lack of community-based organizations (CBO) on the awareness of conservation has a direct negative impact on endangered species. The aim of this is to analyze the conservation and preservation for mangrove in north coast area of Malaysia. Qualitative method was used to collect and analyzed the data, and supported with observations. The findings showed that mangrove conservation project in Kilim and Acheh River rivers are participated by the different stakeholders such as local government units (LGU), NGOs (PiFWA and Koperasi Komuniti Kampung Kilim Langkawi Berhad and Koperasi Nelayan Sungai Kubang Badak Langkawi Berhad), as well as a local community composed of fishermen, gleaners and business operator (travel agent). Those stakeholders are playing different role depend on their capacities. This study proves that mangrove forests are important for coastal area in Malaysia, and conservation efforts are needed to protect it. This finding also can be applied in other area. The contribution and participation of all parties also need for any conservation activities. The funding is crucial for supporting the sustainability of conservation program because some parts of conservation need it to be built such infrastructure or material for conservation.

Abstract

Mount Merapi, one of Indonesia’s most active and dangerous volcanoes, experienced a devastating eruption in 2010, causing numerous fatalities and widespread damage to homes and land, especially in areas vulnerable to the volcano’s activity. Despite the inherent risks, many farmers continue to cultivate the region’s land. This study examines the resilience of farmers in the Mount Merapi area in light of the persistent volcanic activity. Employing a qualitative methodology, including in-depth interviews and field observations, the research reveals that farmers’ resilience is shaped by their individual experiences and the contributions of government, private sector, and community actors. Long-term residence in the area has equipped farmers with the knowledge and confidence required to navigate the risks and hazards associated with the volcano. Farmers prioritize their safety but also focus on safeguarding their livestock and other essential resources, which are integral to their livelihoods. The local community is instrumental in supporting farmers and residents in disaster-prone zones, while external organizations offer additional advantages to farmers’ lives. The study proposes that a collaborative effort among all stakeholders is essential for maintaining farmers’ livelihoods in areas susceptible to volcanic activity.
