Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on organic agriculture, examining publication trends, thematic focuses, author collaborations, and international research networks. By analyzing data from major academic databases, this study identifies the core themes that define organic agriculture research, including sustainable agriculture, soil fertility, and crop rotation, and highlights emerging topics such as innovation, agroecology, and economic viability. The analysis also reveals strong international collaboration, with significant contributions from North America, Europe, and Asia, and identifies opportunities for expanding partnerships in underrepresented regions. These findings provide valuable insights into the development and future directions of organic agriculture research, underscoring its relevance in addressing global sustainability challenges. The study serves as a useful resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners aiming to promote and expand organic agriculture as a sustainable alternative to conventional farming.

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

This systematic literature review examines the effects of Bokashi organic fertilizer dosage on rice plants' agronomic growth and productivity (Oryza sativa). Using 16 Scopus-indexed articles, the study synthesizes findings on how Bokashi impacts key agronomic parameters such as plant height, tiller number, biomass production, and grain yield. The review highlights that optimal dosages (5–10 tons/ha) consistently improve growth and yield outcomes compared to chemical fertilizers or untreated controls. Bokashi's nutrient-rich composition and ability to enhance soil health and microbial activity make it a sustainable alternative for rice cultivation. However, its effectiveness depends on soil type, environmental conditions, and rice variety. Challenges related to dosage standardization and large-scale implementation are identified, and recommendations for future research are provided. This review underscores the potential of Bokashi in promoting sustainable agriculture while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships among Economic Sustainability, Farmer Empowerment, and Technological Innovation and their collective impact on the Farming Sector in the oil palm plantation context of Kalimantan. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 230 respondents through structured surveys and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal significant positive relationships between all variables, with Technological Innovation showing the strongest influence on the Farming Sector. Farmer Empowerment also emerged as a critical driver, highlighting the importance of capacity-building and participatory decision-making in enhancing agricultural productivity. Economic Sustainability contributes to sectoral growth by stabilizing income and optimizing resource utilization. These results underscore the importance of integrating empowerment, technological advancements, and economic resilience to foster sustainable development in the farming sector. The study provides actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to improve the sustainability and competitiveness of oil palm plantations in Kalimantan.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of sustainable agricultural practices, product diversification, and digital marketing on the economic performance of organic vegetable farmers in Bali. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 210 farmers using a structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that product diversification has the strongest positive influence on economic performance, followed by sustainable agricultural practices and digital marketing. Product diversification enhances income stability and market expansion, while sustainable practices improve cost efficiency and product quality. Digital marketing, although less impactful, provides significant benefits by increasing market reach and customer engagement. These findings highlight the synergistic effects of these strategies in improving the economic resilience of organic farmers. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for farmers, policymakers, and stakeholders to foster sustainable and profitable organic farming.
