Abstract

Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural systems, affecting productivity and sustainability. This study investigates the impact of climate change factors, management practices, and labor availability on agricultural resource management productivity among fruit farmers in Binjai. A sample of 121 farmers was surveyed, and data were analyzed using IBM SPSS. Results indicate a 1.5°C temperature increase over the past decade, negatively correlating with crop yields. Diverse management practices were observed, with integrated pest management positively influencing productivity. Labor availability exhibited seasonal variations, influenced by migration patterns. Spatial analysis highlighted temperature-sensitive clusters and regions prone to extreme weather events. The findings provide actionable insights for tailored interventions, emphasizing the need for climate-resilient strategies in Binjai's fruit farming.

Abstract

This research investigates the interplay of climate change factors, sustainable agricultural practices, and community involvement on agricultural productivity, focusing on rice farmers in the Cianjur area. Through a quantitative analysis involving 121 farmers, descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were employed to unveil patterns and relationships. The results reveal a moderate positive correlation between climate change awareness and productivity, a strong positive association between sustainable practices and productivity, and a robust positive correlation between community involvement and productivity. Multiple regression analysis indicates that, collectively, these factors significantly contribute to agricultural productivity. The findings underscore the importance of holistic approaches that integrate climate resilience, sustainable practices, and community engagement for enhancing agricultural productivity in the Cianjur region.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of organic fertilizer use on soil quality and agricultural yields in Indonesia through a qualitative analysis. Ten informants, including small-scale and large-scale farmers, agricultural experts, and environmentalists, provided insights into their perceptions and experiences. The study reveals diverse farmer perspectives, with small-scale farmers exhibiting limited awareness and large-scale farmers emphasizing long-term benefits. Organic fertilizers were found to positively influence soil quality, improving structure, water retention, and microbial activity. Crop-specific responses varied, highlighting the importance of considering regional agroecological conditions. Challenges such as access, affordability, and labor intensity were identified, countered by opportunities including government programs, cooperative farming, and consumer demand. Decision-making factors encompassed economic considerations, knowledge, environmental consciousness, and social influences. The synthesis underscores the need for tailored interventions, acknowledging the complexity of factors shaping the adoption of organic fertilizers in Indonesian agriculture.

Abstract

Soybean stands as a critical crop globally, serving as a primary source of protein and oil. Optimizing soybean production is imperative to meet increasing demand amid evolving environmental and agronomic challenges. This qualitative analysis delves into the role of soil type and environmental conditions in enhancing soybean yield. Through a synthesis of existing literature and insights from interviews with key stakeholders, patterns and trends influencing soybean cultivation are identified. The findings underscore the complex interplay between soil properties, climatic factors, and agronomic practices in shaping soybean production dynamics. Tailored management strategies are essential for optimizing soil health, water management, and varietal selection to enhance soybean resilience and sustainability in the face of ongoing climate change and variability.

Abstract

This study provides a comparative analysis of the productivity of organic and conventional maize farming in East Java, employing a quantitative approach with 40 sample farms. Utilizing a Likert scale from 1 to 5, data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The findings indicate that while conventional farming demonstrates higher average yields, the difference in productivity between the two systems is statistically significant but not substantial. Organic farming shows competitive productivity, particularly in the long term, due to its positive impact on soil health and sustainability. The study highlights the potential of organic farming as a viable alternative to conventional practices in maize cultivation, offering valuable insights for policymakers and farmers in East Java.

Abstract

Building local food security with an ecological approach is vital for ensuring sustainable and resilient food systems, particularly in the face of climate change and socio-economic challenges. This study systematically analyzes 60 peer-reviewed documents from the Scopus database to identify key themes, challenges, and opportunities in this domain. The findings highlight the importance of biodiversity, sustainable land management, governance, and policy support in achieving food security. However, significant barriers such as climate change, socio-economic inequalities, and knowledge gaps impede progress. Emerging technologies, community participation, and targeted policy reforms are identified as pivotal strategies for addressing these challenges. The study concludes that integrating ecological principles into local food systems not only enhances agricultural resilience but also fosters environmental conservation and social equity. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working towards sustainable food security.

Abstract

This study reviews the impact of nutritional composition on the growth of kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) in hydroponic systems, synthesizing findings from 15 Scopus-indexed studies. The analysis highlights the critical roles of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and micronutrients (iron, magnesium, zinc) in optimizing plant growth, yield, and quality. Additionally, it examines the importance of nutrient solution management, including pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrient concentration, for efficient nutrient uptake. Innovative practices such as organic additives and advanced monitoring systems are also discussed for their potential to enhance productivity and sustainability. The review identifies gaps in existing research, particularly in standardizing nutrient formulations and assessing the long-term impact on nutritional quality. These findings provide actionable insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to advance hydroponic kale cultivation.

Abstract

Modern harvesting tools have become essential in supporting agricultural modernization and strengthening food security in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach, interviewing five farmers to explore their experiences with adopting and utilizing these tools. The findings reveal that modern harvesting tools significantly reduce labor requirements, save time, and improve crop quality, directly benefiting farmers' productivity. However, the adoption process is hindered by financial constraints, limited technical knowledge, and maintenance challenges. The study highlights the need for government support in providing subsidies, affordable credit, and local technical training to ensure the sustainable use of modern tools. These findings underscore the transformative potential of modern agricultural technologies in achieving national food security goals.
