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

The Subak traditional farming system in Bali embodies a harmonious relationship between humans, nature, and spirituality, epitomizing the Balinese philosophy of "Tri Hita Karana." This qualitative study explores the role of the Subak system in the preservation of natural and cultural resources in Bali. Through interviews with Subak farmers, water temple priests, and other stakeholders, as well as participant observation and document analysis, the study examines the ecological functions, cultural significance, and challenges facing the Subak system. The findings reveal that the Subak system plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance, biodiversity, and soil health in Bali's landscapes. Furthermore, the Subak system holds profound cultural significance, serving as a spiritual anchor, fostering community cohesion, and preserving cultural heritage. However, the Subak system faces numerous challenges, including urbanization, water scarcity, and demographic shifts, which threaten its sustainability and resilience. Addressing these challenges requires concerted efforts to protect Subak landscapes, promote traditional farming practices, and empower local communities. By recognizing the holistic value of the Subak system, stakeholders can work together to ensure the preservation of Bali's natural and cultural heritage for future generations.

Abstract

Quality human resources (HR) are one of the main pillars in the economic development of a country. The unemployment rate among young people remains relatively high in many areas. Lack of access to training and adequate resources often serves as a major barrier for youth to start their own businesses. Intervention is needed to boost entrepreneurship among young people. This research aims to examine the role of business incubators in enhancing HR competence and promoting entrepreneurship among young people in general. This study is a literature review with a qualitative approach. Data were collected from scholarly articles published during the period 2005-2024, primarily from Google Scholar, which is a credible platform for academic literature search. The study results indicate that business incubators play a central role in developing and accelerating the growth and success of startup companies in Indonesia, especially among young people. In this context, business incubators not only enhance human resource competence through training programs and mentoring but also encourage entrepreneurship by creating a conducive environment for the development of innovative ideas. Business incubators also serve as a link between various elements in the entrepreneurship ecosystem and have a positive impact on the local economy and society as a whole.
