Abstract

Climate change has affected rice productivity in North Aceh Regency, characterized by rainfall fluctuations, increased temperatures, and disruption of agricultural ecosystems. This study aims to identify obstacles faced by farmers in implementing innovations in rice cultivation and analyze the role of agricultural extension workers in supporting adaptation to climate change. The method used in this study was a survey method with qualitative descriptive analysis of 80 respondents in North Aceh Regency. The results showed that the main obstacles included limited adaptive superior seeds (86.56%), availability of irrigation water (80.63%), and low climate literacy (78.24%). The role of adaptive extension workers was assessed as "instrumental" with an average index value of 69.71%, the highest score for the extension worker variable as an innovator (78.63%) and extension workers as educators with an index value of (75.08%). The results of this study emphasize the importance of extension workers as agents of change in terms of technology transfer, climate education, and facilitating access to resources. Community-based extension strategies and participatory approaches have proven effective in increasing farmers' adaptive capacity. The importance of strengthening the role of extension workers through training, policy support, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate the adoption process of innovations in rice cultivation that are resilient to climate change.

(1) constraint indicatorsthe availability of fertilizers (very constrained), pest and disease attacks, and the availability of extension workers, and the availability of agricultural tools and machinery (constrained) as well as garden patterns that are not simultaneously, the availability of irrigation water, and the low use of superior seeds are in the less constrained category. (2) farmers perceive the role of partners in implementing innovations in rice field cultivationlocal governments and farmers' institutions have played a role, while universities and the private sector/entrepreneurs are in the category of having quite a role.

Abstract

The study aims to formulate a strategy for developing farmer groups in Sungai Raya District. This study uses a descriptive approach with a SWOT analysis to identify the actual conditions of farmers, while Analytical Business Questions Model (ABQM) was applied to determine priority strategies based on the urgency of the problem and institutional potential. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation of farmer group in 13 villages. The results showed that Sungai Raya District has significant agricultural potential, supported by land availability, commodity diversity, and support from agricultural extension workers. However, several weakness exist, such as limited capacity, utilizing agricultural technology, increasing access to capital, and developing innovations based on the experience of farmer group members are key factors in supporting the sustainability of farmer groups.
