Abstract

Recently, the Indonesian government has sought to secure food production from forestlands by implementing agroforestry in rural areas. Talas beneng or tall elephant ear plant (Xanthosoma undipes) is a potential species for agroforestry that produces medicinal tubers and leaves. It has high productivity and export opportunities, but its management strategy under community forestland needs to be more widely studied. In Ciamis Regency, talas beneng has been cultivated for the last two years, but the progress has not been significant. This study aimed to formulate strategic management for improving its business model by identifying internal and external factors. Two groups of farmers in Ciamis Regency were chosen as the case study. Observation and in-depth interviews with farming group leaders as key informants were employed to gather the existing model business. Internal and external factors were analyzed using a business model canvas (BMC) framework, SWOT analysis and quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM). Results show that the market channels between the two groups of talas beneng producers are slightly different. SWOT analysis shows that both groups have positions in which product development and market penetration are required as strategies to improve future management. Specific strategies that need to be prioritized include 1) improving farming intensification, 2) improving talas beneng product competitiveness, and 3) expanding the business partnership to access market information better.

Abstract

This Study undertakes a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to explore the research trends in the Scopus publications affiliated with the Faculty of Forestry at Gadjah Mada University (FF-UGM) in the generation of knowledge in tropical forestry. A total of 725 publications affiliated with FF-UGM were mined from the Scopus database and analyzed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace. The findings indicate a steady growth in the number of research publications and therefore, the cumulative count of 5,409 citations amounts to an average of 7.5 citations per publication. Furthermore, FF-UGM has engaged collaborations with researchers from all continents, with Japan exhibiting the highest network power through 112 collaborations. In relation to the sources of funding, a total of 518 articles has been granted financial assistance from 159 donors on a global scale, with 133 publications being self sponsored by UGM. The Burst analysis, further, reveals emerging research frontiers to be explored further in future study including deforestation, catchments, agroforestry, and sustainable development. Thematic clustering indicates five big areas with high interdisciplinary approach to forest management, policy, product innovation, silviculture, and biodiversity conservation. The present bibliometric analysis proves that the FF UGM is also changing its areas of interest into sustainable tropical forest ecosystems and serves as a source of both science and policy-related studies.
