Abstract

Agricultural mechanization is one of the important components for modern agriculture in achieving sustainable food self-sufficiency targets. In fact, advances in mechanization technology will make agriculture triumphant, so that Indonesia as the world's food barn can be realized.  This study aims to see how the development of innovation-based agricultural mechanization, as well as how the efficiency of agricultural products in the application of agricultural mechanization. The government through the Ministry of Agriculture has created many works to build mechanization 4.0, including (1) rice seed spreading drones, (2) rice planting robots, (3) autonomous tractors, and (4) integrated harvesting plus tillage machines. These four agricultural machines can be a solution for Indonesian farmers in running a modern farming business. The government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, has distributed agricultural machinery assistance in an effort to help farmers.  The use of rice transplanter (transplanting machinery) can save 30 percent of planting costs compared to conventional planting methods. Nationally, the cost of planting that can be saved reaches Rp 8.6 trillion every year. Weeding tools, the use of weeding machines is three times faster than conventional methods with a savings value of Rp 7 trillion in weeding costs. The use of tractors for soil cultivation can also reduce the use of conventional labor with faster operationalization.  The use of agricultural machinery, both pre- and post-harvest, is a driving force for accelerating the process of increasing production and farming efficiency so that farmers get greater benefits.

Abstract

Every country has efforts to fulfill food. In order to ensure a fair and equitable food supply at the community, household and individual levels in accordance with the purchasing power to meet food needs. Therefore, an alternative food buffer model is needed in each region, especially in big cities. This paper recommends a big city food buffer model with at least five areas that become the main functions of TTIC/DC. First, the field of supply management. Second, supply reserve management. Third, supply distribution management. Fourth, institutional management of food cooperation. Fifth, e-commerce-based information technology system. Food supply to big cities can be done by optimizing nearby areas to be more effective and efficient, and cutting long supply and distribution chains. This is important so that price fluctuations that often occur in big cities can be properly addressed.

The socio-cultural apparatus is one of the supporting factors in realizing the sustainability of food production and consumption in upland communities.  The socio-cultural component in the food production of highland communities strongly emphasizes the value of togetherness, the value of mutual cooperation and religious values. These values are implemented into food production activities from land preparation to harvesting such as; "Appada Elo"; "Appatinro Bine"; "Passibaling"; "Ganre Pare Beru".  The socio-cultural component of food consumption in highland communities also emphasizes religious values (a symbol of gratitude to the creator and getting closer to their ancestors), the value of togetherness (serving food to others as a form of respect and appreciation) and prestige values (types of food such as: local varieties of brown rice). These values are wrapped in community norms that have been maintained for generations as an effort to maintain the sustainability of community food production and consumption

Abstract

This study aims to develop strategies to increase the interest of young farmers in Rante Angin District, North Kolaka Regency, through a SWOT analysis. Data were collected from 20 young farmer respondents aged 15–35 years old using observation, interviews, questionnaires, and literature review.
