Abstract

Shifting cultivation systems are often considered unsustainable practices, yet many indigenous communities have developed this agricultural model ecologically and socially. In this context, it is important to review how local ecological knowledge plays a role in shaping sustainable agricultural systems and how the integration of sustainable agriculture concepts can strengthen these local practices. This study aims to explore the relationship between sustainable agricultural principles and local ecological practices in shifting cultivation, using an environmental anthropology approach. The main focus is to explore the meaning, values, and strategies of traditional agriculture as part of an adaptive social-ecological system. The research method used is qualitative ethnographic with participatory observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and case studies in shifting cultivation farming communities in the interior. The results of the study show that the shifting cultivation system contains the principles of diversification, land rotation, ecological control based on customary norms, and spiritual values towards nature. This system has indirectly created ecological and social sustainability without the intervention of modern technology. The conclusion of this study confirms that sustainability does not always have to be constructed through a technocratic approach, but can be built through recognition of local ecological practices.

Abstract

This study investigates the interrelationships among Ethnoecological Knowledge, Climate Adaptation Strategies, and Farmer Innovation in fostering Sustainable Agriculture in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 150 smallholder farmers across Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi through structured questionnaires measured on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS 3) to test the direct, indirect, and mediating relationships among the constructs. The findings reveal that ethnoecological knowledge significantly enhances both climate adaptation and farmer innovation, indicating that traditional ecological wisdom remains a critical foundation for modern sustainability practices. Climate adaptation strategies have a dual role—directly strengthening sustainability and indirectly fostering innovation. Furthermore, farmer innovation mediates the relationship between traditional knowledge and sustainability, serving as a transformational bridge from cultural heritage to adaptive modernization. The model explains 69% of the variance in sustainable agriculture, confirming its strong predictive power. The study provides theoretical contributions by integrating the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) and offers practical recommendations for policymakers to strengthen local wisdom, participatory innovation, and adaptive learning in rural development. These findings underscore that Indonesia’s agricultural transformation depends not on abandoning tradition, but on revitalizing it through innovation-driven adaptation toward sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the position and role of customary law as a legal source in environmental protection efforts in Indonesia. Employing a normative juridical approach, the research analyzes statutory regulations, court decisions, and relevant legal documents to assess the extent to which customary law is recognized and implemented within the national environmental legal framework. The findings indicate that, constitutionally, customary law is acknowledged through Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution. However, this recognition has not been fully followed by integration into sectoral laws such as the Environmental Protection Act, the Forestry Act, and the Mining Law. In fact, customary law holds significant potential in realizing ecological justice, as it embodies long-standing values of conservation, sustainability, and collective responsibility toward nature. Therefore, the revitalization of customary law is crucial through regulatory strengthening, the establishment of regional regulations recognizing Indigenous communities, and the harmonization of state and customary law. These efforts are expected to enhance environmental protection based on local wisdom.

Abstract

Sustainable agricultural development has become increasingly urgent due to environmental degradation, climate change, and rural socio-economic inequality caused by high-input modern agricultural systems. In this context, ethnoecology-based traditional agricultural systems offer an alternative framework grounded in local ecological knowledge, cultural values, and community-based resource governance. This study aims to analyze how traditional agricultural systems can be formulated as a strategic approach to sustainable agricultural development within modern policy frameworks. The research employed a qualitative design using in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis in rural communities practicing traditional agriculture. Data were analyzed through thematic coding and an interactive model of data reduction, display, and interpretation. The findings reveal three main dimensions: ecological sustainability through diversification and agroforestry practices; socio-institutional resilience through customary governance; and potential hybridization with modern technologies such as precision irrigation and climate-smart tools. The study concludes that integrating traditional ecological knowledge with contemporary agricultural innovation and legal recognition of customary institutions can strengthen inclusive and resilient sustainable agricultural development.
