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

The increasing volume of agricultural waste in Indonesia presents both environmental challenges and opportunities for economic development. This study explores the management of agricultural waste as an alternative energy source and as a basis for value-added products through a qualitative approach. Data were collected from five key informants, including farmers, entrepreneurs, and government officers involved in agricultural waste management. The findings reveal that agricultural waste can be effectively converted into bioenergy, organic fertilizers, animal feed, and eco-friendly products, contributing to environmental sustainability and local economic growth. Challenges identified include limited technical knowledge, inadequate infrastructure, regulatory gaps, and market access constraints. The study highlights the importance of technology adoption, stakeholder collaboration, and supportive policies to optimize agricultural waste utilization in Indonesia.
