Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of customary law and the concept of ethnoecology in supporting sustainable agricultural practices, while analyzing their integration as a model of agriculture based on local wisdom. The study used a qualitative approach with field study and literature study methods. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and focus group discussions with customary leaders and farmers, while secondary data were obtained from customary documents and related literature. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles & Huberman through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions through source triangulation. The results show that customary law plays a role as a local regulation in agricultural management, while ethnoecology exists as a technical practice that maintains ecosystem balance. The integration of the two forms a sustainable agricultural system, not only increasing productivity but also maintaining environmental sustainability and strengthening social solidarity. This study confirms that customary law not only has social value but is also an ecological instrument relevant to modern sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

The West Papua Provincial Government in 2018 declared West Papua as a Province of Sustainable Development, which was reinforced by the enactment of Regional Regulation No. 10 of 2019.  In its development, West Papua Province was then divided into two provinces, namely West Papua and West Papua South. With the enactment of the second revision of the Special Autonomy Law No. 2 of 2021, the threat of regional division has grown, including the shrinking of productive agricultural land in food-producing areas.  The objectives of this study are to (1) examine the development of provincial conservation policies in West Papua; (2) explore the agenda for regional division accompanied by commitments to sustainable development in West Papua Province; and (3) analyze the production capacity of staple foods in West Papua Province.  This research is a case study in which West Papua Province was deliberately selected. A descriptive method with a desk study approach was used as the data analysis method. The results of the study concluded that (1) the current West Papua Conservation Province policy is not running as it should; (2) the policy of forming new autonomous regions (DOB) has caused each cultural entity to focus on expanding itself and neglecting the sustainable development commitments initiated since 2015; and (3) the production of staple food commodities, particularly rice, in West Papua has experienced a drastic decline over the past five years, threatening local food security.  West Papua is projected to face a rice deficit of 23.27 tons by 2025.

Abstract

Local farmers in Bintuni District do not yet understand cultivation techniques properly, resulting in low agricultural production. The purpose of this training was to provide an understanding of organic farming and improve the skills of farmers from the Meyah tribe in the Bintuni District, Teluk Bintuni Regency, in making organic fertilizers and organic pesticides. The training used discussion and practice methods. During the discussion session, the Unipa PkM team presented agricultural cultivation techniques, organic farming, and pest and disease control. Participants were very enthusiastic in listening to the material presented and provided a lot of feedback regarding obstacles encountered in the field. In the practical session, participants were given the opportunity to make organic pesticides from garlic and papaya leaves. In the final activity, participants made organic fertilizer from weeds, kitchen waste (vegetable scraps, etc.), and organic fertilizer from market waste. Both methods were very effective because they generated community enthusiasm, as can be seen from the responses given. Based on respondent data, there was an 85% increase in understanding of organic farming and cultivation techniques.

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

Background. The integration of local knowledge in science education is considered an effective approach to bridging the gap between theoretical content and students’ real-life experiences. Ethnoecology, which examines the relationship between communities and their natural environment through culturally transmitted practices, provides a relevant framework for contextualizing biology learning, particularly in agrarian settings. Purpose. This study aims to examine how the integration of ethnoecology in biology education can enhance students’ interest in the agricultural sector. Method. A qualitative design was employed using a literature review and conceptual analysis. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, and prior studies related to ethnoecology, local wisdom-based learning, and biology education. The analysis was conducted through systematic source selection, conceptual categorization, and thematic interpretation. Results. The findings indicate that the ethnoecological approach improves students’ understanding of ecological concepts, increases the relevance of learning to everyday life, and promotes appreciation of local agricultural practices as both scientific knowledge and cultural heritage. Conclusion. The integration of ethnoecology into biology learning is an effective strategy for enhancing students’ interest in agriculture while supporting the preservation of local knowledge and the development of sustainable agricultural practices.
