Abstract

In the face of global environmental challenges and the urgent need for sustainable development, agriculture takes center stage as a catalyst for transformative change. This bibliometric analysis explores the extensive body of literature pertaining to the impact of sustainable agricultural practices on the economic sustainability of farmers, offering a comprehensive overview of the existing scholarly landscape. Sustainable agricultural practices encompass a range of environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable farming methods, from organic farming to integrated pest management. This analysis seeks to identify trends, patterns, and knowledge gaps within this domain, mapping the intellectual structure, highlighting key themes, influential authors, and prominent journals. By systematically examining the literature, it provides valuable insights into the current state of knowledge, emerging research frontiers, and areas warranting further exploration, ultimately contributing to the creation of a more sustainable and economically viable future for farming communities worldwide.

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of market price, land area, and education on the income of salak farmers in Pangu Village, North Sulawesi, utilizing a quantitative research approach. Through a survey of 150 salak farmers and regression analysis using SPSS version 26, the study examines the relationships between these variables and farmers' income levels. The findings reveal that market price, land area, and education significantly influence farmers' income, with higher prices, larger landholdings, and higher education levels associated with increased income. These results underscore the importance of market conditions, land resources, and human capital in shaping the economic well-being of agricultural communities. The insights provided by this study can inform policy interventions and agricultural development initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable livelihoods and enhancing the prosperity of salak farmers in Pangu Village and similar rural areas.

Abstract

This research investigates the qualitative effects of soil pH variation on peanut plant growth, aiming to provide insights into the complex interactions between soil properties and plant responses in agricultural ecosystems. Through semi-structured interviews with ten informants, supplemented by insights synthesized from prior research and theoretical frameworks, the study explores perceived relationships, implications for soil health and nutrient availability, challenges, opportunities, and practical implications for peanut production. Key findings highlight the critical influence of soil pH on peanut growth and productivity, with deviations from optimal pH levels affecting nutrient availability, root health, and overall plant vigor. Participants underscore the importance of targeted soil management practices, including lime application, organic matter incorporation, and crop rotation, in optimizing soil pH and supporting resilient peanut production systems. The study identifies challenges in soil pH management, such as limited accessibility of soil testing services and inadequate farmer knowledge, while also highlighting opportunities for innovation and improvement. The insights gleaned from the study contribute to advancing knowledge in agricultural sciences and inform evidence-based soil management practices for sustainable peanut production.
