Abstract

The transition from conventional farming to organic continues to increase over time. Organic farming, especially organic rice, is becoming something that farmers are interested in because of higher prices and increased consumer demand for organic food products. However, the transition to conventional farming will eventually be followed by the emergence of risks in farming production. This study investigates the factors influencing the production and production risks of organic and non-organic rice farming in Sleman Regency. A total of 45 farmers were sampled in this study, which was determined by purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out by interview method. The Just and Pope approach of production risk is used in analyzing the determinants of production and production risk. The analysis results show that the membership period in farmer groups, land area, education, and manure significantly affects farming production. At the same time, organic rice farming is proven to produce higher production than non-organic. The factor that significantly increases production risk is the length of membership in farmer groups. Farmers who join farmer groups have the potential to face higher production risks. This research implies that it is important for the government to provide support by empowering farmer groups to support organic rice farming. Intensive assistance can be carried out to ensure that the role of the chairperson and members of the farmer group functions optimally.

Abstract

This study investigates the resilience strategies of rice farmers in Manyaran District, Wonogiri Regency, in adapting to agricultural challenges and diversifying into the horticultural sector. The research is grounded in resilience and adaptation in agricultural systems, emphasizing crop diversification as a strategy to sustain farmer livelihoods amidst environmental and economic pressures. In May and June 2024, the study utilized surveys, observations, structured interviews, and a literature review to collect data. 42 rice-farming households across seven villages in Manyaran District were selected through simple random sampling. The sample comprised middle-aged farmers aged 40–50, With an average age of 45 years, as younger populations often migrate to urban areas, leaving agriculture dominated by this demographic. Descriptive data analysis using simple tabulation was employed to illustrate the conditions of the studied area. The findings reveal that farmers in Manyaran District exhibit strong learning capacities, which enhance their resilience. They adapted by transforming rice fields into horticultural areas and experimenting with various horticultural commodities. Technological flexibility, including the use of social media for acquiring and sharing horticultural knowledge, played a crucial role in their adaptation. Information exchange among farmers further contributed to the sustainability of their livelihoods.  This research highlights the importance of crop diversification as a strategy for farmers to adapt to shifting environmental and economic conditions. The results underscore the adaptability and resilience of Manyaran farmers in sustaining agricultural practices despite ongoing challenges, offering insights for broader agricultural adaptation strategies.
