Abstract

The study aimed to find out the prospects of Development integrated farming business of beef cattle and cashew nuts. The study was carried out from March to May 2021. Respondents of the study consisted of beef cattle farmers who also grow cashew nuts. Sample of the location were determined purposively for a reason that not all sub districts are located in Muna regency, only a few out of 22 sub districts in total. Samples of sub districts and villages were selected purposively on a consideration that there were both beef cattle cattle and cashew nuts in the selected sub districts and villages. Samples of cattle breeders were determined with a random sampling, meaning that all breeders had equal opportunities to be selected. Data and the study were obtained by means of direct interviews, which were analyzed by Feasibility Tally Sheet. Based on the research results can be concluded. The research results show that integrated cattle and cashew farming has prospects for development with each rating, namely technical (7), economic (7), social (4), financial (4) and factors management (6) .

Abstract

Food security is one of the main pillars of sustainable development in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas that still rely on the agricultural sector as their primary source of livelihood. This study aims to examine farmer empowerment strategies based on the local wisdom of the Muna community using a socio-cultural approach as an effort to strengthen food security. Local wisdom of the Muna community, such as the kaghombo mutual cooperation system, rotating land management (kafo), and the karia harvest festival tradition, serve as social instruments that influence sustainable food production, distribution, and consumption patterns. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. The results show that local wisdom plays a significant role in building social solidarity, maintaining the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems, and minimizing the risk of crop failure. Effective empowerment strategies include strengthening customary-based farmer groups, training in agricultural technology aligned with local wisdom, and collaboration between traditional leaders, local government, and non-governmental organizations. The implications of this study indicate that integrating local values into farmer empowerment programs can improve food security while maintaining the cultural identity of the Muna community. Thus, a socio-cultural approach based on local wisdom is not only relevant to the local context of Muna but can also be replicated in other regions with similar social and cultural characteristics.

Abstract

Empowering local farmers is a strategic step in strengthening food security and economic independence for rural communities. In the digital era, agribusiness innovation emphasizes not only increased productivity but also the integration of local wisdom values ​​as the social and cultural foundation of agrarian communities. This literature review aims to analyze how digital technology-based innovation can strengthen the position of local farmers through an approach rooted in local culture and traditions. This research examines various sources from national and international journals from 2020–2025 that discuss the relationship between digital technology, sustainable agribusiness, and the preservation of local wisdom values. The study's results indicate that the integration of digital technology in agribusiness, such as the use of agricultural e-commerce, smart farming, and digital community platforms, can increase production efficiency and market access for farmers. However, the implementation of these innovations is more effective when accompanied by a humanistic approach that respects local traditions and strengthens the social role of farmers as guardians of agrarian culture. Thus, agribusiness innovation based on local wisdom is a crucial strategy in addressing the challenges of globalization and climate change, while simultaneously maintaining the socio-economic sustainability of rural communities.

Abstract

Technical and economic efficiency are key indicators in evaluating farm performance, particularly in the context of limited land resources, input constraints, and the challenges posed by climate change. This study aims to systematically review existing literature that employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Frontier Production Function approaches particularly Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to measure farm efficiency in Indonesia and other developing countries. DEA provides a non-parametric means of assessing technical efficiency without assuming a specific production function, whereas frontier approaches offer parametric analysis by incorporating random disturbances in the production process. Based on a review of 20 selected articles, the findings reveal that farmers' technical efficiency generally ranges from 60% to 85%, while economic efficiency tends to be lower due to input-output price imbalances and limited access to market information. Key factors influencing efficiency include farmers’ education level, farm size, technology adoption, and participation in farmer groups. This study highlights the strengths of these quantitative approaches as data-driven tools for agricultural policy formulation at both micro (farm) and macro (national policy) levels. The findings underscore the importance of integrating DEA and SFA methods to provide a more comprehensive picture of farm performance. Enhancing efficiency thus requires a combination of technical training, agricultural digitalization, and the development of inclusive policies that support smallholder farmers in a sustainable manner.
