<![CDATA[Raam Island, located in the Sorong Islands District, is a coastal area with quite high natural resource potential, but faces various challenges in developing the agricultural sector. This study aims to analyze the agricultural cultivation system implemented by the community in the coastal areas of Raam Island, with a focus on the physical condition of the land, existing cultivation practices, constraints faced by farmers, and opportunities for development based on local technology and innovation. The methods used include field observation, interviews with farmers, SWOT analysis and related literature studies. The results of the study showed that 53.3% of the people of Raam Island did not understand the techniques of cultivating crops on sandy land, 30.0% understood and 16.7% were unsure. The mentoring program for cultivating crops on sandy land for the people of Raam Island is still low, namely 83% agreed that mentoring is necessary, and the remaining 17% were still unsure. The cultivation system applied is still simple with a mixed cropping pattern using plants that are relatively tolerant to marginal land conditions such as cassava (Manihot esculenta), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), Gedi (Abelmoschus manihot), areca nut (Areca catechu) and banana (Musa parasisiaca). The crop cultivation system is still a yard system. Limited fresh water, high salinity, and low soil fertility are the main obstacles in agricultural cultivation in this region. On the other hand, the existence of biodiversity and local knowledge are potentials that can be optimized. The results of the SWOT analysis show an IFAS score of 3, and an EFAS score of 3.25, which is included in the high category for the development and management of agrotourism-based land resources on Raam Island]]>
