Abstract

Despite a high awareness of its benefits, the adoption rate of farm business diversification in Indonesia remains low, indicating a complex decision-making process beyond simple economic calculation. This study explores the lived experiences of farmers in Sidomulyo Village, Batu City, to understand the perspectives, driving factors, and obstacles influencing their diversification decisions. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research involved in-depth interviews with 23 informants, including farmers practicing various forms of diversification, non-diversifiers, and key village stakeholders. The findings reveal that diversification decisions are a non-linear social journey, triggered by critical moments such as crop failure, and mediated by learning from trusted “innovator farmer” role models. Social capital within farmer groups functions paradoxically as both an enabler, through information exchange and safety nets, and a constraint, through conformity pressures. Farmers demonstrate creative agency by utilizing traditional practices like gotong royong to overcome structural limitations in infrastructure and market access, yet remain constrained by them. Crucially, the meaning of diversification extends beyond income stability to encompass identity as innovators, a strategy for intergenerational succession, and nascent ecological awareness, with women often acting as the hidden drivers of change. This research critiques top-down extension models, recommending policies that facilitate social learning, strengthen both bonding and bridging social capital, and address gendered constraints to foster more resilient and sustainable agricultural livelihoods.

Abstract

This study aims to map the development of agricultural technology innovation research in supporting food security using a bibliometric approach. The analysis was conducted on a dataset of scientific publications indexed in selected academic databases during the period 2015–2025, serving as the unit of analysis to identify conceptual structures, thematic clusters, research evolution, and emerging research gaps. The keyword visualisation results show the dominance of the themes of precision agriculture, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), smart farming, and digital agriculture as the main drivers of the transformation of modern agricultural systems. The cluster map shows a close relationship between technological innovation, sustainability, and food security, while the density–centrality analysis places precision agriculture and digital agriculture as motor themes with high centrality and density. Thematic evolution shows a shift from the conservation and sustainability paradigm towards data-based and artificial intelligence-based agricultural systems integrated with digital governance and the circular economy. Although technology is the dominant focus, aspects of farmer adoption, governance, digital inclusion, and policy integration remain strategic research gaps. These findings confirm that the transformation of agriculture towards a resilient food system requires multidisciplinary integration between technological innovation, environmental sustainability, and institutional and public policy support.
