Abstract

The Ministry of Agriculture has implemented the Rice Farming Insurance (RFI) Program in Indonesia since 2015 to protect farmers from possible loss of crop failure due to various potential disasters such as floods, drought, pests, etc. Although it has been immensely encouraged by the relevant field agencies, this RFI program was unsuccessful. The land area that follows the RFI program in Tanah Datar District decreased significantly from 1,061 Ha (2016) to about 150 Ha (2017), of the total target area of 2,300 Ha. This study is conducted to find factors that lead to decreased farmer participation in this RFI program, mainly by studying how the government has done the socialization process and how farmers' actual attitude towards this RFI program? By applying qualitative and quantitative approaches, this study obtained the empirical facts that the socialization process, done by relevant stakeholders, including government, private and community leaders, and farmers, not so intensified. The attitude of farmers to this program showed that, in the cognitive aspects, most farmers in all five categories still do not fully understand and confident about the RFI program. It is similar to their affective elements; most farmers in the five categories have not yet determined attitudes, whether they like or dislike the RFI program. Meanwhile, only in terms of their conative aspects, mostly farmers of all categories are eager to learn more and become the RFI program participant.

Abstract

The research was conducted on three small islands of the marine conservation area of West Sumatra, namely Kasiak Island, Bindalang Island, and Karabak Ketek Island from January to December 2016. This research aimed to study the variation of the biophysical character of the nesting habitat of the green turtle (Chelonia mydas L, 1758) by survey method, measurement, observation, and analysis. All data were analyzed using Main Component Analysis (PCA), Kruskal Wallis Test Analysis. Based on PCA analysis, the contribution of the main character is 43.28%. These results are supported by biophysical conditions of spawning habitats for green turtles on Karabak Ketek Island as an ideal island of spawning sites favored by green turtles compared to the location of Bindalang Island and Kasiak Island habitats. Kruskal Wallis analysis of Karabak Island rank; 11.90, with a chi-square value; 10.47, sig value 0.005 (5% -10%). This value shows the difference between the spawning habitat's biophysical character on the character of the coastal slope parameter (KP) is 9.60°. It is also the ideal slope value for the sandy beach habitat (PSe) and fine sandy beaches (PHA) as the central spawning location for green turtles in West Sumatra

Abstract

The study evaluated factors affecting the selection of agricultural farming models and advantages, difficulties, and opportunities in the implementation process to propose solutions to develop appropriate agricultural sustainable farming models. The study uses secondary and primary data through KIP interviews, focus group interviews, in-depth interviews, and farmer interviews. As a result, this study found education is an important factor affecting farmers in choosing their farming models and increasing agricultural production in their farmland. For most of the considered factors, the majority of Kinh people choose to evaluate the influence of the decision in choosing a farming model higher than another ethnic group (Khmer). Besides, the Khmer ethnic group accounts for a higher proportion of poor households (18.2%) than the Kinh group. Because of low economic conditions, decisions on agricultural production of Khmer ethnic groups are less assertive than that of the Kinh people. On the other hand, there is a serious shortage of water in the dry season in the highlands, cultivated mainly by rainwater, ethnic minority accounts for 53.36% of the whole commune population, educational level makes it difficult to apply modern techniques in production. Therefore, strengthening and mobilizing people, investing in building upland irrigation systems, and using effective land conversion are essential activities to be carried out to improve the efficiency of farming models to make sustainable agricultural production that can increase income and enhance the economic life of local people.

Abstract

This study analyzes the existing fish farming economic aspects' due to Community Direct Aid (CDA) intervention in the fish production center in Muaro Jambi Regency, Jambi Province. The research methodology uses survey methods. The data collection tool uses a questionnaire survey, and data analysis uses descriptive analysis, mathematical analysis, and income analysis. As a result, the fish farming of catfish farmers can generate income in a total of Rp. 660,272.410,- with the ability to generate income in 511% and efficient in using production costs. The implications of government political policy intervention on farmers as the activator subject of the economic aspects of fish farming business raise six items (60%) have positive effects, and four items (40%) have adverse effects. In conclusion, the income of fish farming in conditions that can generate overall income. The impact of government policy intervention on farmers as the driving subject of aquaculture's economic aspects.

Abstract

Saline intrusion (SI) is causing serious risks for agriculture and coastal life in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. Maintaining agricultural production under that challenging condition places more tremendous pressure on rural societies. This study aimed to get insight into adaptive adaptation's forms and factors influencing farmers' participation process by applying the social and ecological approach. The research was conducted in An Bien district, Kien Giang province, a province in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. A mixed-method integrating quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect data using key informant panel interviews, group discussion, and household survey. The results showed that local farmers had changed the farming system from double rice crops to shrimp-rice models to deal with the impacts of SI. Group response has emerged as the appropriate adaption in both formal and informal forms. The adaptive group plays an essential role in connecting community members, and two forms of adaptation have worked closely to adapt to SI. Factors affecting the informal group related to relatives, households living close to each other; For the formal group, the main factor affecting participation is when joining the group, the members receive benefits from the group. Besides, prestige and having a lot of experience in the leader's production activities affect the official group participation. In addition to the positive factors, two negative factors affect group adaptation: unfavorable farm location and distrust

Abstract

This study was conducted at Laboratory in An Giang University; the varieties examined were collected from farmer households in 2018 – they were varieties that the farmer stored for the next crop (Winter-Spring) from Autumn-Winter crop in Cho Moi district, An Giang Province, Vietnam. The research evaluated the quality of seed rice, which is provided and planted by the farmer. As a result, this study showed that almost all of the varieties of seed rice from farmer households indicated the ratio of filled-grain, the germination, and the determination of seedling healthy, which are lower than certified variation. Besides, the samples of seed rice from farmer household have more infected fungal; especially the samples with higher in a filled-grain ratio is less infected by fungi, there were 12 types of seed borne-fungi in rice varieties from the farmer (in Cho Moi district), included: Alternaria padwickii, Rhizoctonia solani, Aspergillus oryzae, Bipolaris oryzae, Cercospora janseana, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium moniliforme, Pyricularia oryzae, Sarocladium oryzae, Tilletia barclayana, Fusarium graminearum, and Ustilaginoidea virens
