Abstract

Cassava is a plant that is easy to grow, offering high potential for development as an alternative food ingredient. Business success is the success of a business actor in achieving their goals. This study aims to determine the impact of raw material quality, farming experience, infrastructure, business competition, and market access on the success of the slondok business in Banjaroyo Village. This study employs a quantitative approach using a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument, conducted from November 2024 to February 2025 in Banjaroyo Village, Kalibawang Sub-district, Kulon Progo Regency. The respondents in this study consisted of 38 slondok business actors, selected using a saturated sample technique. The data analysis technique used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis, conducted using SPSS version 25.0. The results show that the variables of raw material quality (X1), farming experience (X2), facilities and infrastructure (X3), business competition (X4), and market access (X5) have a significant effect simultaneously (together) on the business success with a significance level of 0.018. Partially, raw material quality and farming experience have an effect on business success with a significance value of 0.007 and 0.045, respectively, while facilities and infrastructure, business competition, and market access do not have a significant effect. So, it is necessary to analyze other factors that support the success of the business run by slondok entrepreneurs.

Abstract

Dynamics of the Wana Agung Sejahtera Farmer Group in Rejoagung Village, Sumberwringin Sub-District, Bondowoso Regency. This research aims to analyze the dynamics of the Wana Agung Sejahtera Farmer Group in Rejoagung Village, Sumberwringin Sub-district, Bondowoso Regency. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, grounded in the theory of Johnson and Johnson. Informants were selected purposively, and data were obtained through in-depth interviews and documentation. Data were analyzed using the method by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The results describe the dynamics of the Wana Agung Sejahtera Farmers Group in terms of 7 key elements: group goals, group communication, leadership, decision-making, power utilization, creativity, and conflict management. Two elements show dynamics, namely creativity and power utilization. The element of power utilization in the aspect of group norms includes an unwritten rule regarding member attendance in group activities. The consequence is that members are reprimanded by other members and may receive punishment in the form of social sanctions, such as being ignored or subtly criticized during activities. The creativity element in the aspect of developing creativity demonstrates that the Wana Agung Sejahtera Farmers Group, which initially had limited knowledge about proper coffee cultivation and market access, has now acquired the necessary knowledge and is able to develop creativity in terms of proper coffee cultivation and market access.

Abstract

The sustainable management of natural resources is crucial for maintaining ecosystem sustainability and ensuring long-term fulfillment of basic needs. Farmers in Beruk Village, residing in the upstream area of the Watershed (DAS), are able to meet their basic needs through farming on steep landslide-prone land, which should ideally be designated as conservation areas. The research aims to examine integrated farming practices, assess local institutional support in conservation activities, and identify the sustainability of conservation-based farming efforts. The study employs a qualitative method, conducted in Beruk Village, Jatiyoso Sub-district, Karanganyar Regency. Fifteen informants were selected using purposive and snowball sampling methods. Data analysis utilized the interactive inductive analysis approach by Miles and Huberman. The research findings indicate that farmers in Beruk Village practice integrated farming systems that combine food, feed, and fertilizer concepts. Local institutional support from Beruk Village includes active participation of members in various conservation activities. The study concludes that farmers in Beruk Village implement integrated farming systems combining food, feed, and fertilizer concepts, but not all farmers apply conservation principles in their farming practices. The study recommends enhancing education and intensive training for farmers on the benefits and techniques of implementing conservation practices. This could be achieved through collaboration with educational institutions, local governments, and non-governmental organizations.

Abstract

The Planting Area Expansion (PAT) program aims to optimize rice fields that were previously hampered by water limitations through the use of water pumps to increase water availability during the dry season. The objectives of the study were to analyze farmers’ attitudes towards the PAT program, describe factors that shape these attitudes, and examine the relationship between these factors and farmers’ attitudes in Weru Sub-district, Cirebon Regency. The method used was quantitative with data collection through observation, interviews using questionnaires, and documentation. A total of 77 farmers were determined as respondents using the proportional random sampling technique, and the data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed that most farmers were hesitant regarding the outcomes and impacts of the PAT program due to increased production costs during the dry season, leading them to disagree with its benefits. The farming experience factor had a significant positive relationship with farmers’ attitudes, while formal education, non-formal education, and the role of people considered important had a significant negative relationship. Age and local culture factors did not have a significant relationship with farmers’ attitudes. These results indicate that farming experience contributes to forming a more positive attitude towards the PAT program, while education, intensity of extension, and social roles tend to form attitudes that are hesitant or less supportive. This study suggests that experienced farmers be the main target of the program and reduce the intensity of discussions about the PAT program in agricultural extension activities.
