Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms of livelihood strategies and household livelihood patterns of the Kuda Laut Farmer Group in Sapolohe Village, Bontobahari District, Bulukumba Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a snowball sampling technique involving 10 members of the farmer group as informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that seaweed-farming households apply multiple livelihood strategies consisting of on-farm, off-farm, and non-farm strategies. The on-farm strategy is carried out through seaweed cultivation as the main source of income and capture fishing as an additional occupation. The off-farm strategy includes collecting seaweed and providing transportation services for fishery products, while the non-farm strategy includes construction labor, grocery stalls, phone-credit kiosks, and BRI link services. The sustainability of these strategies is supported by livelihood assets consisting of natural, human, physical, social, and financial capital. Social capital in the form of mutual cooperation and human capital in the form of family labor are the most prominent supporting factors. Household livelihood patterns tend to take the form of multiple livelihoods strengthened by job diversification, the use of family labor, and the migration of family members. This study recommends strengthening group legality, access to capital, and post-harvest training to increase the added value of seaweed.

Abstract

Jeneponto Regency is a salt-producing area in South Sulawesi with great potential for small-scale salt production growth. This study aims to trace the flow of small-scale salt products and reveal logistical barriers and relationships between actors in the supply chain. A qualitative approach was used through semi-structured interviews with 38 salt farmers, 3 traders, and 2 distributors. The results of the study show that the flow of small-scale salt from upstream to downstream is hampered by a long, fragmented, and unintegrated supply chain, which slows down distribution. The contribution of this study to critical logistics points is evident in the limited storage facilities and various logistical constraints that prevent the optimal implementation of post-harvest salt procedures, resulting in low-quality salt. The market structure also shows a pattern of a controlled value chain, where farmers are highly dependent on a single dominant actor, namely the collector trader, who controls the community's salt supply chain, forming a captured value chain pattern. This research provides scientific contributions through efforts to develop community salt logistics capable of improving salt quality, while also providing policy recommendations for the government through the strengthening of farmer institutions to reduce dependence on collectors and increase bargaining power in the value chain.

Abstract

Climate change poses a growing threat to the sustainability of agricultural systems and food security across numerous countries. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) has emerged as a strategic instrument for simultaneously increasing agricultural productivity, strengthening adaptive capacity, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector. In Indonesia, CSA implementation has been operationalized through the Strategic Irrigation Modernization and Urgent Rehabilitation Project (SIMURP) since 2021. Despite this, the level of CSA technology adoption among farmers remains uneven and suboptimal. This study aims to analyze the determinants of simultaneous adoption of six CSA practices namely improved seed varieties, Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) irrigation, balanced fertilization, organic matter application, organic fertilizer use, and integrated pest management (IPM). This study was carried out in Bukateja and Kemangkon Districts, Purbalingga Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 88 respondent farmers were selected as the study sample through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Multivariate Probit (MVP) model, which accommodates correlations across simultaneous adoption decisions of multiple CSA practices within a single estimation framework. The results indicate that CSA adoption decisions are significantly influenced by education, farming experience, land area, land tenure status, farmer group membership, access to credit, and farm income, with varying degrees of influence observed across individual CSA practices. Farm income uniquely predicted adoption of all six CSA technologies simultaneously, establishing financial capacity as the most critical and universal driver of CSA adoption.

Abstract

The development of sustainable beef cattle farming through the utilization of eco-friendly local resources is crucial to supporting the transformation of the green farm system in Indonesia. One potential innovation is the use of natural phytobiotic-based feed ingredients to enhance livestock health and productivity. This research aims to explore the potential utilization of sweet potato leaf meal as a phytobiotic feed additive in beef cattle farming within Bone Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The research method employed is a qualitative field study approach conducted through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The research informants include beef cattle farmers, agricultural extension workers, and academics selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data display, and thematic conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that sweet potato leaves contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and antioxidants, which have the potential to improve livestock health, enhance the digestive system, and increase the efficiency of feed nutrient utilization. The utilization of sweet potato leaf meal is also considered capable of reducing dependence on synthetic antibiotics and commercial feed, lowering production costs, and optimizing the use of agricultural waste. However, implementation at the farmer level still faces obstacles in the form of limited knowledge, simple processing technology, and the lack of standardization for phytobiotic feed formulations. This study concludes that sweet potato leaf meal has great prospects as a phytobiotic innovation in supporting the sustainability of green farms in Bone Regency.

Abstract

This study analyzes the socio-economic characteristics of cabbage farmer households in Sudajaya Girang Village, Selabintana District, Sukabumi Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using purposive sampling to select 30 cabbage farmers as respondents. The study utilized both primary and secondary data. Descriptive analysis was conducted to examine farmers’ socio-economic characteristics, while farm performance was assessed through cost, revenue, income, and Income Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio) analyses. The results indicate that most farmers (53.33%) were of productive age, while the majority had a low level of formal education, with 56.67% completing only elementary school. Farmers generally possessed considerable farming experience and had a moderate number of family dependents. The average landholding size was 0.18 hectares, and most respondents (63.33%) cultivated their own land. These characteristics reflect the dominance of small-scale family farming in the study area. Economically, cabbage farming generated an average net income of IDR 12,564,017 per planting season, equivalent to IDR 66,533,996 per hectare. The calculated R/C ratio of 4.95 demonstrates that cabbage farming is highly profitable and financially feasible. This means that every IDR 1.00 spent on production costs generated IDR 4.95 in revenue. Income from cabbage cultivation also contributed substantially to overall household earnings. The findings suggest that socio-economic characteristics, land ownership, and farm resources play important roles in determining farm performance and household welfare. Therefore, policies that improve farmers’ access to production inputs, strengthen agricultural extension services, and enhance farm management skills are essential to maintain profitability and improve the economic resilience of cabbage farming households.

Abstract

Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) is a strategic essential oil commodity in South Sulawesi, particularly in West Malangke District, North Luwu Regency. Despite its economic potential, many farmers still rely on traditional cultivation methods without adequate technical guidance. This study aimed to analyze the level of farmers' knowledge of patchouli cultivation techniques and to identify the factors influencing it. A quantitative survey approach was employed with 175 respondents selected through simple random sampling from a population of 1,268 patchouli farmers. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Variance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (VB-SEM). Results showed that the overall level of farmers' knowledge was high (mean score = 79.48), covering technical cultivation (75.00), farm management (93.36), and post-harvest handling (70.09). Internal factors — comprising age, education level, farming experience, and training — had a significant positive effect on farmers' knowledge (T-statistic = 4.238, p = 0.000). Agricultural extension also significantly influenced farmers' knowledge (T-statistic = 2.890, p = 0.004), although extension visit frequency and duration remained low. External factors (information access, production input access, and social conditions) showed no significant direct effect (p = 0.347). The three variables collectively explained 13.7% of knowledge variability. These findings highlight the need for structured technical training programs, commodity-specific extension intensification focusing on patchouli, and prioritized improvement of post-harvest knowledge to enhance product quality and farmers' economic value.

Abstract

Integrated rice–beef cattle farming systems are promoted as a sustainable agricultural strategy to improve resource-use efficiency and enhance farmers’ income through the integration of crop and livestock enterprises. However, empirical evidence regarding the determinants of farm income in integrated farming systems remains limited at the local level. This study aimed to analyze the effects of land area, production costs, and labor on farm income in integrated rice–beef cattle farming systems in Kahu District, Bone Regency. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted from January to April 2025 involving 68 integrated farmers selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using a log-linear multiple regression model estimated by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). The results showed that land area had a positive and significant effect on farm income (β = 0.614; p < 0.001), while production costs (β = 0.115; p = 0.550) and labor (β = 0.048; p = 0.800) had positive but statistically insignificant effects. Simultaneously, all explanatory variables significantly affected farm income (F = 28.686; p < 0.001), with the model explaining 57.3% of the variation in farm income (R² = 0.573). These findings indicate that farm scale remains the dominant determinant of income in integrated farming systems. Policies supporting land optimization, integrated farming management, and resource-use efficiency are needed to strengthen the sustainability of smallholder farmers’ income.

Abstract

The digital transformation of agriculture has reshaped how extension information is produced, delivered, and used by farmers. This study synthesizes research on agricultural extension communication in the artificial intelligence (AI) era, identifies major communication changes, and examines the benefits, challenges, and social implications of AI-based advisory services. A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA 2020 framework. Articles published from 2019 to 2025 were searched in Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar. After identification, duplicate removal, screening, eligibility assessment, and quality appraisal, 15 studies that directly met the inclusion criteria were analyzed through content analysis and thematic synthesis. The findings show that AI shifts extension communication from a conventional, linear, and top-down model toward a data-driven, interactive, personalized, and participatory advisory system. Machine learning, decision support systems, predictive analytics, agricultural chatbots, virtual assistants, and smart farming platforms improve information delivery, advisory personalization, and farmer decision-making. However, implementation is constrained by rural digital divides, limited technological literacy, data quality and bias, algorithmic opacity, inadequate infrastructure, and the risk of weakening farmer-extension worker relationships. The study proposes a Human-Centered AI Extension Communication Model that positions AI as an augmenting tool for participatory extension rather than as a substitute for the social, cultural, and facilitative roles of agricultural extension workers.

Abstract

The aging livestock farmer phenomenon and low youth participation threaten the sustainability of smallholder beef cattle agribusiness. This study aims to analyze the effect of technological modernization on the regeneration interest of young livestock farmers in Mamasa Regency. An explanatory quantitative approach was employed, involving 73 youth respondents from farming families selected via purposive sampling. Primary data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results demonstrated that perceived operational ease through mechanization, expectation of financial gain via digital marketing, and social image improvement from modern infrastructure partially and simultaneously have a positive and significant impact on youth regeneration interest. The expectation of financial gain proved to be the most dominant pull factor. In conclusion, technological modernization serves as a robust catalyst to dismantle the stigma of manual labor and foster agribusiness succession. Therefore, it is recommended that the government transitions from providing partial agricultural assistance to developing an integrated innovation ecosystem, while rural youth are encouraged to establish millennial farmer institutions to strengthen market bargaining power.
