Abstract

Labor allocation is a crucial aspect in the sustainability of rice farming, particularly in lebak swamp areas that possess unique ecological characteristics and demand adaptive strategies from farmers. This study aims to analyze the internal and external factors influencing labor allocation, as well as the strategies adopted by farmers in managing labor within the context of lebak swamp rice farming. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews involving 30 farmers in Pematang Bangsal Village, Pemulutan Selatan District. The data were analyzed using thematic coding techniques to identify key patterns. The findings reveal that internal factors such as motivation, farming experience, physical health, and farm management significantly affect labor allocation. Meanwhile, external factors include family support, agroecosystem conditions, and access to production inputs. Farmers' adaptive strategies involve intra-household division of labor, the use of hired labor, and adjustment of planting schedules. The study concludes that labor allocation dynamics in lebak swamp rice farming are complex and shaped by the interplay of multiple factors. Therefore, policy interventions and agricultural extension programs must be contextual and sustainable to effectively support labor management in such agroecological settings.

Abstract

Corn is the main commodity in dry land farming for most farmers in NTT Province and acts as a food source to maintain food security and as a source of income (cash income). Kupang Regency is one of the corn centre districts in NTT Province because it prioritises economic development in the agricultural sector in the food crop sub-sector. This study aims to measure the level of allocative efficiency of the use of corn farming production factors. This research was conducted in Kupang Timur District, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province in 2024. The research was conducted using a survey method with simple random sampling. The sample determined as respondents was 92 farmers based on the area of cultivated land. The method used is the calculation of marginal product analysis, used to measure allocative efficiency and economic efficiency, which is measured by the division between technical and allocative efficiency. The results of the research analysis show that the factors that have a significant effect on corn farming production are land area, seeds, urea, KCL, SP36 and Pesticides. Furthermore, from the results of the analysis of allocative and economic efficiency, the efficiency values for the overall farmer category are 0.47 and 0.35, respectively and based on the division of land area, it shows that corn farming in East Kupang District is still inefficient. Corn farming efficiency needs to be improved through the use of production factors that have a significant effect on technical efficiency, such as land area and the addition of technology. Allocative and economic efficiency of corn farming can also be improved by reducing the use of excessive inputs and expensive input prices that which can save high farming costs so that it can affect farmers' income.

Abstract

Indonesia is known as an agricultural country with abundant natural resources, but this condition does not necessarily mean that Indonesians have easy and affordable access to food. Indonesia has been known as a food importer in recent decades. However, serious problems remain in the agricultural workforce. The main problem is the shift in demographic structure that is unfavourable for the agricultural sector, namely the increasing number of older farmers (over 55 years old), while the younger workforce is decreasing. This phenomenon of ageing farmers (ageing farmers) and the decreasing interest of young workers in the agricultural sector. The purpose of this study is to examine how urbanisation, education level, income factors influence youth interest in agriculture. This research was conducted in Bulo Village, Panca Rijang District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency from November to December 2024. The population was 42 young farmers in Bulo Village aged 16-30 years. The data analysis technique used was Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. The results of this study indicate that from the F Test (Simultaneous), all Independent Variables (X) have a significant effect on the Dependent Variable (Y). Meanwhile, the T Test (Partial) Urbanisation Variable (X1), Education Level Variable (X2), and Income Variable (X3) have a significant effect on the Interest (Y) of the young generation in Bulo Village, Panca Rijang District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse student satisfaction with the content and teaching methods of the Agroindustrial and Environmental-Based Entrepreneurship course, which is crucial in shaping students' entrepreneurial mindset and skills in the context of sustainable development. The increasing demand for environmentally conscious entrepreneurs in the agroindustry sector highlights the significance of this course. The research uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey design involving 46 respondents. The results show that, in general, students are satisfied with the content, with an average score of 3.68, falling into the high category (3.41 - 4.20). Specific areas of satisfaction include content relevance to needs (3.85), content supporting entrepreneurial interest (3.78), content ease of understanding (3.62), and content applicability and contextuality (3.48). Satisfaction with teaching methods also indicates a high level (mean = 3.69), with interactive teaching (3.87), interesting case studies (3.73), discussions aiding understanding (3.65), and practical applications (3.50). External factors also show relatively high satisfaction (mean = 3.64), including classroom facilities (3.82), teaching aids quality (3.71), learning environment comfort (3.60), and availability of learning resources (3.41). The findings reveal that students from the Counselling and Guidance Study Program at the University of Jambi have high satisfaction with the course content and teaching methods. Despite high satisfaction, there are areas for improvement, such as enhancing the applicability of content and increasing the intensity of practical experience. External factors, such as classroom comfort and learning resources, should also be improved. To enhance learning quality, integrating more practical experiences and complex case studies, alongside digital technology and more applicable teaching materials, will enrich the learning experience. Further research in other programs and with a deeper approach will provide more comprehensive insights.
