Abstract

Background: Agricultural production stands as the third-largest sector in Indonesia, yet the presence of young farmers, crucial for sustainable agricultural practices and food security, lags behind ideal proportions. Despite comprising 52% of the population, young people's engagement in farming falls short at approximately 30%. Methods: This paper delves into the underlying reasons behind this crisis, utilizing secondary data analysis from BPS Indonesia and employing documentary analysis methodology. Findings: The study reveals that the declining participation of Indonesian youth in agriculture is driven by intertwined structural, economic, and sociocultural barriers, necessitating a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder strategy to ensure generational renewal and long-term food security. Conclusion: The paper provides suggestions for further research to address this pressing issue and pave the way for a rejuvenated generation of farmers essential for Indonesia's agricultural future. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research offers a novel perspective by not only identifying challenges but also providing recommendations to revitalize youth engagement in agriculture, ensuring the sector’s long-term sustainability.

Abstract

Background: The diversity and dominance of soil mesofauna are influenced by environmental factors such as soil temperature, pH, humidity, and texture. This study aims to analyze the soil mesofauna community, including species count, diversity, and dominance, and evaluate the environmental quality of rice fields in Pliken Village, Kembaran District, Banyumas Regency. Methods: The research was conducted using a survey method from January to June 2023. Soil samples were collected from three different locations (west, north, and south) with a one-month interval. Sampling was carried out twice a day, in the morning (06:0–008:00 Western Indonesia Time) and evening (18:00–20:00 Western Indonesia Time). Findings: A total of 820 individuals from 13 species, 11 families, and 9 orders of soil mesofauna were recorded. Solenopsis invicta (Red Ants) had the highest count (332 individuals), while Cimex sp. and Pulex sp. had the lowest (2 individuals each). The Shannon-Wiener diversity index ranged from 1.19 to 1.86, averaging 1.52, indicating moderate diversity. The Simpson dominance index ranged from 0.150 to 0.531, averaging 0.300, suggesting no species dominance. Environmental factors such as air temperature (22–28°C), soil temperature (23–28°C), and soil pH (6.1) were within optimal ranges for mesofauna life. However, humidity levels varied between 20–65%, with lower values in the dry season, potentially affecting mesofauna survival. Conclusion: The rice fields of Pliken Village support a moderately diverse soil mesofauna community with no dominant species. The environmental conditions are generally favorable, except for humidity fluctuations, which may impact mesofauna populations. Sustainable land management practices, such as reducing excessive pesticide use, are recommended to maintain soil fertility and biodiversity. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of soil mesofauna diversity and environmental quality in rice fields, offering valuable insights into the impact of agricultural practices on soil ecosystems. The findings highlight the need for sustainable land management to preserve soil biodiversity and fertility.

Abstract

Background: Banyumas Regency is one of the districts that has good potential in the agricultural sector. Banyumas Regency itself since 2011 has been developing the Agropolitan Area listed in the RTRW of Banyumas Regency. However, in reality this policy has not been able to work, both systemically and spatially. Therefore, this study tries to assess how the development of the Banyumas Regency Agropolitan Area will be in the future. Methods: By using two commodity bases namely rice and coconut to be developed, this study assesses which locations are suitable for farming areas, production centers, as well as markets and urban centers in the Agropolitan Area of Banyumas Regency. By analyzing the suitability of the village location, namely the suitability of land for farming areas and a composite index with a z score, it can be determined which areas are suitable for the development of the Banyumas Regency Agropolitan Area. By also looking at the characteristics and accessibility, it is also assessed how the connectivity between functional areas in the Agropolitan Area of Banyumas Regency is assessed. Findings: The findings indicate that the entire Agropolitan Area in Banyumas is suitable for rice and coconut cultivation, with 11 villages identified as optimal locations for production centers and four villages deemed highly suitable for market and urban areas. Conclusion: This study conclude that rice and coconut have good land suitability in the Agropolitan Area of Banyumas Regency, with six villages unsuitable for farming and four villages unsuitable for coconut cultivation. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research contributes novel insights into spatial planning and economic development by integrating commodity-based land suitability with accessibility analysis, providing a strategic framework for sustainable agricultural development in Banyumas Regency.

Abstract

Background: Pesticide residues in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cultivation pose serious health and environmental risks, exacerbated by the excessive use of synthetic pesticides to control fruit fly pests (Bactrocera dorsalis). This review aims to evaluate the push-pull technique an integrated pest management strategy using repellent plants like lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus) and attractant plants such as basil (Ocimum basilicum), supported by yellow sticky traps as a sustainable solution for fruit fly control. Methods: This systematic literature review was conducted by screening 1,300 articles from scientific databases within the last 10 years using PRISMA guidelines, from which 4 studies were ultimately selected for qualitative synthesis. Findings: Based on the analysis of secondary literature, the synthesis of results shows that lemongrass releases volatile compounds capable of suppressing fruit fly populations by up to 40-60%, while basil and yellow sticky traps effectively lure fruit flies away from the main crop and can reduce infestation rates by 35-55%. This combination effectively suppresses pests, reduces dependency on chemical pesticides, and supports food security by stabilizing production. Conclusion: It should be noted that these findings are derived from a narrative data synthesis of secondary literature, not primary field trials, and this review does not include a quantitative meta-analysis to statistically measure the combined effect. This study concludes that the wider adoption of the push-pull system, coupled with farmer training and technological integration, offers an eco-friendly and efficient alternative for horticultural pest management. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty/originality of this article lies in systematically reviewing the push-pull technique combining lemongrass, basil, and yellow sticky traps as an eco-friendly integrated strategy for controlling tomato fruit fly pests.

Abstract

Background: Contract farming has emerged as a strategic mechanism to bridge market access, reduce production risks, and empower smallholder farmers in agricultural economies. However, its effectiveness varies across institutional contexts, particularly in developing countries facing market failures and power imbalances. This study aims to systematically examine the integration of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) within contract farming mechanisms to enhance agro-economic performance and sustainability. Previous studies have primarily focused on private-led contract farming models, with limited exploration of public or hybrid institutional roles, especially those owned by local governments. Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, this study analyzes 19 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025. Thematic synthesis is applied to identify key patterns related to institutional involvement, economic impact, and sustainability dimensions. Findings: The findings reveal that the integration of (SOEs) into contract farming can improve farmers’ access to production inputs, ensure price stability, and support inclusive participation in the value chain, particularly when supported by clear regulatory frameworks and participatory governance. Moreover, models involving public institutions tend to align more closely with long-term sustainability goals such as environmental preservation and rural social equity. Conclusion: This study concludes that BUMD holds untapped potential in reshaping the governance of contract farming systems toward more equitable and sustainable outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this article lies in highlighting the strategic role of local public enterprises such as BUMD in agricultural contracting, an area that remains underexplored in existing literature.
