Abstract

This article reviews the literature related to the application of agricultural technology in rural Papua and West Papua using a rural sociology perspective. This study has three main objectives: (1) to examine various national and international literature on agricultural technology in rural Papua, (2) to highlight the social, cultural, and structural factors that influence technology adoption among farmers, and (3) to compare local research findings with international studies to formulate a technology implementation model that is more relevant to local conditions. The analysis shows that technologies such as superior seeds, biotechnology-based fertilizers, simple mechanization, and the digitization of agricultural information can increase productivity by up to 30%. However, these benefits are not evenly distributed due to obstacles such as limited infrastructure, low digital literacy, and dependence on external inputs. Compared with countries such as Vietnam, China, and Kenya, which have recorded 40–45% increases through the use of precision technology and pro-farmer policy support, Papua still lags behind. Social factors such as the leadership of traditional leaders, cultural factors such as local wisdom and resistance to modernisation, and structural factors such as access to extension services and financing are key to successful adoption. Therefore, agricultural development in Papua requires a combination of technological innovation with local knowledge, strengthening social networks, and inclusive, participatory, and sustainable policies.

Abstract

The era of digital transformation has created significant opportunities and challenges for agribusiness micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in strengthening their competitive advantage through innovation and collaboration. This study aims to analyze the impact of supply chain innovation and market collaboration on the competitive advantage of agribusiness MSMEs using a quantitative approach. Primary data were collected from 155 respondents through a structured questionnaire measured using a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, including validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that supply chain innovation has a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage, while market collaboration also shows a significant positive influence. Simultaneously, both variables contribute significantly to competitive advantage with an R² value of 0.610, indicating that 61.0% of the variance in competitive advantage is explained by the model. These findings highlight the importance of integrating innovative supply chain practices and strengthening collaborative networks to enhance business performance in the digital era. The study provides practical implications for policymakers and agribusiness practitioners in designing strategies that promote digital adoption, partnership development, and sustainable competitiveness.

Abstract

This study explores global trends in Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) research from 2010 to 2024, providing a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of publication growth, thematic evolution, and collaboration networks. The analysis reveals a significant shift in CSA research, with a growing focus on mitigation, technological innovations, and sustainable agricultural practices. Key themes such as soil carbon management, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate-resilient crops have emerged as central research areas, reflecting the growing need for climate adaptation and emission reduction strategies. The research highlights the leading roles of countries like India, China, and African nations such as Kenya, Ethiopia, and Malawi, in shaping CSA solutions. The study also emphasizes the increasing importance of international collaborations, which facilitate knowledge-sharing and the development of context-specific CSA practices. However, gaps in research remain, particularly in the areas of socioeconomic factors, policy frameworks, and scaling mechanisms for CSA adoption. Addressing these gaps is critical for ensuring the broader implementation and effectiveness of CSA strategies in the face of climate challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to map the development of agroforestry research in tropical countries during the period 2010–2024 using a bibliometric approach. Agroforestry has increasingly been recognized as a multifunctional land-use system capable of integrating climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and rural livelihood improvement. However, the rapid growth of publications has made it difficult to comprehensively understand research trends, collaboration structures, and thematic evolution within this field. To address this gap, this study analyzes publications indexed in the Scopus database and employs VOSviewer to visualize co-authorship networks, institutional collaborations, country partnerships, keyword co-occurrence patterns, overlay visualization, and density mapping.  The results indicate a significant increase in research output over the last decade, with strong international collaboration networks linking developed countries and tropical regions. The United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and India emerge as central contributors, while tropical countries such as Indonesia, Brazil, Kenya, and Ethiopia are increasingly active in global research partnerships. Thematic analysis reveals that agroforestry research is strongly centered on climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem services, and food security. Overlay visualization shows a temporal shift from earlier conservation-focused studies toward more integrated themes related to carbon sequestration, climate resilience, and smallholder livelihoods.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on organic farming published between 2005 and 2024. Using data retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed through VOSviewer, the study maps publication trends, international collaboration networks, institutional linkages, and thematic structures within the field. The results indicate a significant increase in research output over the past two decades, reflecting the growing importance of organic farming within global sustainability discourse. Collaboration analysis reveals that research leadership remains concentrated in North America and Europe, particularly in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy, although developing countries are increasingly integrated into international research networks. Keyword co-occurrence and overlay visualizations show that organic farming research is strongly anchored in themes such as biodiversity, ecosystem services, climate change, carbon sequestration, and food security. Over time, the research focus has shifted from conservation and land-use concerns toward climate resilience, greenhouse gas mitigation, and smallholder livelihoods. Despite this progress, gaps remain in areas related to policy innovation, market governance, digital transformation, and economic scalability. Overall, the findings demonstrate that organic farming research has matured into an interdisciplinary and globally interconnected field that plays a strategic role in advancing sustainable agricultural systems.
