Abstract

This study examines the challenges of implementing Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) in Indonesia within the rapidly evolving context of globalization. Using a qualitative literature review of 10 Scopus-indexed articles, the analysis identifies key obstacles that hinder effective and sustainable forest governance. The findings reveal that institutional weaknesses—such as fragmented policies, weak law enforcement, and limited coordination among governmental agencies—remain central barriers. Economic pressures driven by global market demands for timber and agricultural commodities intensify deforestation risks and complicate the alignment between development goals and conservation priorities. Social challenges, including limited community participation, land tenure conflicts, and uneven distribution of benefits, further constrain the success of SFM initiatives. Additionally, environmental degradation, climate change impacts, and insufficient adoption of advanced monitoring technologies continue to undermine forest protection efforts. Global sustainability frameworks and certification schemes, while beneficial, introduce complex requirements that local stakeholders often struggle to meet. This study concludes that addressing SFM challenges in Indonesia requires strengthening institutional capacity, enhancing community empowerment, aligning economic incentives with conservation goals, and integrating advanced technologies to support evidence-based policymaking.

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.
