Abstract

This study aims to analyze what factors are most dominant in influencing the absorption of labor in the agricultural sector in West Nusa Tenggara province. The variables studied include inflation, gross regional domestic product, and provincial minimum wage. The research method used is multiple linear regression analysis with data collected through library methods and documentation techniques. The results show that inflation has a positive but insignificant effect, gross regional domestic product has a negative and insignificant effect, while the provincial minimum wage has a positive and significant effect on labor absorption in the agricultural sector in West Nusa Tenggara province. The value of the determination coefficient (R²) of 0.393 shows that 39.3% of the variability of labor absorption can be explained by the three independent variables. The study concludes that the increase in inflation and the provincial minimum wage can increase labor absorption, while the increase in gross regional domestic product tends to reduce labor absorption in the agricultural sector in West Nusa Tenggara Province.

Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable food production has led to a growing interest in the utilization of agricultural wastes as alternative raw materials in the fermentation industry. This systematic literature review examines the potential of agricultural by-products, such as fruit peels, vegetable scraps, and cereal residues, as substrates for fermented food production. By analyzing a wide range of studies, this review identifies the types of agricultural wastes successfully used, the fermentation processes involved, and the benefits derived from these practices, including waste reduction, cost savings, and nutritional enhancement. The review also highlights the challenges associated with the variability in waste composition, logistical constraints, and consumer acceptance. The findings suggest that the utilization of agricultural wastes in fermented food production not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also offers economic and nutritional benefits. However, further research is needed to optimize fermentation processes, assess economic feasibility, and enhance consumer acceptance. This review provides valuable insights for researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers interested in promoting sustainable food production practices.

Abstract

This study provides a comparative analysis of the productivity of organic and conventional maize farming in East Java, employing a quantitative approach with 40 sample farms. Utilizing a Likert scale from 1 to 5, data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The findings indicate that while conventional farming demonstrates higher average yields, the difference in productivity between the two systems is statistically significant but not substantial. Organic farming shows competitive productivity, particularly in the long term, due to its positive impact on soil health and sustainability. The study highlights the potential of organic farming as a viable alternative to conventional practices in maize cultivation, offering valuable insights for policymakers and farmers in East Java.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the effects of Bokashi organic fertilizer dosage on rice plants' agronomic growth and productivity (Oryza sativa). Using 16 Scopus-indexed articles, the study synthesizes findings on how Bokashi impacts key agronomic parameters such as plant height, tiller number, biomass production, and grain yield. The review highlights that optimal dosages (5–10 tons/ha) consistently improve growth and yield outcomes compared to chemical fertilizers or untreated controls. Bokashi's nutrient-rich composition and ability to enhance soil health and microbial activity make it a sustainable alternative for rice cultivation. However, its effectiveness depends on soil type, environmental conditions, and rice variety. Challenges related to dosage standardization and large-scale implementation are identified, and recommendations for future research are provided. This review underscores the potential of Bokashi in promoting sustainable agriculture while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs.
