Abstract

Farmer empowerment is crucial for agricultural development, yet its effectiveness often depends on how well strategies align with farmers' needs. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the farmer empowerment strategies according to the farmer assessment. The research employs a qualitative multi-case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with farmer group chairmen and members. The study reveals varying levels of effectiveness across seven government-implemented empowerment strategies. These three strategies comprised developing agricultural product marketing systems, consolidating agricultural land, and providing access to science and technology were unfamiliar to participants. The organic fertilizer training strategy was deemed effective in improving competence and profits. Extension services were considered effective in enhancing competence, profits, and productivity. However, institutional strengthening strategies were seen as ineffective in developing farmer groups into cooperatives. Financing facilities through People's Business Credit (PBC).

Abstract

Numerous studies have been conducted on organic farming motives, however, less focus has been directed to warm-glow motives—the novelty of this study. This study aims to elaborate on the impact of the warm glow in addition to economic, environmental, and health motives on farmers’ satisfaction in practicing organic farming. This study was conducted in Sleman Regency of Yogyakarta Province as well as Magelang and Semarang Regencies of Central Java Province, Indonesia. By using a structured questionnaire, 259 certified organic farmers were interviewed. A 5-point Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree was employed. A structural equation model (SEM) was utilized to analyze the relationship between the four motives and their influences on farmers’ satisfaction in practicing organic farming. The results revealed that warm-glow motives demonstrated a significant positive effect on the satisfaction of farmers in practicing organic farming concurrently with economic, health, and environmental motives. The significant effect of warm-glow motives has provided a new perspective in understanding their role in organic farming. The study discovered that warm-glow motives corresponded to the noble values of local society and were suitable for developing the organic farming system. The study also disclosed that by encouraging warm-glow motives, farmers could enhance their satisfaction by achieving their goals in economic, health, and environmental aspects. In other words, improving farmers’ satisfaction in organic farming by reinforcing their warm-glow motives was crucial.

Abstract

Sustainable development on a regional scale can be accelerated if organic farming management methods are adopted in Indonesia. This research utilized the Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture (SAFA) framework due to its comprehensive coverage of sustainability and accessibility for producers and decision-makers. This study compared the sustainability of certified and non-certified organic as well as non-organic farms in Sleman Regency across four dimensions: good governance, environmental integrity, economic resilience, and social welfare, focusing on how different farming practices impact sustainability indicators. A total of 9 farmer groups participated in this study, categorized based on their farming practices and certification. The results unveiled that certified organic rice farming achieved the highest sustainability score. Specifically, certified organic farmer groups excelled in the economic sub-themes of product quality and information (82%) and local economy (90%), as well as the social sub-themes of labor rights (86%) and equality (80%). Meanwhile, non-certified organic farming performed highly in the local economy sub-theme (82%). In contrast, non-organic farming scored the highest in the sub-themes of investment economy (80%) and fair-trade practices (81%) but demonstrated low scores in holistic management (40%) and impact on the atmosphere (36%). Hence, certified organic rice farming outperformed non-certified organic and non-organic practices regarding sustainability. Key factors affecting farm sustainability included organic fertilizers, sustainable water management, local economic improvement, equity, labor conditions, biodiversity preservation, and product quality and information. These findings highlight the significance of adopting certified organic farming to achieve higher sustainability in agriculture.

Abstract

Greenhouse technology presents a promising solution to the challenges of agricultural productivity and sustainability, particularly for small-scale farmers facing climate change, resource constraints, and unpredictable weather conditions. This study was the first attempt to investigate the impact of greenhouse adoption on farmers’ welfare which focused on household income per capita and food security status. The samples of this study were conducted 201 melon farmers in East Java, Indonesia. This study analyzed data to discern the effects of greenhouse adoption on farmers’ welfare by employing endogenous switching regression to address potential endogeneity issues. The analysis revealed that greenhouse adoption significantly and positively affected household income per capita and food security status. Through rigorous data analysis, this research had contributed valuable insights into the socio-economic implications of adopting greenhouses in agricultural practices. The results highlighted the role of greenhouses in boosting farmers’ resilience, improving livelihoods, and enhancing food security, providing a strong case for promoting greenhouse technology in rural agricultural practices.

Abstract

Despite the potential to grow and earn more profit through export, the seaweed sector is dealing with several difficulties, including challenges in the production faced by smallholder farmers. Farmers have managed their seaweed farming by implementing several risk management practices. This study examined the effect of farmers’ risk management practices on seaweed production and the determinants of seaweed production risk management practices. This study utilized data from a survey of 100 farmers in Takalar Regency, a key seaweed production area in Indonesia, along with insights from a focus group discussion (FGD) with seaweed experts. A Cobb-Douglas production function and logistic regression were employed. The findings unveiled that seaweed farmers’ risk management practices had positively boosted their seaweed production. The findings also highlighted that such factors as education level, farming experience, farm size, and weather risk influenced the farmers’ practices of dealing with the production risk. Understanding the effect of risk management practices on farm production and the determinants of production risk management practices could assist policymakers in designing effective policies and farmers in being more innovative in their coping strategies to mitigate production risk, leading to improved productivity and income. The prioritized risk management practices for seaweed production focused on diversifying planting locations and harvesting under hot temperatures to mitigate production risks. In contrast, practices such as changing seeds, relocating, and adjusting cultivation methods were also crucial but less widely applied.

Abstract

The global community recognizes social forestry as a way to improve community welfare through sustainable forest programs. In Indonesia, this program aims to involve local communities in forest management, providing multiple benefits such as forest preservation, improved livelihoods, and poverty reduction. This study aims to analyze the sustainability of a social forestry program for both Community Forest (CF) and non-Community Forest (non-CF) schemes (Village Forests and Community Plantation Forests). The research was conducted in Sijunjung, Solok, Padang Pariaman Regencies, and Padang City, involving a sample of 33 CF participants and 65 non-CF participants selected through snowball sampling. The data were collected through direct interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) at provincial and regency levels. The business sustainability assessment utilized multidimensional indicators (MDS) across three dimensions: economic, social, and institutional and analyzed using Rap_MForest. The findings revealed that social forestry program had a moderate level of sustainability in all dimensions; however, the social dimension showed lower sustainability, owing to limited community participation and ineffective empowerment of non-group members. The sustainability index of CF scheme was higher than the non-CF (VF and CPF). The CF model emerged as the more adaptable and comprehensive approach, promoting both environmental conservation and socioeconomic development. Therefore, prioritizing the institutional strengthening of VF and CPF became crucial. In addition, enhancing the active role and involvement of group members in the social forestry program within the social dimension was also essential. To enhance sustainability, efforts should be focused on strengthening mentoring and counseling programs for social forestry groups involved in state forest and community plantation initiatives.

Abstract

Wool production has great potential to alleviate food insecurity and poverty in South Africa, but declining national output poses significant challenges. The lack of comprehensive studies on macro-environmental factors and efficiency in smallholder wool farming hinders effective policymaking and resource allocation to improve sustainability. This study conducted a PESTEL analysis and introduced a model to improve the efficiency of smallholder wool farming and rural livelihoods through the evaluation of the industrial macro environment. The PESTEL analysis assisted farmers in identifying future macroeconomic variables to ensure the proper development and sustainability of their wool farming. The analysis uncovered a negative correlation between the efficiency of wool farming and the lack of access to information, markets and credit, feed costs, inadequate extension services, and farmers’ lack of knowledge. Consequently, this study advocated for the training of smallholder wool farmers to improve their wool quality, extension services, and access to information, markets, and credit. This research further proposed minimum operational and transaction costs to enhance the overall efficiency of smallholder wool production in Thaba ‘Nchu and Botshabelo.
