Abstract

Despite growing interest in sustainable agriculture, the impact of organic fertilizer adoption on household welfare in Vietnamese rice production remained underexplored. This study addressed this knowledge gap by examining its effect on productivity, total output, revenue, assets, and food security (household food diversity index and food expenditure). The data originated from the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) conducted in 2020. After merging data from VHLSS, 2,059 observations in rice production were employed to unveil the relationship between variables. To mitigate selection bias, propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to assess the average treatment effect on the treated population. The results uncovered that households utilizing organic fertilizers exhibited a superior food diversity index and greater food expenditure but lower productivity and total assets than their counterparts. These findings underscored the necessity of enhancing organic fertilizer utilization in rice farming, facilitating food security in rice production in rural Vietnam. Accordingly, smallholders should be encouraged to utilize organic fertilizers, and the government should assist farmers by providing training and enhancing their expertise in applying organic fertilizers.

Abstract

Food insecurity, malnutrition, and hunger persist as unresolved issues in many countries in Central, South, Southeast, and East Asia. Importing food as well as focusing on food production can enhance food security in various countries within the area, which is linked to different income levels and other influencing factors. This research examined the effectiveness of agricultural indices, food imports, and seven food security indicators across 23 selected nations in Asia and Australia, categorized by income groups: lower middle, upper middle, and high income. A descriptive method was adopted to examine the non-parametric relationships between variables, elucidated using Biplot diagrams and ultimately displaying the analysis findings using PCA. The findings disclosed a clear link between agricultural indices (agricultural GDP and agricultural public finance) and food supply from imports concerning food security achievements in Asian and Australian countries. Lower-middle-income countries in Southeast, South, and Central Asia exhibited insufficient agricultural output to meet the food needs of their populations. Nevertheless, some of these countries imported a significant amount of food. However, malnutrition, food insecurity, and health problems caused by insufficient food supply and poor nutrition remained significant challenges. Conversely, countries with greater income levels (high and upper-middle) often provided their citizens with improved access to nutritious and high-quality food, fulfilling the energy demands essential for maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.

Abstract

Despite ongoing efforts to reduce hunger, inadequate food supply remains a perilous issue in developing countries. The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024 report highlights the rising incidence of severe food insecurity, particularly in developing countries, and the worsening conditions in nations already experiencing significant hardship. Accordingly, this study aims to assess the role of globalization in addressing food supply adequacy in developing nations. It focused on answering the research gap on whether globalization significantly affects food security. The research utilized data from 80 developing countries from 2012 to 2021. Employing panel-corrected standard error (PCSE) estimation with 800 observations, the analysis revealed that globalization exerted a positive and statistically significant impact on food supply adequacy. A gain of one point in the globalization index enhanced food supply adequacy, all else being equal. Social globalization, political globalization, economically active age group population, and access to finance and financial products for farmers favorably influenced food supply adequacy; however, the World Risk Index (WRI) imposed an adverse impact. Additionally, economic globalization exhibited a detrimental and substantial effect, whereas agricultural total factor productivity demonstrated a positive association lacking statistical significance. These discoveries suggested that globalization enhanced food supply adequacy, emphasizing the necessity for governments in developing countries to adopt policies fostering economic integration and invest in resilient food systems to ensure an adequate food supply.

Abstract

Food security is critical as consumption and population are growing rapidly. This study aims to predict population growth, rice consumption and rice demand in the province of North Maluku until 2028 used the ARIMA (2,2,0). Secondary data from BPS-Statistics Indonesia were used, covering population, consumption and rice demand from 2013 to 2023. The results indicated that the annual population growth in North Maluku ranges from 21,000 to 24,000. Simultaneously, the annual rice consumption is projected to increase by approximately two to three kilograms per capita. The predictive data revealed that rice demand was projected to increase from 71.37 million kg in 2024 to approximately 79.09 million kg by 2028, primarily stemmed by ongoing population growth and evolving consumption. These results signaled severe challenges in ensuring an adequate food supply, particularly in a region where rice serves as the primary staple food. These findings underlined the urgent need for data-driven policies, capable distribution networks, and crop diversification to guarantee sustainable food security. Moreover, this research has provided a roadmap for more efficient policy decision-making, highlighting the need for the utilization of modern technology in domestic food cultivation and distribution.

Abstract

Integrated farming systems represent innovative solutions designed to improve farmers’ well-being by increasing income and improving livelihoods in rural communities. By integrating social innovation strategies, this approach helps to promote economic welfare and address challenges such as poverty and limited access to resources. This study delves into the impact of integrated farming, a form of social innovation, on the well-being of rural communities in the Global South. The study centers on Mas Ihsan Bersaudara Farm in Karawang, Indonesia, serving as a compelling case study. An in-depth exploration was conducted within the farm community by including all employees as participants, thereby facilitating comprehensive insights. While integrated farming exhibited characteristics associated with social innovation and enhanced productivity, this study’s findings revealed that its influence on well-being lacked statistical significance. Structural equation modeling (SEM) shed light on the intricate relationships between variables. The findings uncovered that production behavior and management exerted a more substantial impact on productivity than factors directly tied to social innovation. Specifically, productivity accounted for 13.5% of overall well-being, emphasizing that heightened productivity alone did not unilaterally elevate farmers’ well-being. This study has underscored the need for a holistic approach, one transcending mere productivity gains. Key elements included market accessibility, equitable pricing mechanisms, educational interventions, and robust social support systems. By addressing the multifaceted aspects of community life through a combination of direct field surveys that captured farmers’ firsthand perspectives and advanced statistical analysis using SEM, this study contributes to sustainable rural development.

Abstract

Indonesia’s beef market has long exhibited structural volatility, which became more pronounced during major disruptions such as COVID-19. Analyzing these fluctuations across different periods is crucial for strengthening market resilience. This paper examines beef price volatility in Indonesia across three critical periods, before the pandemic (2017–2019), during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 – June 2023), and after the pandemic (June 2023 onward), and identifies the key factors influencing it. Daily price data for beef, chicken meat, and eggs were obtained from the Indonesian Strategic Food Price Information Center (PIHPS) for 2017–2024 and analyzed using the GARCH (1,1) model and logarithmic regression with crisis dummy variables. The results show that beef price volatility increased significantly during the pandemic and remained high in the new normal period, confirming the long-term persistence of price shocks. Significant influencing factors include the COVID-19 pandemic, seasonal events (Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr), the price and volatility of chicken meat, and lagged beef imports from previous periods. The methodological contribution of this study lies in the use of daily data and a time-lag structure that captures short-term dynamics more accurately. These results underscore the need for structural reform, daily price monitoring systems, and adaptive market intervention to strengthen Indonesia’s food security and market resilience.

Abstract

Farmer regeneration in Indonesia is faced with severe challenges, and it is predicted that this may lead to a decrease in the national food production ability. Therefore, strategic effort is required to facilitate the regeneration process. In this study, we aimed to analyze the dynamics of farmer regeneration in sub-urban villages and the determinants of the farming performance of a young farmer. The research method employed a mixed approach between qualitative and quantitative perspectives. In the quantitative method, we purposively selected 51 young farmers as samples for interview. The qualitative approach was used to explain the dynamics of regeneration behavior, whereas the quantitative approach based on Spearman correlation was used to analyze a few critical variables, which exhibited a strong correlation with a young farmer farming performance. The research results revealed a dynamic behavior of a farmer child, determining their entry into or exit from agriculture, and that farming income was the main determinant of decision-making in entering the agriculture sector. The analysis further revealed that a young farmer farming performance correlated significantly with their agricultural entrepreneurship orientation, which covers the feeling of confidence, patience, and perseverance in farming. Further, their farming performance was also correlated significantly with access to external finance  and agricultural education in the family. These results provide valuable insights regarding the importance of the empowerment strategy, particularly at farmer household level, in encouraging effective farmer regeneration.

Abstract

Chicken meat is an important food commodity, and growing consumer attention to food safety, nutrition, and product quality has increased interest in native chicken markets in Thailand. The study also provided information on the purchasing behavior of native chicken consumers. A multi-stage sampling method was employed to determine the 400 native chicken consumers. The primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and a binary logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the factors that affect consumers' decisions to purchase native chickens. The findings revealed that consumers preferred to buy whole-dressed native chicken 4 to 5 times a month, spending less than 272.46 USD. The binary logistic regression results showed that motivation, perception, price, and place significantly influenced consumers' decisions to purchase native chickens. Farmers and marketers should emphasize creating incentives and raising awareness among consumers about the quality, taste, and nutritional value of native chicken to encourage more purchases. These findings offer practical insights into native chicken consumer behavior and decision-making, with implications for expanding local and global native chicken markets.

Abstract

The native Pasundan cattle breed from West Java, Indonesia, delivers essential economic and ecological benefits to the local rural communities due to their exceptional adaptability and resilience. Unfortunately, the full potential of Pasundan cattle remains untapped owing to restricted access to breeding technology, insufficient institutional support, and minimal community participation. This study investigated the key drivers of community roles and community empowerment levels in Pasundan cattle breeding in West Java, Indonesia. Using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) on data collected from 191 farmers in Sukabumi and Ciamis, this research examined six variables: Pasundan cattle characteristics, farmer characteristics, breeding technology, supporting institutions, community dynamics, and community roles. The findings revealed that breeding technology, farmer characteristics, and community dynamics considerably influenced community roles, while Pasundan cattle characteristics, breeding technology, and community dynamics directly impacted community empowerment levels. Community roles significantly influenced community empowerment levels. Furthermore, community roles served as a solid mediating variable, linking key factors such as farmer characteristics and breeding technology to community empowerment levels. Despite the lack of direct relevance of supporting institutions, its alignment with grassroots efforts remained essential. This study stands apart from earlier research by combining socio-economic, institutional, and technological perspectives to establish a specialized framework designed for Pasundan cattle farming needs.
