Abstract

Poverty is a crucial issue to address in sustainable development, particularly in rural areas. Despite the government’s attempts to intervene through social assistance programs for people experiencing poverty, poverty remains unabated. This study investigated rural poverty in Indonesia using three major analytical frameworks: the World Bank’s poverty line, the BPS-Statistics Indonesia poverty line, and Indonesia’s Law on Poverty Alleviation. Employing a quantitative approach with 289 respondents across three villages in West Java, the study integrated income-based and access-based indicators to construct six categories of poverty: (1) extreme poverty, (2) vulnerable to extreme poverty, (3) non-monetary poverty, (4) regional poverty, (5) vulnerable to regional poverty, and (6) non-poor. The findings revealed that 35.99% of social assistance distribution was misallocated, with 12.46% of poor people excluded and 23.53% of non-poor beneficiaries incorrectly included. By introducing a refined, empirically grounded classification system, this research enhanced multidimensional poverty measurement and advocated for systemic reforms in data collection to improve the accuracy and targeting of rural social assistance programs.

Abstract

Agricultural livelihoods in Vietnam’s Northern Mountain Region are shaped by ethnic diversity, gendered labor dynamics, and growing exposure to climate change. This study seeks to examine social disparities, particularly those related to gender and ethnicity, in farmers’ adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies and Practices (CSA T&Ps) to enhance climate change resilience in the Northern Mountain Region of Vietnam. Socioeconomic factors, the climate-related knowledge, perception, and attitude of local farmers influencing the adoption of CSA T&Ps were tested using dichotomous logistic regression. The results revealed significant ethnic disparities affecting access to climate-smart agriculture (CSA) training and resources in Vietnam’s Northern Mountain Region. While gender inequalities in CSA adoption were minimal, ethnic minority farmers encountered substantial barriers compared to majority groups, impacting their climate adaptation capacity. Key determinants of CSA adoption included participation in training, access to climate and agricultural extension services, and local perceptions of the impacts of climate change. These findings highlight the need for socially inclusive policies addressing ethnic and social disparities to enhance CSA scaling and build climate resilience in marginalized farming communities.

Abstract

Sandy coastal farming has become a crucial livelihood strategy in Indonesia's marginal coastal areas, yet technology adoption remains uneven across farmer households. This study examines how the economic behavior of farmer households influences the intensity of sandy coastal farming technology adoption and analyzes how changes in internal and external factors impact adoption, production, labor allocation, income, and expenditure. Using primary cross-sectional data from 196 farmer households in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, the study applies an integrated household economic model estimated as a system of simultaneous equations using the Two-Stage Least Squares method. Technology adoption is represented through the allocation of cultivated land and the use of soil-improving inputs, allowing for the examination of adoption intensity within a unified household decision framework. The results show that adoption intensity is primarily driven by household income and family labor availability, with cultivated area acting as a key transmission channel linking income to input use and production outcomes. Higher returns from sandy coastal farming induce substitution toward hired labor rather than proportional increases in family labor. Simulation results indicate that output price incentives strengthen adoption through income and scale effects, while reductions in irrigated land weaken adoption by tightening household resource constraints. These findings underscore the significance of income stability and access to resources in maintaining high adoption intensity in marginal land systems.

Abstract

The rural population in Indonesia, heavily reliant on agriculture and fishery, constitutes approximately 60% of the nation's population. Seaweed cultivation has emerged as a significant economic activity among coastal communities, particularly in Seriwe Village, West Nusa Tenggara Province. Despite its significance, studies detailing financial viability and profitability in rural-level seaweed farming remain scarce, limiting effective management and targeted policy interventions. This study assessed the profitability and business feasibility of seaweed cultivation and identified factors influencing the income of seaweed farmers in the village. Utilizing multiple regression analysis, we standardized variable data and evaluated factors such as gender, experience, age, education, cultivation area, seed price, selling price, labor, and capital investment. Data collection involved interviews with 50 seaweed farmers and five middlemen, focusing on sociodemographic profiles, variable and fixed costs, and revenue. The Revenue Cost Ratio of 1.84 confirms the economic viability of seaweed farming, demonstrating substantial profitability in Seriwe Village. The multiple regression analysis results, with an adjusted R-squared value of 0.985, indicated that the cultivation area, capital investment, and selling price significantly influence farmers' income (p < 0.001). Gender and age also played a significant role (p < 0.05). Practical strategies to increase seaweed farmers’ income include forming farmers' groups and cleaning the harvested seaweed. Understanding these factors is crucial for implementing effective interventions and policies to support seaweed farmers. This study highlights the importance of targeted support, such as training programs, to empower farmers and enhance the economic resilience of coastal communities.

Abstract

Coastal land management are expected not only serves as an erosion control (wind), but also serves to increase farmer’s incomes. This study aims to analyze the income and the potential production of conservation farming system on coastal land in Bantul. The survey was conducted in the village of Srigading and Gadingsari Bantul. Income and potential production of four main commodities, namely red onions, red peppers, eggplant, and sweet potatoes were analyzed using Technical Efficiency Effect Model. Results of the study showed that from 0.1 hectares of coastal land, the farmers obtain the highest revenue of red pepper, which amounted to Rp 3.9 million in the dry season 1 and Rp 2.5 in the dry season 2; followed by red onions income, amounted to Rp 2.1 million in the rainy season and Rp1.6 in the dry season; while eggplant provide the lowest income, which amounted to Rp 98 thousand in the rainy season. The estimation results of Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier Model with MLE method showed an increase in the potential of onion in the rainy season by 7.4%; eggplant 11.4% and 10.2% sweet potato. In the dry season 1, there is an increase in onion production by 10.6%; red chili 4% and 5.6% sweet potato. While in the dry season 2, there is an increased production of red onion and eggplant by 4.1% at 6.1%.

Abstract

Rising incomes and urbanization have increased consumer demand for safer food. In Malaysia, concerns over pesticide use and international produce recalls have further emphasised the importance of enhancing food safety attributes to meet changing consumer preferences. Therefore, this study attempts to determine consumers’ willingness to pay for safety attributes of carrots. The survey was conducted in the Klang Valley, with 490 respondents successfully responding to the questionnaires. The study employed the discrete choice experiment (DCE), and the findings revealed that consumers were willing to pay more for carrots food safety attributes. The study also found that other factors that can influence the willingness to pay for safety attributes of carrots include income, education level and age. These findings underscore the importance of complying with safety standards for fresh produce since consumers are willing to pay more for safety attributes of carrot.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of the digital economy presents both opportunities and challenges for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in the agribusiness sector. The study examined the extent of the readiness of agribusiness MSMEs to face the digital economy and investigated the effect of driving and barrier factors on the digital economy readiness of agribusiness MSMEs. A quantitative approach was employed, with data from 124 MSMEs analyzed using descriptive statistics and PLS-SEM. The findings indicated that the highest readiness score was observed in digital literacy and skills, representing the people indicator. However, financial constraints and inadequate digital infrastructure remained significant barriers. Furthermore, consumer pressure and top management support were identified as critical drivers of digital readiness. The study enriches the existing literature on digital readiness in the agribusiness MSME sector by providing empirical insights from West Sulawesi, an underdeveloped province often overlooked in academic discourse. To support the digital transformation of agribusiness MSMEs, policies should prioritize practical capacity-building, expand access to reliable digital infrastructure, and ensure that inclusive financial services reach even the most remote business actors.

Abstract

Despite the growing implementation of CSR programs in agricultural communities, empirical evidence on how farmers perceive and accept these interventions remains limited, particularly in developing countries. Understanding the determinants of farmer acceptance is essential for improving CSR program effectiveness and sustainability. This study aims to measure the level of farmer acceptance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs and to determine the key factors that influence it. The SERVQUAL model was used to analyze farmers' expectations and acceptance levels across five dimensions: reliability, tangibility, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied after confirming normality, linearity, and multicollinearity assumptions to examine the relationships among farmers' acceptance and the independent variables, including expectation, income, age, education, land size, experience, household size, and organization. This study was conducted in Kutai Timur Regency, Kalimantan Timur Province, through a survey of 114 farming households receiving CSR assistance, selected using a multistage sampling technique. Research results indicate that farmer acceptance of CSR programs is relatively low. The study found that expectations and income were significant positive drivers of farmer acceptance, while social interaction and training had a significant negative effect. It is recommended that CSR program managers prioritize initiatives that demonstrably increase farmers' income and focus on long-term, sustainable benefits, particularly in the oil palm and animal husbandry sectors, to enhance program acceptability and effectiveness. This study introduces a novel SERVQUAL‑based framework to assess farmers’ acceptance of agricultural CSR programs and generate practical insights for program design and implementation.

Abstract

Food security for small-scale producers is intrinsically linked to the sustainability of family farming. In spite of its importance to Brazilian agribusiness, the sector of household agriculture remains vulnerable due to the lack of technical resources and infrastructure. This study evaluated the impact of the Village Program Brazil on crop productivity and blue water footprint among small-scale family farms in Barreiras and Balsas between 2019 and 2023. Using a longitudinal methodological framework, including initial farm assessments and selection of participants, support network establishment, risk-management data collection, and a decoupling analysis based on the Tapio and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) methods, the study monitored the implementation of 40 cisterns, 60 irrigation kits, and specialized training in pest and soil management. Results indicated that these interventions significantly enhanced food security in the studied areas: crop productivity in Barreiras rose from 745 to 9,181 kg/ha, while the blue water footprint dropped from 22.7 to 2.0 L/kg, being denoted strong decoupling of blue water footprint from crop production by the Tapio index, and linked to even contribution of program expansion and technological improvements over the program’s timespan by the LMDI index. Our findings further suggest that moving towards sustainable intensification of family farming is dependent on a "triad" of support: water distribution infrastructure, continuous technical guidance on management practices, and professional market integration. Taken together, the outcomes of Village Program Brazil provide a scalable model for public policies aimed at rural development.

Abstract

The current understanding of food security significantly impacts agricultural policy, especially regarding the availability of food to meet local and national needs. The Banggai yam is a local carbohydrate crop in Banggai Islands Regency that plays a vital role in food diversification and security. Thanks to its high carbohydrate content, this tuber has great potential as a food reserve and an alternative to rice to support food sovereignty in Banggai Islands Regency. To cope with the increasing demand, a comprehensive development plan is needed. This research aims to develop a model of Banggai yam production and needs as a fulfilment of food availability in the Banggai Islands Regency. This research uses a dynamic system approach. The dynamic system can describe the relationship between various variables in its development. The results of the study indicate that the current level of Banggai yam production is insufficient to meet overall demand. Currently, there is a production deficit of 1,703.54 tons for Banggai yam in 2018, which is projected to decrease to 1,514.9 tons by 2042. Simulation results indicate that with a 1.2 percent increase in the planting index, a 1 percent expansion of new land, and a 4 percent increase in exports in Scenario 1, which is overall moderate, a surplus of 3.3 tons will be achieved, with production reaching 11,846.8 tons and demand at 11,843.5 tons. This scenario will meet the total demand for Banggai yam until 2042. Successful implementation depends on the involvement of various stakeholders, including the government, farmers, and businesses involved in Banggai sweet potato production, making this commodity a flagship food product in Banggai Islands Regency.
