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.
