Abstract

Shifting cultivation systems are often considered unsustainable practices, yet many indigenous communities have developed this agricultural model ecologically and socially. In this context, it is important to review how local ecological knowledge plays a role in shaping sustainable agricultural systems and how the integration of sustainable agriculture concepts can strengthen these local practices. This study aims to explore the relationship between sustainable agricultural principles and local ecological practices in shifting cultivation, using an environmental anthropology approach. The main focus is to explore the meaning, values, and strategies of traditional agriculture as part of an adaptive social-ecological system. The research method used is qualitative ethnographic with participatory observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and case studies in shifting cultivation farming communities in the interior. The results of the study show that the shifting cultivation system contains the principles of diversification, land rotation, ecological control based on customary norms, and spiritual values towards nature. This system has indirectly created ecological and social sustainability without the intervention of modern technology. The conclusion of this study confirms that sustainability does not always have to be constructed through a technocratic approach, but can be built through recognition of local ecological practices.

Abstract

The increasing global demand for high-quality coffee requires more efficient and objective methods to evaluate bean quality. Traditional sensory and manual inspection techniques are time-consuming, subjective, and prone to inconsistency. This study aims to develop and validate an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based predictive model for assessing coffee bean quality using digital image processing and sensor data. The research employs a quantitative experimental approach by integrating convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for visual analysis and machine learning regression models to process multispectral sensor data related to moisture, color, and aroma parameters. A dataset of 5,000 labeled coffee bean samples from three regional plantations was used for training and validation. The results demonstrate that the hybrid AI model achieved an accuracy rate of 96.8% in predicting bean grades compared to expert cupping scores, outperforming traditional visual grading methods by 18%. Furthermore, the integration of digital imaging and IoT-based sensors significantly reduced evaluation time and human error. The findings highlight AI’s potential to revolutionize coffee quality control by enabling automated, consistent, and scalable assessment systems that support sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract

The Brantas River Watershed, a vital socio-economic region in East Java, Indonesia, faces escalating environmental pressures from unplanned urbanization and intensive agriculture. These challenges are exacerbated by climate change, leading to increased land degradation, soil erosion, and severe flood events, which threaten the watershed’s long-term sustainability and the livelihoods of millions. This study aimed to develop and validate a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Decision Support System (DSS) to aid policymakers in formulating integrated, evidence-based strategies for sustainable land use planning and climate change adaptation within this critical watershed. The DSS was constructed by integrating a multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) framework within a GIS environment. Key geospatial datasets (land cover, soil type, slope, rainfall projections) were weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The system models land suitability and vulnerability to environmental hazards under various climate change scenarios. The developed DSS successfully generated high-resolution maps identifying priority zones for conservation, reforestation, and sustainable development. The model revealed that 22% of the upper watershed area is at high risk of landslides under projected rainfall patterns. The optimized land use plan proposed by the DSS demonstrated a potential to reduce surface runoff by up to 35%, significantly mitigating flood risk. The GIS-based DSS is a powerful and effective tool for integrated watershed management. It provides a dynamic, scientifically-grounded platform for strategic planning, enabling policymakers to balance ecological protection with socio-economic needs and enhance the climate resilience of the Brantas River Watershed.

Abstract

Digital Farming Advisory Platforms (DFAPs) are posited to help Indonesian smallholders, but their real-world adoption and economic efficacy are unverified. A significant gap exists between the technology’s promise and its practical implementation. This study sought to: (1) empirically quantify DFAP adoption rates, (2) rigorously evaluate their economic impact on farm yield and net income, and (3) identify key drivers of adoption. A cross-sectional survey (N=1,240) was conducted in three Indonesian provinces. We employed logistic regression to identify adoption predictors and Propensity The adoption rate was low (25.0%), with a high rejection rate (33.5%). Digital literacy and education were the strongest predictors. The PSM analysis confirmed that adoption yields significant economic benefits, including a 14.2% increase in crop yield and higher net income (p < .01). The findings present a critical paradox: DFAPs are economically effective, but benefits are captured only by a digitally literate “farmer elite.” This “digital divide” mandates a policy shift from technology-centric investment to human-centric interventions focused on digital literacy.

Abstract

This study develops and tests a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) system for real-time monitoring of soil nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) levels in sugarcane plantations. Traditional soil testing methods are time-consuming and costly, and they fail to provide continuous data on nutrient fluctuations, which limits effective decision-making in fertilization management. The study aims to evaluate the reliability and applicability of the WSN system in both agricultural field operations and as an educational tool for technology-enhanced learning. The research followed a design-and-testing methodology, developing sensor nodes with NPK soil sensors, microcontrollers, and wireless communication modules integrated into a centralized monitoring platform. Field testing took place in a sugarcane plantation, with sensor data continuously transmitted to a cloud-based dashboard for analysis. Results show that the WSN system accurately monitored spatial and temporal variations in soil NPK levels, providing stable data transmission with measurement accuracy comparable to laboratory soil analysis. Real-time visualization of nutrient status facilitated quicker interpretation and more responsive fertilization strategies. The study concludes that WSN-based soil monitoring is a practical, scalable solution for improving nutrient management in sugarcane plantations and offers potential as an educational tool to integrate digital sensing technologies into agricultural and vocational education.
