Abstract

The implementation of greenhouse technology as an adaptation solution to climate change in subtropical regions is becoming increasingly important given the increasingly felt impacts of climate change. This article explores the concepts, benefits, and challenges of implementing greenhouse technology as an adaptation measure in subtropical areas. Through a comprehensive literature review, we present an analysis of the effectiveness of greenhouse technology in reducing the impacts of climate change, increasing water availability, and enhancing crop productivity. We also discuss the social, economic, and environmental implications of implementing this technology in subtropical regions. The findings from this research provide valuable insights for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers in understanding the potential of greenhouse technology as a sustainable adaptation solution in subtropical areas

Abstract

Increasing crop productivity is a top priority in supporting global food security amid increasingly complex environmental challenges. Sustainable agricultural technology emerges as a promising approach to enhance agricultural yields without harming the environment. This study aims to explore the application of sustainable agricultural technology in enhancing crop productivity. Through a comprehensive literature review, we identify various sustainable agricultural technologies that can be implemented, such as the use of organic fertilizers, water-efficient irrigation, environmentally friendly pest management, and soil conservation practices. We evaluate the positive impact of each of these technologies on major crop productivity such as wheat, rice, corn, and soybeans. The results of the analysis indicate that the implementation of sustainable agricultural technology effectively enhances crop yields by maintaining ecological balance and reducing negative environmental impacts. The practical implications of this research are that the integration of sustainable agricultural technology into agricultural practices can be an effective solution for improving crop productivity sustainably, while supporting environmental and social sustainability in the long term

Abstract

Climate change has become a major focus in the agricultural context, especially in tropical regions where its impacts are felt more strongly. This study aims to investigate the impact of climate change on cropping patterns and farmer adaptation strategies in tropical regions, using a case study approach. The research method involves field surveys, interviews, and secondary data analysis to understand how climate change affects crop preferences, agricultural productivity, and farmer adaptation actions. The results show significant changes in cropping patterns and agricultural productivity in response to climate change, as well as various adaptation strategies implemented by farmers to address these challenges

Abstract

The potential of soil microbes as biofertilizer agents to enhance soil fertility and crop productivity has garnered increasing attention in recent years. This study investigates the role of various soil microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes, in promoting plant growth and improving soil health. By examining the mechanisms through which these microbes contribute to nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation, and phytohormone production, we aim to understand their impact on crop yields and soil properties. Field trials conducted in diverse agricultural settings demonstrate that the application of microbial biofertilizers can lead to significant improvements in crop productivity and soil fertility. The findings suggest that incorporating soil microbes into sustainable agricultural practices could be a viable strategy to reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers and enhance long-term soil health

Abstract

The stagnation of national rice productivity in Indonesia, often termed a “productivity plateau,” poses a serious risk to long-term food security. This study examines the vulnerability of rice production by analyzing the relationship between Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) levels and regional productivity using secondary data from BBSDLP and the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). Spatial analysis covering 7.46 million hectares of Lahan Baku Sawah indicates that 68.45% of intensive paddy fields exhibit soil fatigue, with SOC levels below the critical threshold of 1.5%. Statistical results reveal a strong positive correlation between SOC and rice yields (r = 0.74, p < .001). Regression analysis shows that SOC variation explains 54.7% of productivity fluctuations, demonstrating that mineral fertilizer effectiveness is constrained by organic matter depletion. High Vulnerability Red Zones are concentrated in technically irrigated areas of Java, where intensive cropping without organic restitution has degraded soil structure. These findings underscore the need to shift agricultural policy from mineral-based subsidies toward an integrated soil health strategy centered on organic carbon restoration as a prerequisite for sustainable food production.
