Abstract

Mojokerto Regency is known as a major producer of rice, soybeans, and corn. Rice, as the main commodity, shows relatively stable production with seasonal fluctuations influenced by planting patterns and weather conditions. Corn and soybeans have experienced significant production increases, driven by rising market demand and government programs promoting food crop diversification. This study aims to analyze the contribution, trend, and growth of the agricultural sector to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in Mojokerto Regency. The methods used include Contribution Analysis, Trend Analysis, and Shift Share Analysis, based on time series data from 2014 to 2023. The results show that the agricultural sector makes a significant contribution to the GRDP of Mojokerto Regency, although it remains below the manufacturing sector. Trend analysis indicates a tendency for the agricultural sector’s contribution to increase throughout the study period. Meanwhile, the Shift Share results reveal that the agricultural sector has competitive advantages and a positive regional growth effect compared to the average performance of the agricultural sector in East Java Province. The study concludes that the agricultural sector continues to play a strategic role in the regional economy and should be supported by sustainable development policies to optimize its contribution.

Abstract

Marga Sungsang has mangrove forests that have been degraded into plantations and require restoration activities. One restoration method that can be used is experimental multispecies planting. This study aims to determine the variation in mangrove growth across species and seed gradients. The data measured include environmental parameters, height growth per 3 months, and the number of branches and leaves. The results show that the water temperature ranges from 25.2 - 26.6 ° C and the soil pH ranges from 7.0 - 7.3 within the range that supports mangrove growth. The water pH value ranges from 12.1 - 14.3 and DO ranges from 3.5 - 4.1 mg / L both are outside the optimum range but mangroves can grow and adapt well to less than ideal conditions. Salinity ranges from 4.8 - 8.8 ppt is classified as low but still within the tolerance threshold. The total N content of 0.2% and total P of 13.3 - 41.8 ppm is in the low-moderate category and still meets initial nutritional needs. Rhizophora apiculata (RA) seedling has a high and significant growth rate, while Rhizophora apiculata (RA) and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (BG) propagules show faster height growth in the early phase compared to seedling seeds. Rhizophora apiculata (RA) seedling and propagules produce almost the same number of leaves and branches at the end. These findings indicate that Rhizophora apiculata (RA) seedling and propagules are very suitable for planting in the mangrove restoration area of ​​Marga Sungsang Village.

Abstract

The availability of high-quality forage remains a major challenge in ruminant livestock systems, particularly during the dry season. Indigofera zollingeriana is a promising leguminous species with high protein content, yet its cultivation is constrained by high seed dormancy. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various dormancy-breaking treatments on the germination of I. zollingeriana seeds, both in general (across treatment groups) and specifically (to determine the most effective treatment). The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 17 non-factorial treatments and three replications, using two germination test methods: Top of Paper (TOP) and Between Paper (BP). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and orthogonal contrast tests at 5% and 1% significance levels. Results showed that all treatments (K1–K16) significantly increased germination percentage compared to the control, with averages of 49.88% vs. 36.00% (TOP) and 53.69% vs. 41.00% (BP). The most effective treatment was immersion in 95% sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) for 10 minutes, which achieved the highest germination rate (88%) and the lowest dormancy intensity (0%), significantly outperforming physical, biological, and hormonal treatments. These findings indicate that short-duration chemical scarification can serve as a standard treatment for large-scale I. zollingeriana seed production. Further studies are needed to evaluate the physiological safety of the treatment and its impact on early seedling growth in field conditions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of group dynamics and group performance on the achievement of independence within the Kosaghra Lestari farmer group in Surabaya City, as a representation of urban agriculture. A quantitative approach was employed, using total sampling of 42 group members. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach, assisted by SmartPLS 4 software. The results indicate that both group dynamics and group performance have a positive and significant effect on group independence, with path coefficients of 0.437 and 0.536, respectively. The R² value of 0.893 suggests that the combination of both variables explains 89.3% of the variance in group independence. Group performance exerts a more dominant influence, particularly in terms of task effectiveness, punctuality, and structured division of responsibilities. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening internal group capacity in fostering sustainable independence, particularly in the context of developing farmer groups in urban settings.

Abstract

Seabed ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrass beds play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting the livelihoods of coastal communities. Ketawai Island, located in Central Bangka, harbors rich benthic ecosystems that are currently under pressure from anthropogenic activities such as tin mining, unregulated tourism, and pollution. This study aims to analyze the condition of seabed habitats around Ketawai Island and to develop a conservation zoning framework using a spatial approach. The data used includes Sentinel-2A satellite imagery and 140 sample points analyzed using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The classification resulted in four substrate classes: rubble/dead coral (39.06%), live coral reefs (34.95%), sand (24.68%), and seagrass (1.31%), with a classification accuracy of 85%, validated using a confusion matrix based on 140 reference points, divided into 70% for training and 30% for validation. The conservation zoning was divided into four categories: core zone (providing full protection for healthy coral and seagrass habitats), rehabilitation zone (for ecosystem restoration), limited-use zone (for educational tourism and research under strict regulation), and buffer zone (as a transitional area to mitigate external pressure and support the sustainability of other zones). This study recommends the protection of remaining coral reefs and seagrass areas, along with restoration efforts in degraded regions. The proposed zoning provides a scientific basis for sustainable coastal management and serves as a strategic approach for adapting to climate change.

Abstract

Waste management is a major challenge for sustainable development in Indonesia, where 40.26% of Indonesia’s waste remains unmanaged. Waste banks have emerged as innovative community-based solution that combines waste reduction with socio-economic benefits and agriculture for community. This study aims to identify and analyze the typology and characteristics of waste banks in Ciamis Regency and evaluate their effectiveness in supporting integrated agricultural sustainable waste management systems. The research method uses a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design on three waste bank units: Main Waste Bank (MWB) Ciamis, Unit Waste Bank (USB) Al Huda, and BSU Tumras. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and closed interviews with 18 respondents, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis used descriptive and taxonomic analysis methods.The research results show three main typologies of waste banks in Ciamis Regency: Type A (Large Scale) with a volume >10 tons/month that acts as a strategic coordinator; Type B (Medium Scale) with a volume 1,834.74 kg/month that acts as a coordination-implementation bridge; and Type C (Small Scale) with a volume 443.1 kg/month month that focuses on direct community service. Each typology shows different effectiveness: BSI Ciamis 85%, BSU Al Huda 78% (15% agricultural itegration), and BSU Tumras 70% (12% agricultural integration). The waste bank system in Ciamis Regency has successfully reduced 15% of waste generation to landfills and increased the recycling rate from 25% to 60%, and produced 150 kg/month of organic fertilizer and animal feed support local food security. This study concludes that the diversity of waste bank typologies reflects adaptation to local conditions and contributes to the effectiveness of integrated community-based agricultural sustainable waste management systems.

Abstract

Monitoring mangrove health is essential for identifying stress caused by environmental and anthropogenic pressures, such as salinity, sedimentation, hydrological changes, and land clearing around the mangrove ecosystem. This study aims to map mangrove stress levels in the Air Telang Mangrove Reserve by integrating remote sensing data through the analysis of the NDRE (Normalized Difference Red Edge) index and SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development) measurements. A quantitative approach was applied using NDRE analysis from satellite imagery processed with ArcGIS and in-situ SPAD chlorophyll measurements. The NDRE analysis results indicate that mangrove vegetation is predominantly classified as healthy, covering an area of 2,300.61 ha (75.85%), with 2.29 ha (0.08%) categorized as very healthy, 639.14 ha (21.07%) under moderate stress, and 91.10 ha (3.00%) classified as highly stressed or non-vegetated. These findings suggest that the majority of mangroves are in good condition, while only a small portion has been detected as experiencing stress. The correlation between SPAD and NDRE values showed a strong positive relationship with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.748 (p < 0.001) and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.560. These results indicate that the NDRE index can represent chlorophyll content in mangrove vegetation and serve as an alternative to SPAD-based field measurements. Therefore, both SPAD measurements and NDRE vegetation indices can be considered effective tools for assessing the health or stress levels of mangrove ecosystems.

Abstract

Climate change and food security are global challenges on this era. Climate trends play a critical role in characterizing climatic conditions and informing agricultural suitability recommendations in tropical regions. As rapidly expanding tropical urban areas, Palembang and Jambi warrant particular attention regarding to climate and food security challenges. The study aimed to evaluate climate change and suitability for urban agriculture in Palembang and Jambi. The study used secondary data of monthly rainfall, air temperature, relative humidity, and sunshine duration for the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 periods. The collected data were subsequently averaged on a monthly basis for each observation period. Thereafter, the data were analyzed using descriptive method. The results showed that there are obvious differences of climate status between Palembang and Jambi, especially related to rainfall. Rainfall in Palembang is higher than Jambi as represented by number of wet months (5-8 months on Palembang and 3-6 months on Jambi). Meanwhile, the dry season in Jambi is potentially longer than Palembang. There was an indication of increasing air temperature in both regions, as indicated by the higher air temperature in 2019-2023 compared to 2014-2018. The air temperature increases each month in Palembang and Jambi is 1.14% and 0.93%, respectively. Nevertheless, air temperature, air humidity, and sunshine duration were still within the range of tropical plants to grow and be productive. Therefore, the recommendation of suitable cultivation in Palembang and Jambi is almost similar, in March-April and November-December applying cultivation techniques under excess water condition, otherwise in June-August on drought-resistant or minimum irrigation cultivation.

Abstract

Social Forestry Program (PS) is a national initiative aimed at providing legal access for local communities and indigenous groups to manage state forests through schemes such as Village Forests, Community Forests, People's Plantations, Customary Forests, and Forest Partnerships. The goal of social forestry is to improve economic welfare while maintaining the forest ecosystem functions. In the Bayung Lencir District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, there is a social forestry area of approximately 22,093 hectares, consisting of 15 social forestry permits involving 2,154 households. One of the obligations of social forestry permit holders is to protect their area from forest fires. However, from 2014 to 2024, an average of 49 forest fire hotspots occurred annually, with the peak of forest fires occurring during the El Nino years of 2015 (235 hotspots in LPHD Kepayang) and 2019 (169 hotspots in LPHD Muara Merang). These figures reflect the weak capacity for fire mitigation within social forestry groups, limited technical and financial resources, and the lack of policy integration into regional planning. Policy analysis was conducted using a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, focusing on policies for improving fire mitigation capacity and firefighting infrastructure, collaboration and partnership policies, policies for increasing village fund utilization, strengthening national policy, and policies for climate change adaptation and disaster mitigation. The policy selection alternatives were evaluated using a priority table for policy alternatives. The prioritized policy recommendation is the improvement of fire mitigation capacity and firefighting infrastructure. To support this policy, a Logic Model Analysis was performed.
