Agricultural Agglomeration Strategy in Supporting Regeneration of Shallots Farmers on Marginal Land

The declining interest of the younger generation to become farmers has implications for the crisis of farmer regeneration, which results in a decline in state income and increased import dependence. On the other hand, there is agglomerated marginal land farming in Srigading Village, Sanden Sub-district, Bantul which has increased agricultural yields in 2022. This research discusses the factors supporting and inhibiting the level of farmer regeneration to analyze the determinants of the success of agricultural agglomeration. This research was conducted in Srigading Village, Sanden District, Bantul Regency. This study used a qualitative approach with primary data from interviews with young farmers aged 20-35, old farmers aged over 35, non-farmers, extension workers, and government agencies to identify supporting and inhibiting factors for farmer regeneration. Furthermore, this research uses a case study and ecological-geographical approach, testing the validity of the data using the source triangulation method. The results show that aspects such as self, family, friends, government, social, social media, economy, and organization are both supporting and inhibiting factors for the level of agricultural regeneration, while aspects such as school and geography are neutral factors. Based on the interview results, agglomerated agricultural conditions facilitate access to knowledge, distribution of government assistance, and encourage innovation to develop agriculture. Spatial aspects such as distance between fields, exchange of information flows between farmers, collective use of resources, and government policies are determinants of the success of agglomeration strategies in supporting farmer regeneration

The Impact of Secure Tenure on Women's Participation in Agricultural Households Decision-Making: Has It Been Equal?

The empowerment of women within the agricultural sector constitutes a pivotal factor for the sustainability of farming practices. A key facet of women's empowerment lies in their capacity to make decisions, encompassing choices both for personal matters and those pertaining to their families. Land ownership is posited as a significant catalyst fostering individual decision-making prowess. However, Indonesia grapples with challenges concerning the attainment of parity in land ownership between genders. This research endeavors to scrutinize the repercussions of land ownership, particularly secure tenure, on individuals' participation in decision-making processes. Additionally, it seeks to discern disparities in decision-making participation between men and women. The data underpinning this study emanate from individual-level information extracted from the 2021 integrated agricultural survey, yielding a robust dataset with 635.235 observations of the adult population. The findings of this investigation illuminate a positive correlation between land ownership and heightened participation in decision-making. Nonetheless, when dissected through the lens of gender, it becomes apparent that women exhibit a propensity for diminished participation in decision-making related to agricultural endeavors, relative to their male counterparts. Remarkably, women endowed with secure tenure tend to manifest a proclivity toward reduced involvement in decision-making processes. Despite this observed trend, it is noteworthy that targeted agricultural training programs hold promise for amplifying the participation of women in decision-making roles. This underscores the potential for interventions aimed at bridging existing gender differentials in decision-making within the agricultural domain

Group Roles in Local Food Processing to Achieve Resilience of Agricultural Household Industries in Gunungkidul

The role of women from small farming families in utilizing surrounding resources to preserve local food is an important issue to study. This study aims to (1) analyze the role of members in groups which include task roles, maintenance roles, and blocking roles, and to (2) analyze the factors influencing group role. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method. Data were collected from 31 respondents selected by the census from the Desa Prima members in Sambirejo, Ngawen, Gunungkidul. Data are analyzed using multiple regression with SPSS. In-depth interviews with group leaders and group member representatives were also conducted to explain cases in roles distribution in Desa Prima. The results showed that task role significantly positively affected the group's enhancement in developing local foods. The group has a clear task distribution so that all works can be completed properly. The role of members as blocking roles is rare and does not have much impact on group dynamics since the members can understand each other. The role of members in how well they can complete the tasks needs to be maintained so that they can still be responsible for completing their tasks properly although some members also have side jobs. Thus, it is necessary to divide the tasks along with a clear timeline. To increase the independence of the home industry, obstacles in the management and processing of local foods should be overcome through increasing the group role
