CARRYING CAPACITY OF NON-RICE FEATURED CROPS FOR ALTERNATIVE FOOD AVAILABILITY IN BANGGAI REGENCY, CENTRAL SULAWESI

Basic human needs are something that is needed by man to maintain his life, and the carrying capacity of food crops is very important for food availability in the face of food crises in each region. The purpose of this study is to find out which non-rice food crops are superior and the carrying capacity of non-rice superior food crops that can be used as alternative food in Banggai Regency. The data used in this research is data on the production of non-rice food crops in 2017 and 2021. Furthermore, the research was conducted using qualitative methods that were analyzed descriptively quantitatively with the LQ-SSA approach and the Carrying Capacity of Agricultural Area Land. So that the results of the analysis of LQ and SSA of non-rice food crops that are superior are obtained, namely corn which is spread in 14 districts, sweet potatoes in 5 districts, peanuts in 4 districts, and soybeans in 1 district. Furthermore, the land carrying capacity of non-rice superior food crops, obtained the results of corn, sweet potato, peanut, and soybean plants experiencing a surplus (SL>DL), which means that these superior food crops can contribute to a decent life for the population and determine the carrying capacity of the agricultural area of food crops. non-rice seed, the result is corn (ℓ > 1), which means that corn can be used as an alternative food to replace rice. As well as for Sweet Potato, Peanut, and Soybean plants, the results obtained (ℓ < 1), which means that these plants cannot be used as an alternative food to replace rice in Banggai Regency

THE ROLE OF LEADING SECTOR IN REALIZING INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH CENTRAL TIMOR DISTRICT

Development Communication in Indonesia: Programmes, Methods, and Approaches

Development communication is an art and science that has evolved through various communication activities and programs conducted over the past twenty years especially in the field of agricultural communication. Experiences in Indonesia are providing certain insights into the issue of communication in the agricultural development that can be made effective. In Indonesia, there is a variety of communication resources being marshalled to help agriculture develop. Farmer groups and Contact-Farmers are the essential social institutions within the agricultural communication framework in Indonesia. Several methodologies or approaches related to this foundation which have been implemented are: Farmer\u27s Agricultural and Rural Training Center (FAR-TC); Integrated Pest Management (IPM); Income Generating Project for Marginal Farmers and Landless (IGP); Decentralized Agricultural and Forestry Extension Project (DAFEP); and The Training and Visit System (T&V)

Garlic Business Model Development Strategy: Canvas Model Business Approach

Garlic is one of the commodities developed in the country as an effort to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce imports. This study aims to identify the existing business models in the garlic production centers and develop garlic ideal business models using Business Model Canvas (BMC) approach. The others purpose is to identify the critical points of existing business models and formulate policy recommendations for developing garlic business models to support production. The study used primary and secondary data. The primary data was obtained from a survey conducted in 2021 at garlic production centers with purposive sampling methods such as Karanganyar Regency, Boyolali Regency, and Magelang Regency. The analysis shows that key partner elements, customer segments, and channels are the critical point. Thus, to develop the garlic business model, it is necessary to carry out synergy and collaboration of stakeholders (key partners) to overcome critical activities, essential resources, customer segments, partnerships, channels, and value co-creation. As a result, it will improve garlic farmers' cost structure and revenue stream, so garlic production can increase to meet domestic needs.

Subaltern agency and the political economy of rural social change

Twenty years after the fall of Suharto in Indonesia, most political studies of Indonesia’s post-New Order democratic ‘transition’ have left the ideas, forms of organisation, strategies and impacts of lower class struggles largely unexamined. Scholarly works that address the dynamics of social and political change have largely focussed on the mixed outcomes of decentralisation and democratisation of state power for elite actors since Reformasi, providing little or no framework for conceptualising popular political action in the context of this institutional restructuring. Drawing on propositions from Marxist political economy, Gramsci’s concept of hegemony and social reproduction theory, this thesis develops analytical approaches for investigating the dynamics of rural subaltern agency in post-New Order Indonesia, focussing on how rural subaltern actors ‘do politics’. The approach applied here extends the analysis of political studies beyond the state, its institutions and hegemonic practices by focussing on the persistent, albeit often fragmented, popular struggles to secure control of resources and shift social relations of power in favour of subaltern and other non-elite classes. It considers the connections between everyday popular encroachments on hegemonic power, social movement struggles and moments of social and political crisis with the potential for transformative social and political change. Using qualitative data from extensive fieldwork in Central Java, the thesis demonstrates that legacies of subaltern struggles over power and land as a resource are reflected in villagers’ contemporary relations with state institutions and other forms of social organisation. They organise across multiple scales, and employ diverse tactics including shifting alliances with other social actors to further their interests. Their political claims are strongly informed by cultures and ideologies that have their roots in previous periods of collective action, which are reproduced or transformed though their experiences in contemporary social struggles. Finally, the thesis considers how these diverse expressions of subaltern social struggles might contribute to progressive forms of agrarian development and the broadening and deepening of pro-poor democratic struggles in Indonesia

The Failure of Agropolitan and Minapolitan Areas Development in Pandeglang Regency

The Government of Pandeglang Regency has established the agropolitan and minapolitan areas that are stipulated in the Regional Regulation No. 03 Year 2011 about Regional Land Use Plan (RTRW). This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the policy on the development of the areas by employing the descriptive analytical approach. The results reveal that the policy of the area establishment had political implications in it so that the agropolitan area is not being developed. Based on the scalogram and centrality analyses, none of the villages in minapolitan area are considered well-developed

CLUSTER OF INDONESIA KABUPATEN-KOTA POTENTIAL IN DEVELOPING FOOD CROP AND HORTICULTURE COMMODITIES

Identification of potential areas in an agricultural sector is needed in order to meet the national food needs, among others, by carrying out mapping the potential areas through clustering the Kabupaten-Kota in Indonesia, especially on imported agricultural commodities of food crops and horticultures. The use of cluster analysis with top-down clustering method (K-means) produces the best cluster. Of 268 regencies-cities, there are 7 clusters, namely Cluster 1 consisting of 154 regencies, Cluster 2 consisting of 2 regencies, Cluster 3 consisting of only1 regency, Cluster 4 consisting of 8 regencies, Cluster 5 consisting of 24 regencies, Cluster 6 consisting of 75 regencies, and Cluster 7 consisting of 4 regencies. Each cluster has its own dominant commodity characteristics.  The results of typology klassen on constructed clusters show that food crop and horticulture commodities have grown well and fast. Out of 13 commodities, there are 7 major commodities: Cluster 1: rice and corns; Clusters 2, 3 and 7: cassava; Cluster 4: corns, cassavas and chilly; Cluster 5: apples; Cluster 6: corns, shallots, and garlic. Six other commodities do not grow well, namely sorghum, potatoes, soybeans, peanuts, oranges, and grapes. The potential lack of an area is due to the plants’ low productivity, which is mainly because of plant pests, highly operational cost, climates and natural disasters.
