Participatory Communication to Strengthen Farmers' Empowerment and Adaptation in Facing the Impacts of Climate Change

2023-07-28T06:15:00+00:00

Agriculture and farmers are sectors and parties affected by climate change. Unfortunately, farmers' knowledge and adaptive capacity are still low due to the limited climate change information that they receive. The development of communication models to strengthen the interaction and flow of information has been very active. However, it has not yet addressed the lack of empowerment and scarcity of farmer participation. Therefore, we need a dialogical, horizontal, participatory communication model with an emphasis on empowerment and farmer participation. This research, using a participatory communication model, aims to see how participatory communication can encourage the empowerment and adaptability of farmers to climate change. This study uses a participatory action research approach with participatory data collection techniques for the Rural Communications Assessment (PRCA). The theory used is participatory communication and social change, which allows farmers and researchers to be equally involved and dialogue to occur. This research demonstrates the fact that participatory communication through a dialogue process can promote common goals and action in dealing with climate change. In addition, this research was also able to increase farmer empowerment, which was marked by changes at the individual farmer and social levels. These changes take the form of strengthening farmers' knowledge, perceptions, and skills related to climate change and adaptation actions and increasing farmer participation in village development planning. Farmers have been able to push the issue of strengthening farmer resilience to become part of the village development plan.

Livelihood Resilience of Small Fishers Households in Rural Areas, Indonesia

2023-08-07T07:58:45+00:00

The concept of livelihood resilience provides a unique framework for examining the utilization of livelihood capital and resilience values of farming households in ensuring sustainable communities. This study was conducted in Muarareja Village, Tegal Barat Subdistrict, Tegal City, in January-March 2019 by assessing the utilization of five livelihood capitals and livelihood resilience actions of fisher households facing social, economic, and ecological pressures. Data were collected through surveys, observations, and structured interviews, supported by a literature review. Purposive stratified-accidental sampling was used to interview fishermen from every socioeconomic class. The sample was 40 small-scale fisher households divided into 35 lower-layer fisher households and five upper-layer fisher households. Data analysis was conducted descriptively with simple tabulation to describe the condition of the study area. The results showed that social capital is the main capital utilized by lower-layer fishermen. Meanwhile, physical and financial capital are mostly utilized by upper-layer fisher households. Genealogical relationships and territorial ties in the study location make social capital dominant. Self-organization is the highest resilience action by lower-layer fisher households by prioritizing the value of trust. Meanwhile, upper-layer fishermen households have a high resilience value in the capacity of learning action on the value of experimentation. Ownership of larger production capital makes it easier for upper-layer fishermen households to make many alternatives to continue fishing. Meanwhile, due to limited ownership and access to production capital, lower-layer fishing households prioritize the value of trust between neighbors and relatives as their social safety net.

Development of Indonesian Soybean Industry: Comparison Between Self-Sufficiency and Import Policies

2023-09-20T08:26:12+00:00

The aims of this article to analyze and evaluate soybean self-sufficiency and import policies in Indonesia through policy simulations for the development of soybean self-sufficiency and imports in Indonesia. The data used in this study are annual secondary data in the form of a time series from 1995 to 2020. This research uses descriptive analysis methods, simultaneous equation models (2SLS) and alternative policy simulations. The results shows that The GDP per capita in Indonesia and the considerable 5% increase in the price of soya beans are just two of the favorable factors influencing imports. However, it also demonstrates that there are no external variables influencing Indonesia's export of soy beans. The yield of soy beans is also positively and significantly impacted by the area of the land. On the other hand, Indonesia's soya bean net export is negative and significant. There are several alternative scenarios for Indonesia's soybean policy, including the escalation of land-size (20%), GDP per capita (30%), and official exchange rate (10%). The result of the policy simulation shows that the land-size is important factor to encouraging Indonesian soybean self-sufficiency due to essential input factors.

Price Volatility of Horticulture Commodity During the Pandemic in East Java, Indonesia

2023-10-06T08:12:20+00:00

In the past two years, market information and the distribution of agricultural products have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has limited the distribution of information and the movement of agricultural products. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic can lead to non-competitive behavior among intermediary traders, especially those operating in concentrated markets. This research aims to analyze the price volatility of horticulture commodity during the pandemic in East Java, Indonesia. The research data was collected through the official website of the Information System for Availability and Price Development of Basic Necessities in East Java (SISKAPERBAPO). The method used to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on horticultural agricultural product prices is ARCH (Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastic) and GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity). The volatility results show that the prices of chili and shallots often fluctuate with high and unpredictable variations. However, the fluctuations in the prices of these two commodities are not due to a lack of supply or high demand, but rather due to the characteristics of these commodities, which are perishable and highly dependent on the season of production. The lower the quality, the lower the price will be. The price of shallots is relatively stable compared to chili due to its longer shelf life and less depreciation. The constraint faced by farmers of these two commodities during harvest time is the lack of storage facilities to store their harvest, forcing them to sell all their produce to middlemen or traders, which is one of the causes of the fluctuation of commodity prices.

2023-11-01T01:12:51+00:00

Risk is related to uncertainty that has the potential to occur and can have a negative impact on the company if not handled. Risks in the product supply chain have a greater impact on agricultural products. The purpose of this research is to analyze the pameling avocado supply chain system at PT. S, knowing supply chain risk priorities based on fuzzy AHP calculations, and determining pameling avocado supply chain risk mitigation at PT. S for each actor. Respondents were taken by purposive sampling consisting of 3 farmers, 3 middleman, 1 person from the company, namely the marketing general manager, and 1 retailer representative. Pameling avocado supply chain system at PT. S has 2 types of marketing channels, so that supply chain actors consist of 4 actors, namely farmers, middlemen, companies (PT. S), and retailers. Based on the Fuzzy AHP calculation, the priority risk at the farm level is environmental risk, with priority risk indicators being that land conditions do not support growth requirements (too dense soil, lack of nutrients). At the middleman level, the priority risk is price risk, with the priority indicator being the amount of marketing/distribution costs. At the company level, the highest risk priority is quality risk, with product damage priority risk indicators. Then, At the retailers, the highest risk priority is supply risk, with priority risk indicators in the form of uncertainty in the quantity of pameling avocado stock. Risk mitigation is designed using a descriptive analysis method with interview techniques and literature studies.
