Strategi Nafkah Petani oleh Adanya Konversi Lahan Sawah ke Lahan Kelapa Sawit (Studi Kasus Desa Padangguni Utama Kecamatan Abuki Kabupaten Konawe)

This research will be based in the background by the displacement of the rice field in Padangguni Utama Village Abuki District of Konawe Regency by conversion of rice field to palm oil field. Land conversion causes rice paddy farmers to lose some or all of their livelihoods so they have to use a variety of livelihoods strategy for surviving. The study was conducted from March to May 2017 at Padangguni Utama Village, Abuki District, Konawe District. This research uses the qualitative method with the number of key informants as much as 6 people determined by purposive and snowball. Data collection is done through the deep interview, field observation and supporting documentation data from the related institution. Data analysis was done descriptively by the triangulation method. The results found in this study indicate that land conversion occurs because farmers are attracted by large promises of compensation and promise of road improvements to be provided by the company. However, such promises are not realized as farmers hope while paddy farming land which is the main source of livelihood has been converted to oil palm. Farmers then pursued three livelihood strategies: engineering agricultural livelihoods by expanding arable land (Extensification), multiple livelihood patterns and spatial engineering

Social Changes in Peasant Community Due to Gold Mine

The discovery of gold at the end of 2008 followed by the activity of gold mining in Bombana Regency has brought many changes for local people who mostly live by unpretentious as the peasant. This paper examines the social changes of the peasant as a result of gold mining activities by mining companies in the area around their crops. This study applied post-positivism paradigm with the qualitative approach (descriptive and explanative types). It used the case study method. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews on elements of a peasant community, government and mining companies. The results reveal that gold mining activities for seven years have affected the environment in which peasants grow crops and have led to social change in the peasant community. Social changes that occurred consisted of changes and large population growth, social structure changes, changes in social interaction, psychosocial impacts and changes in culture (value of money)

Optimization of Land Use in Kuripan Village, Ciseeng District, Bogor Regency

Farmers in Kuripan Village cultivate cassava plants. Some farmers plant to get the tubers and others grow to harvest the leaves (oyek). The harvest obtained has not contributed significantly to the income of the farmer's household. For cassava tubers it takes 7 months to harvest while oyek takes a month to harvest. Low prices and market opportunities through middlemen have prevented farmers from relying on their land optimally. As a village assisted by the University of Muhammadiyah Jakarta, the Community Service team provides training to optimized land use by diversifying and regulating cropping patterns to cassava farmers. The targets and outcomes, first, increase the knowledge and skills of farmers to choosing the right plants according to the physical conditions to diversification. Through crop diversification, it will minimize crop failure because more than one type of plant is planted. Second, farmers have skills to design appropriate cropping patterns so the farmers have income continuity throughout the year and loss of soil nutrients at harvest can be minimized so that soil fertility can be save

Extracting Apis dorsata Binghamii Honey using Incision Technique

At the time of the flowering season arrives, honey bee colonies will actively fill the nest with honey, pollen and puppies. Along with the honey gatherers are also actively seeking to take the honey bee hive. Honeycomb (Apis dorsata Binghami) which has a hanging nest in trees was often taken by humans in an unproductive ways causing many young bees and hive contents besides honey, often wasted for the next harvest. The purpose of this study was to determine the slicing method honeycomb Apis dorsata Binghami in nature, which can speed up the next process in honey harvesting cycle. The sample consisted of eight observations of bee hive of Apis dorsata Binghami with four treatments and two replicates. Treatment P1 was slicing across the honeycomb, whereas nP2 treatment was the slicing/take part contains the honey hive, and treatment P3 used slicing whole beehive and later taped the sliced nest. P4 treatment had the honey extracted from the honey productive parts and then taped back the ex- slices from the middle of the nest. The results showed that the fastest time of bee colonies Apis dorsata Binghami back to the original nest is P4 treatment for it only took 0.000439 days while P2 took 0.000590 days. On the other hand P1 and P3 treatments took more than 80 days. Extracting just the honey from its nest will accelerate the bee colony reoccupation of their nest, compared with the whole slicing of the beehive. The faster the bee colony occupied the nest will result in quicker repair activities of the hive. The honey will be filled much faster for the next harvest revisits

Pengaruh Pelatihan Pertanian Organik The Learning Farm Indonesia terhadap Kompetensi Bertani Generasi Z

The research was aimed to determine the characteristics of the participants in The Learning Farm Indonesia training and analyze the effect of organic farming training by The Learning Farm Indonesia on Generation Z farming competence. The sample in this study was 1 (one) batch of participants in The Learning Farm Indonesia, namely youth aged 17-24 years (classified as in Generation Z), as many as 28 people. Characteristic data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Meanwhile, competency and training data were analyzed by correlation analysis method using the SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square) by utilizing the SmartPLS version 3 software application. The results showed that the characteristics of organic farming training participants of The Learning Farm Indonesia batch 41 were dominated by men, graduated from senior high school, and came from West Java. The training variables that influence the competency variables are training methods and training materials. The training method has an effect on knowledge with a p-value of 0.013. The training method has an effect on skills with a p-value of 0.025. The training material has an effect on skills with a p-value of 0.013.

The Impact of Eco-labeling and Forest Certification on Teak Forest Plantation

This paper deals with eco-labeling and certification process of forest. There are two objectives of the paper are; (a) to evaluate the impact of eco-labeling and forest certification on teak forest plantation, (b) to determine the financial feasibility of eco-label teak plant business with paddy rice (intercropping). This research was conducted in South Konawe District, South East Sulawesi, Indonesia using stratified random sampling with 62 farmers as respondents. Data were analyzed quantitatively and descriptively. Quantitative analysis was performed by using paired sample test, NPV, B/C and IRR. The result of the research indicates that ecolabel certificating process in KHJL involving many parties (collaboration) and conducted through these processes: selecting certificate giver, avoiding gap between certificate giver standard and KHJL forest management, consulting with stakeholders, reporting and certificating forest management; The ecolabel certificating process gives effect on the changes of planting pattern and the size of teak plant field. The effect on changes of planting pattern is indicated by the shifting of agroforestry planting pattern to simple agroforestry. The effect on field size of teak plant field is indicated by the improvement of average size of field from 0.53-2.07 ha per farmer. By considering three criterions (NPV value of df 18% equals to Rp 63.978.638,- NBCR value is greater than 1 in the amount of 8, and the IRR value of 41.26% or IRR > 18%), it can be said that, financially the certificated teak processed for business worth for exploration and expanded
