The research examined the challenges and opportunities of community-based innovation in Indonesia by conducting a case study in the Petani Muda Keren (PMK) Bali Community, a pilot community for innovative farming development in Bali province. In addition, the research also provided a knowledge transfer mechanism in the community to explore how innovation diffusion happens in the community. As a group of people with a common interest and mission, a farmer’s community could be an effective place for innovation diffusion by offering emotional support to handle psychosocial issues. Moreover, it could construct its members’ perceptions of technology through social shaping processes. A qualitative case study was applied in the research to explore community-based innovation in Indonesia’s agriculture that highlighted Petani Muda Keren Bali Community. Through observation and in-depth interviews with the community founder and twenty farmers from five regions in Bali, the current research indicates challenges and opportunities of community-based innovation in Indonesia related to several issues, including innovation rate and farmers’ readiness, the perception gap between young and elderly farmer, the inconsistency of young members, and government support and policies to the community.
<p class="16" align="justify"><span>Along with world developments that encourage every country to innovate, Indonesia also has aspirations to increase domestic innovation. The success of several other countries in increasing economic growth through innovation is the driving force. Indonesia also has the same desire to pay attention to innovation and science, and technology. Along the way, there have been developments in innovation policies in Indonesia in terms of institutional structure and implementation of innovative programs. This paper tries to identify how the innovation policy has developed through quantitative analysis of innovation, science and technology regulations starting in 2004. This paper has divided the regulations into four eras according to the era of the elected President from 2004 to 2024.
