Poverty is a persistent problem in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. The poor population in rural areas by their livelihood as farmers, and 75% of the poor farmers are food crop farmers, especially rice farmers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the income and feasibility of farming and the poverty level of rice farmer household. This research was conducted in an area where most of the population is rice farmers. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by analyzing quantitative data through income analysis and farm feasibility and poverty rates of farm household according to Sayogyo. Research shows that rice farming produces 1,845 kg with an income of IDR. 16,605,000 based on local rice prices, IDR. 9,000/kg. While the total costs incurred by farmers are IDR. 3,596,000 so that the household income of rice farmers is IDR. 13,009,000/year with an R/C value of 1.3. Based on the value of the household income of rice farmers with an average number of family dependents of 5 people, it can be determined the poverty level criteria that are equivalent to the level of rice consumption that is equal to 289.1 kg/person/year. Thus, rice farming households according to Sayogyo are in the criteria between "Very Poor" and "Poor" household with household income equivalent to 240-320 kg of rice/person/year. Because it has a feasibility value of more than 1, the rice farming has a comparative advantage, but the feasibility value has not been able to alleviate the rice farmer household of poverty.
Agroecology-based farming in the management of highlands that is effective and targeted can provide economic benefits and protect land and the environment simultaneously. Sustainable land use is the use of land that meets current needs, and at the same time preserves these resources for future generations. This study aims to compare the farming income of cabbage monoculture, clove monoculture, and agroforestry of cabbage with cloves. Next is to look at the level of risk of each farming system and determine the farming system used by farmers as a form of risk management through the selection of cultivation technology by utilizing the suitability and adaptation of vegetation. The results showed that an agroforestry system is a form of risk management strategy for highland vegetable farmers with a monoculture cropping system that has prospects from an economic aspect but has a high risk from an ecological aspect.
