“…The needs referred to are consumptive needs, such as purchasing motorized vehicles and household appliances, and not only so on, but also sometimes non-consumptive needs, such as educational needs ahead of a new school year, health needs, etcetera. This condition is the same as the phenomenon that occurs in the research of Hermaliza et al (2022). Even though the agricultural sector is the most significant contributor to the economy of Aceh Province, this sector does not guarantee an increase in the welfare of farmers.…”

Serdang Bedagai regency is one of the regions in North Sumatra Province that has a high source of income in agriculture. Nevertheless, most farmers have a low level of welfare, marked by the widespread practice of borrowing money from illegal intermediaries or pawnbrokers as an alternative funding source for farmers to meet urgent needs such as consumption, education, and health. This condition is detrimental to farmers due to the lack for more financial understanding, so making the right financial decisions is difficult. This study examines the effect of Financial Literacy, Financial Inclusion on the Welfare of Farmers. The population is farmers who cultivate agricultural land in the form of rice fields in Serdang Bedagai. This study uses a questionnaire distributed to Farmers in Serdang Bedagai. A total of 202 respondents participated in this study and were collected using convenience sampling. The data processing method used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the alternative Partial Least Square (PLS) to determine the direct and indirect effect of financial literacy on the welfare of farmers through financial inclusion. This study found that financial inclusion has a positive and significant effect on the welfare of farmers in the Serdang Bedagai district. Financial literacy directly has a positive and significant impact on the welfare of farmers. In comparison, financial literacy does not significantly influence the welfare of farmers. However, financial inclusion can mediate the effect of financial literacy on the Welfare of Serdang Bedagai Farmers.

The swamp buffalo is a valuable genetic resource and an important source of animal protein in Indonesia. Unfortunately, their population is decreasing due to problems attributed to conventional farming systems. The objective of the study was to examine the sustainability of swamp buffalo farming and identify the attributes that influence its sustainability. Data were collected through a focus group discussion involving experts and business actors in swamp buffalo farming and a survey on buffalo farmers. The study examined 52 attributes within 6 dimensions: ecological, economic, social, technological, institutional, and welfare dimensions. The data were analysed using multidimensional scaling through the Rapid Appraisal for Swamp Buffalo technique. The results of the study demonstrate that swamp buffalo farming in Hulu Sungai Utara (HSU), Hulu Sungai Selatan (HSS), and Hulu Sungai Tengah (HST) districts in South Kalimantan province has sustainability indices of 51.70, 53.13, and 48.87%, respectively. This study identified 12 leverage attributes that are very influential to the sustainability of swamp buffalo farming, i.e., climatic conditions, land suitability, marketing, income from swamp buffalo farming, mutual assistance, education level, processing technology, reproduction technology, the role of local government, capital institutions, programs from central government, and farmers’ welfare. Swamp buffalo farming in HSU and HSS is moderately sustainable, while in HST, it is less sustainable, suggesting improvement in the key factors influencing the sustainability of swamp buffalo farming. This study offers valuable insights for the government in formulating policies and programs for developing swamp buffalo farming and conserving swamp buffalo germplasm.
