“…Among the three productivity categories established, it is evident that there is indeed a positive correlation between the amount of credit received by tenant farmers and the productivity level of the cultivated solar salt field area. The results of this analysis further bolster the findings of previous research studies, such as those conducted by Baga et al (2023), Linh et al (2019), Martey et al (2019), Namboka et al (2017), andRifaini et al (2022). Moon et al (2020) explained in his research that productivity and profitability was higher for ECSOFiM Journal of Economic and Social of Fisheries and Marine.…”

The ease in obtaining a loan is often regarded as a key advantage of the sharecropping system in the traditional solar salt business of Pamekasan Regency. The challenges faced by tenant farmers in accessing formal financial institutions have led to the continued prevalence of the sharecropping system in rural areas. This research aims to find the relationship between the sharecropping system, informal credit, and salt land productivity. The first analysis employs a multiple linier regression model on 93 tenant farmers in Pamekasan Regency to analyze the factors that influenced the amount of informal credit. Next, a quantitative descriptive analysis was carried out regarding the relationship between the sharecropping system, the amount of informal credit, and the productivity of solar salt fields area. Findings indicate that the significant factors affecting the credit amounts requested by tenant farmers include the cost of funds, loan duration, profits garnered by tenant farmers, the availability of collaterals, and the presence of other credit sources. The second conclusion of this research findings is that the extent of solar salt land area has a positive correlation with the informal credit amount, as does the productivity of the land. It should be an expected necessity for the government to play a larger role in supplying formal credit to small-scale farmers. This includes measures like credit rationing to diminish the influence of landowners.

“…Information, particularly regarding government programs, often circulates more quickly within these groups. For instance, access to fertilizer subsidies is primarily facilitated through the farmers' group (Baga et al, 2023). In addition to farmers' groups, other community associations, such as the rukun tetangga (RT) or neighborhood, provide support to farmers in this volcano-prone area.…”

Mount Merapi, one of Indonesia’s most active and dangerous volcanoes, experienced a devastating eruption in 2010, causing numerous fatalities and widespread damage to homes and land, especially in areas vulnerable to the volcano’s activity. Despite the inherent risks, many farmers continue to cultivate the region’s land. This study examines the resilience of farmers in the Mount Merapi area in light of the persistent volcanic activity. Employing a qualitative methodology, including in-depth interviews and field observations, the research reveals that farmers’ resilience is shaped by their individual experiences and the contributions of government, private sector, and community actors. Long-term residence in the area has equipped farmers with the knowledge and confidence required to navigate the risks and hazards associated with the volcano. Farmers prioritize their safety but also focus on safeguarding their livestock and other essential resources, which are integral to their livelihoods. The local community is instrumental in supporting farmers and residents in disaster-prone zones, while external organizations offer additional advantages to farmers’ lives. The study proposes that a collaborative effort among all stakeholders is essential for maintaining farmers’ livelihoods in areas susceptible to volcanic activity.

“…Higher levels of education are likely to encourage farmers to have a more open mindset towards innovation and possess greater potential for knowledge in food utilization (Catacutan and Naz 2015;Guo et al 2021;Kuswanto et al 2019). This is because higher education may lead to increased awareness of the importance of nutritious and balanced food (Baga et al 2023;Etshekape et al 2018). Education for farmers in forest and peatland fires prone areas might also help them to increase their ability to address the risk and hazards of the fires (Carmenta et al 2017).…”

Forest and peatland fires in Indonesia affect the lives of farmers near the prone areas, and their food security is impacted. This research aimed to examine the level of food security and identify the factors influencing it in the forest and peatland fires of South Kalimantan. One hundred farmers, considered vulnerable to peatland fires, from two subdistricts, namely Gambut District and Sungai Tabuk District, were interviewed. The study employed the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) method, consisting of nine food conditions questions and logistic regression analysis. This study shows that the majority of farmers experience mild food insecurity. Land status, family size, fire rate, and land size affected the farmers’ food security. Disaster mitigation education may help reduce the impact of forest and peatland fires on farmers’ food security. Additionally, support from various stakeholders will strengthen food security efforts.
