The main obstacle so far is the availability of forage, [2,8] In the Agro Techno Park (ATP) area of 50 Regency towns, the state of livestock production usually depends on grazing as a source of fodder, but the area of grass is comparatively small, which is only 8.97% [21] of the total land area covered. Potential to produce forage.…”

Farmer’s perceptions on risk and determinants of risk management strategy in integrated cattle and crops farming systems

Rearing cattle per household farmer is relatively in a small scale which is integrated with crops, plantation crops and horticulture (Rusdiana et al, 2019;Widarni et al, 2020). They produce a large number of basic crops by relying on natural processes, agricultural biodiversity, local resources and local knowledge for farming.…”
