The land is one of the production factors direct influence on farming efficiency, especially due to the devision and fragmentation of land plots. The multi-dimension of land issues could bring serious impact to agricultural development goals as well as the general goals of development, i.e., the goals of production, productivity, and food crop farming efficiency, especially in rice commodities. It could also threaten the food sovereignty program. The research aims to make farming modeling to increase efficiency and effectivity in land tenure for rice farming and employed descriptive analysis. The research result shows that the existence of rice farming was dominated by the family farming system, where since production to marketing was conducted by the farmer individually. Farmers were generally have joined in a long-established farming group. The farming group played a role as a non-formal organization in receiving subsidies from the government, either production equipment or agricultural machinery subsidies. Further, farming managed to incorporate reduced farming land devision and fragmentation as well as governed the varied land tenure systems. The management of agricultural land tenure systems through the Small Scale Corporate Farming (SSCF) model improved farming efficiency in terms of agricultural production equipment, machinery, and labor utilization. In addition, it also improved the effectiveness of the subsidy program and farming protection.

Brown sugar produced from sugarcane is a promising business for small-scale farmers, which can create employment, improve farmers’ incomes, and contribute to land conservation with the use of appropriate technology. The potential is explored through the utilization of marginal land to cultivate sugarcane and to create value-added from producing brown sugarcane. By using a case study in Wajo District, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, the results show that the investment value of brown sugar processing unit is varied between IDR 75 and 750 million with milling capacity 7-50 TCD (tons of cane day) or equivalent to IDR 3-5 million per hectare and sugarcane plantation investment IDR 4-7 million per hectare. Additionally, sugarcane farming is able to create two job opportunities per hectare, one person in the plantation and one person in the processing unit. The gross value of brown sugar production is around IDR 42-90 million/hectare, with a 10 percent brown sugarcane conversion factor and 60-90 tons of cane per hectare.
