Climate disasters pose a risk to residents’ well-being globally. However, information about the impact of climate disasters among urban and rural residents remains lacking, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to fill the gap by investigating the impact of climate disaster on subjective well-being based on urban and rural typology model. The data were cross-sectional, involving 7110 Indonesian residents who had experienced climate disasters, 3813 from urban areas and 3297 from rural areas. An ordered probit model was employed to estimate the impact of climate disasters on subjective well-being (i.e., happiness and life satisfaction). In general, the empirical results show that climate disasters do not significantly affect the happiness of Indonesian residents, but they significantly and negatively impact their life satisfaction. Further analysis reveals that climate disasters impact urban and rural residents differently. The subjective well-being of rural residents is more severely affected than those living in urban areas. Further estimation also indicated that climate disaster significantly reduces residents’ subjective well-being at the lowest income level for both rural and urban residents. Our finding confirms that rural residents remain the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

The growth of the Indonesian population has led to an increase in the demand for rice, which the country has yet to satisfy. Indonesia needs a comprehensive strategy that integrates meaningful efforts to increase its agricultural production. This study aims to review the examined trends in rice yield in Indonesia for 70 years after Indonesia’s independence (1945–2016) followed by the identification of the application technology and factors that contribute to increasing rice yields to forecast sustainable food security scenarios up to 2030. This article reviews the results of research on rice production technology in Indonesia from 1945 to 2016, and the outlook for 2030. This paper examines the main points of the Indonesian transformation of rice technology: improvement of rice varieties, integrated crop management, innovations in agricultural machinery, and the Integrated Cropping Calendar Information System (ICCIS). We found that transformation has helped Indonesia increased its rice yields from 3 t ha−1 prior to 1961 to 4.6 t ha−1 in 1985, stagnated in 1990, and increased again in 2017 to 5,46 t ha−1. The increase in yield was sustained by an increase in the harvested area owing to cropping index (CI) innovation. Food security and sustainable development remain the primary goals of Indonesia’s agricultural sector. The application of appropriate technologies and institutional innovations can assist Indonesia in achieving its food security. Therefore, the transformation of technological innovations will continue to be an essential driver of future agricultural growth, including greater use of crop varieties, machinery, and land/institutional reforms.

Technology Feasibility of Fermented Feed in Fattening of Batur Sheep. Technical and economic feasibility analysis of complete feed fermented with Local Micro Organisms (LMO) in Batur Village, Batur District, Banjarnegara Regency in 2016 was carried out on 21 male Batur sheep aged of 6 months. The sheep intial weight was 25-30 kg. They were grouped into 3 treatments, each of which was received complete feed containing LMO 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.7%. Control treatment used 7 sheep which were kept under local farmer management. Obseravtion was carried out for 3 months. The data collected were financial input and output based on performance of the sheep. Production inputs were for operational of livestock, feed, labor, cage rental, medicine and so on. The production output were financial values of weight gain, livestock manure, wool and urine. Technical feasibility analysis used was the B / C ratio approach. The results showed that the use of complete feed fermented with 0.7% LMO in fattening Batur Sheep, was the best compared to the use of complete feed fermented with 0.3% and 0.5 % LMO.

Climate change has been affecting agricultural water resources dynamics spatially and temporally. This article presents analysis results of climate change impact on agricultural water availability in Cimanuk Watershed, Indonesia. STREAM was utilized to model agricultural water availability through FAO MOSAICC web application. Climate spatial data time-series were generated using 3 Global Climate Model (GCM), i.e.,: CanESM2, CNRM-CM5, and MPI-ESM-MR following two climate change scenarios of RCP4.5 and 8.5. Model inputs were split into three periods of 1981–2010 (historical), 2010–2039 (near-future), and 2040–2069 (far-future). Historical data model validation showed the efficiency coefficient of the observed and simulated discharge data ratio was 0.68. The results showed a decreasing volumetric water availability from all generated climate data and scenarios, identified by comparing the discharge normal distribution of the historical and future data periods. Whereas, trend analysis of RCP4.5 scenario showed increasing maximum discharge of Cimanuk river using CanESM2 and MPI-ESM-MR GCM’s data, with a Mann–Kendall coefficient of 3.23 and 3.57. These results indicate a different agricultural water balance status within the watershed area, particularly a “very critical” water balance in Indramayu and Majalengka, “critical” in Garut, and “close to critical” in Sumedang Regency.

The study was conducted from April 2019 to Maret 2020 in a community forest in the village of Karang Kembang, Tunjungan district, Blora. The objective of the research was to characterize the morphology of Durian Monthok from Blora. The research directly developed the morphological characters of such durian from Blora. Description format durian plants have been arranged in the form of standard blanks. The results showed that Durian Monthok had a greyed-orange flower (163C), moderate yellow (161A) skin, weight rate of 1, 877-2,172 kg. It was also determined that Durian Monthok had an oblong fruit shape, light greenish-yellow (8C) flesh, fluffier sweet taste, and had a fragrant aroma.
