This study aimed to determine whether prohibiting the division of agricultural land into too small (less than 2 Ha) parts is still practical and relevant to society’s current situation. The literature used in this study was supported by data from Land Deed Making Officials (PPAT). According to the results, the policy is no longer effective in limiting the minimum agricultural land ownership and preventing agricultural land splitting. This policy is also no longer relevant because: first, the common area of agricultural land owned by farmers is less than 05 ha; second, many residents are forced to sell their agricultural land; and third, the prohibition encourages agricultural landowners to transfer land functions. Therefore, it is time for the government to reevaluate the minimum land ownership policy and the prohibition on breaking up agricultural land, considering the conditions and developments of community needs and the existing land area.
Indonesia produces large amounts of rice. However, almost every year, rice imports are still carried out to meet the needs of food stock, and supply in several regions still needs to catch up to demand. The application of rice cultivation technology contributes to increasing the productivity of cultivated rice products with the “Jajar Legowo System” (JLS). The purpose of this study is to compare the income of JLS cultivation and conventional systems (CS). This research applied the descriptive-analytic method from the survey. The purposive method was applied deliberately in determining the location of the study by considering certain objectives. This study uses a simple random sampling techniques to collect samples from 30 JLS and CS farmers. The collected data is first compiled, described, and then analyzed by quantitative research methods, namely, taking a sample from a population using a questionnaire as a data tool. The research results showed that the application of JLS rice cultivation technology significantly increased productivity (13.62%), income (29.88%), efficiency (18.90%), and benefits for rice farmers (8.53%) compared to that CS. Rice cultivation using JLS is appropriate in Indonesia to increase farmers’ income. The application of JLS can improve farmers’ income. This technology is feasible to develop in Indonesia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
