ABSTRACT

Research on technical efficiency of organic rice farming was conducted in Tampang PENDAHULUANSektor pertanian adalah sektor yang paling berdampak dengan adanya perubahan iklim, akibat bergesernya musim dan berubahnya pola curah hujan. Meningkatnya temperatur akan berdampak terhadap percepatan penguapan, baik dari tanah maupun tanaman, sehingga tanaman akan rentan terhadap kekurangan air yang pada akhirnya akan menurunkan hasil, bahkan sampai pada gagal panen.Laboratorium Iklim di Institut Pertanian Bogor menyatakan bahwa selama kurun waktu 1981-1990, setiap kabupaten di Indonesia setiap tahunnya mengalami penurunan produksi padi 100.000 ton; dan pada kurun waktu 1992-2000, jumlah penurunan ini meningkat menjadi 300.000 ton (UNDP Indonesia, 2007).Perubahan iklim merupakan proses alami yang bersifat tren yang terus menerus dalam jangka panjang. Oleh karena itu diperlukan suatu strategi untuk antisipasi dan penyiapan adaptasi dalam rangka menghadapi perubahan iklim dan mengembangkan pertanian yang tahan terhadap perubahan

The sample in this research was employees of PT. Madubaru PG-PS Madukismo in Yogyakarta using 100 respondents; the sampling technique was using simple random sampling technique. The types of data used were primary and secondary data with data collecting techniques of survey approach (questionnaire). The data analysis technique used was Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through AMOS 21 program and SPSS 23. The result of the research is that QWL does not affect the organizational commitment while job satisfaction affects the organizational commitment. The QWL and job satisfaction do not affect employees' performance, while organizational commitment affects the employees' performance. The QWL does not affect the employees' performance indirectly. Job satisfaction affects employees' performance indirectly with organizational commitment as intervening variable. The company should further enhance the employees' organizational commitment in order to higher the employees' performance.

Yellow maize for animal feed is one of potential strategic commodities to be developed in Pacitan Regency, as a marginal area. The focusing question is whether this commodity generates competitiveness. This research aims: 1) to determine the private and social profitability, 2) to analyze competitiveness through comparative and competitive advantages, 3) to discuss effects of government policies on maize farming system. Data were analyzed by using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) method. A sampling area was purposively selected, i.e. Pacitan Regency, while 102 maize farmers were proportionally selected as respondents. The research covers three seasons: rainy season I, rainy season II, and dry season. The result of analysis shows that in the rainy season II, maize farming in Pacitan generates private and social profits and competitiveness as indicated by the Private Cost Ratio (PCR) and the Domestic Resource Cost Ratio (DRCR) of less than one. The maize farming in the rainy season I and the dry season does not generate either profit or competitiveness. In general, the level of government protection of agricultural outputs is considered low but the protection of both tradable and non-tradable agricultural inputs is high. The government policy on agricultural outputs and inputs simultaneously does not protect maize farming effectively.

This research aimed to analyze trend of agricultural GDP and agricultural contribution in Indonesia, and identify the role of agricultural sector and sub sectors in provinces of Indonesia. Source of data this research use linear trend analysis to analyze trend agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and agricultural contribution. Location Quotient (LQ), Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ), and combination LQ and DLQ is used to identify the role of agricultural sector and sub sectors. The analysis found that agricultural GDP in Indonesia has increasing trend while agricultural contribution has decreasing trend. Agricultural sector is basic sector in 29 provinces in Indonesia. Farm food crop is leading sub sector in 6 provinces, farm non food crops is leading sub sector in 14 provinces, livestock is leading sub sector in 3 provinces, forestry is leading sub sector in 1 provinces, fishery is leading sub sector in 5 provinces.
