Land conversion causes competition in land use, and thus it is necessary to select leading commodities based on agro ecological zoning (AEZ). This study aimed to determine the leading commodities of food crops in Bantul Regency agro ecological zone. This study was conducted on March 2015. The data used was time series data of food crops harvested between 2008-2012 and agricultural commodities zone maps year 2013 based on AEZ with scale 1:50.000 obtained from the Statistics of Indonesia, Agriculture and Forestry Office, and AIAT. Commodities with comparative advantages were analysed by Location Quotient (LQ) while commodities with competitive advantages were analysed by Shift Share Analysis (SSA). Leading food crops commodities were determined through an overlay process using the ArcGIS software covering analysis results of LQ, SSA and agricultural commodities zone maps based on AEZ with scale 1:50.000. The result showed that the wetland paddy is a leading commodity in the study area. Based on comparative and competitive advantages, and compatibility with agricultural commodities zone based on AEZ, wetland paddy is the most leading commodity compared to corn, soybeans and peanuts. It is because of the distribution of this commodity in 10 districts (Sanden, Kretek, Pundong, Bambanglipuro, Pandak, Bantul, Jetis, Banguntapan, Kasihan, and Sedayu) with total area of 11,667 ha or 39.4% of agricultural land in Bantul Regency

<p>Konversi lahan pertanian di Kabupaten Bantul tinggi, produktivitas dan luas panen tanaman pangan cenderung mengalami penurunan, sehingga perlu diidentifikasi strategi pembangunannya yang sesuai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) mengidentifikasi kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang, dan ancaman pembangunan pertanian, dan (2) menyusun strategi pembangunan pertanian di Kabupaten Bantul. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Juli-Agustus tahun 2015. Faktor kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang, dan ancaman dianalisis secara deskriptif. Penyusunan strategi pembangunan pertanian menggunakan pendekatan A’WOT. A’WOT merupakan penggabungan Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) dengan metode Strenghts, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT). Hasil penelitian<br />memperlihatkan bahwa faktor yang menjadi kekuatan utama dalam pembangunan pertanian adalah aksesibilitas dan infrastruktur yang baik, kelemahan utamanya adalah posisi tawar petani rendah, peluang utamanya adalah frekuensi penyuluhan yang tinggi, dan ancaman utamanya adalah harga input produksi meningkat. Prioritas utama strategi pembangunan pertanian di Kabupaten Bantul adalah dengan membudidayakan komoditas unggulan, yaitu padi sawah, jagung, kedelai, kacang tanah dan meningkatkan kapasitas dan frekuensi penyuluhan dengan melibatkan kelompok tani.</p><p>ABSTRACT</p><p>Agricultural Development Strategy with A’WOT Approach in Bantul District. Agricultural land conversion in Bantul District is high, while crops productivity and harvested area tend to decrease; therefore it is necessary to identify appropriate development strategies. The purposes of this study were (1) to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of agricultural development and (2) to generate agricultural development strategy in Bantul District. The study was conducted in Bantul District from July to August 2015. Factors of strengths,weaknesses, opportunities and threats were analyzed descriptively. The strategy formulation for agricultural development used A'WOT approach. A'WOT is an incorporation between Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Strenghts, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT). The result revealed that in agricultural development the main factors of strengths were accessibility and good infrastructure whereas the main weakness was low bargaining position<br />of farmers. Meanwhile the main opportunity was a high frequency of farming extension whilst the main threat was the increasing of inputs price. The main priority of agricultural development strategy in Bantul was by cultivating leading commodities namely wetland paddy, corn, soybean, peanut, and increasing the capacity and frequency of extension by involving farmer groups.</p>

Peristiwa kebakaran merupakan kejadian yang sangat umum terjadi, banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi, di antaranya ialah; hubung pendek arus listrik, kebocoran gas, putung rokok. Kebakaran yang terjadi pasti akan berujung pada kerugian baik itu kerugian materil maupun korban jiwa. Pencegahan sejak dini sangat diperlukan yaitu dengan penerapa sitem pendeteksi kebakaran atau alarm kebakaran. Rancangan alat pendeteksi kebakaran terdiri dari flame sensor sebagai pendeteksi api, sensor MQ-2 sebagai mendeteksi adanya asap dalam ruangan. Serta dilengkapi dengan mikrokontroler Arduino. Berdasarkan kedua sensor indikator kebakaran ini akan ditampilkan melalui LCD dan apabila terjadi kebakaran akan di iringi dengan suara peringatan dari buzzer. Uji coba sistem terlebih dahulu melalui software proteus 8 profesional dengan tujuan membangun suatu alat pendeteksi kebakaran secara otomatis menggunakan flame sensor dan sensor asap MQ2, yang dilengkapi dengan LCD LM016L berbasis mikrokontroller arduino. Hailnya mampu memberikan gambara kepada kalayak umum bagaimana sistem kerja dari alat pendeteksi kebakaran/ alarm kebakaran yang dapat di representasikan memalui software proteus.

This study aims to analyze the farming feasibility, the increase in net profit and the scale of farming of wetland paddy as a leading commodity according to agro ecological zones (AEZ). The study was conducted at the location of the wetland paddy as a leading commodity and non leading commodity Bantul Regency in 2015. The feasibility of farming is analyzed using revenue and cost ratio (R/C), the increase in profits is analyzed by an increase in net profit (NKB) and the scale of farming is analyzed by determining the break even point of production (TIP) or break even point of price (TIH). The results showed that wetland paddy farming as a leading commodity according to agro ecological zones in Bantul is feasible and more optimal (R/C 2.17) than the non leading commodity (R/C 1.99). Wetland paddy farming as a leading commodity according to agro ecological zones can raise the net profit (NKB 1.13). Wetland paddy farming as a leading commodity according to agro ecological zones can be profitable if the production is at least 2,729 kg/ha or the price is at least Rp. 1,643/kg.

The increasingly widespread of the Covid-19 virus in various countries worldwide has suppressed global economic growth, including Indonesia. The pandemic also impacts on agricultural sector especially on food production, distribution, consumption, and potential for a food crisis. The agricultural sector is the last sector that can withstand any shock. This paper aims to bring information impacts the Covid-19 outbreak has on the agricultural sector, and propose strategies and action for the Indonesia Government in maintaining the stability of the agricultural sector during and after Covid-19. This study uses a qualitative descriptive analysis by describing the phenomena that occurred in the agricultural sector as an impact of Covid-19. The increasing spread of the Covid-19 outbreak has led to a decline in the performance of the agricultural sector. Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on reducing production by 5% due to distraction on the distribution but at the same time, food needs have increased by 5% due to panic buying and decreased import by 5% due to limiting exports. In addition, it also affects the food supply chain, and the threat of food insecurity due to the spread of Covid-19 to villages that are food producers and an increase in unemployment. Therefore Reorienting policy and programs in agriculture and ensuring availability of facilities and assistance for stability stock and the price is required.
