The objective of this research was to formulate a policy strategy for integrated pest management by using SWOT AHP methods (case study on vegetable cultivation in Lampung Province). This method used A’WOT; the combination of AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) analysis and SWOT (Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat) analysis. The analysis result showed the main strength factors becoming the base for sustainable agricultural business were the availability of good structures and infrastructures both in production and marketing, and the availability of sufficient production structure (seeds) with good quality and quantity. The weakness factors becoming concern were dominantly lack of institutional funding (capital) for vegetable business, many problems in the integrated pest management (IPM) technology implementation stage, many problems in good agriculture practices (GAP), and numbers of families making their life as farmers. The opportunity factors were the availability of IPM and GAP technologies, growing campaign for consuming domestic products reducing import, and high government commitment to improve vegetable farmers’ welfare. The threats to concern were no protection operational base and farmer’s empowerment, very few institutional funding (capital) for vegetable business, and many problems in the GAP and technology implementation. Six strategies becoming priority in order were drafting the regulation and standard of operation that regulate IPM and GAP implementations; strengthening farmer’ institution, capital and agricultural insurance; drafting legality of operational protection and farmer’s empowerment; agricultural intensification in order to improve quantity, quality, safety, and environmental insight for food security and independency; optimization of technology transfer by socialization or education of IPM and GAP for vegetable crops; and inexpensive IPM system based controlling technology development and effective and efficient of alternative production structures.
The purpose of this study was to develop a dynamic model of sustainable farming based on an integrated pest management system in upland vegetable crops in Tanggamus Regency, Lampung Province. Dynamic system analysis with powersim with the stages of model development, namely needs analysis, problem formulation, system identification, model simulation, and model testing. The results of the compilation of the dynamic model parameters, namely the current scenario (without intervention), in 2017 farmer households amounted to 104,929 households which increased in 2030 to 128,613 households farmers' income at the end of the simulation period to Rp 434,526,807 from a land area of 4,029 ha, scenario pessimistic in 2017 farmer households amounted to 100,753 households which experienced an increase in 2030 to 116,252 households with income in this scenario to Rp 470,170,405 from a land area of 4,243 ha, and an optimistic scenario for 2017 farmers' households amounting to 100,111 households that had increased in the year 2030 became 107,892 households with total farmer's income of Rp 508,916,172 on an area of 4,464 ha.
