“…(c) Increasing adaptive capacity implies enhancing the capacity of farmers to respond promptly and effectively to the effects of climate change, for instance, through the use of novel management practices and innovative technologies [12,13]. Farmer adaptive capacity is associated with increasing the options to manage climate change and with improving decision-making under uncertainty [14].…”

The concept of resilience gained traction in academic, policy, and development discourse in recent years, yet its conceptualization and application at the farm level has received little attention. For instance, recent policy recommendations present farm resilience as a silver bullet in dealing with agricultural risks and uncertainty, and in achieving sustainable agri-food systems. Yet, the question of what determines farm resilience in a smallholder farming set-up remains fuzzy. To address this knowledge gap, we firstly develop a novel conceptual framework based on determinants of farm resilience and farmer adaptive capacity as a pathway through which farm resilience is strengthened. The emphasis on adaptive capacity responds to a conceptual weakness inherent in studies that present socio-ecological systems as static systems. Secondly, based on a literature review, we propose mechanisms through which farmer entrepreneurship, membership in farmer organization, and farmer–buyer relationships may influence farmer adaptive capacity and thereby farm resilience. Based on our conceptual understanding of the determinants of farm resilience, we recommend approaches that augment farmer entrepreneurship, support farmer organizations, and strengthen farmer–buyer relationships.

Attention has shifted to the development of villages in Europe and other parts of the world with the goal of combating rural–urban migration, and moving toward self-sufficiency in rural areas. This situation has birthed the smart village idea. Smart village initiatives such as those of the European Union is motivating global efforts aimed at improving the live and livelihood of rural dwellers. These initiatives are focused on improving agricultural productivity, among other things, since most of the food we eat are grown in rural areas around the world. Nevertheless, a major challenge faced by proponents of the smart village concept is how to provide a framework for the development of the term, so that this development is tailored towards sustainability. The current work examines the level of progress of climate smart agriculture, and tries to borrow from its ideals, to develop a framework for smart village development. Given the advances in technology, agricultural development that encompasses reduction of farming losses, optimization of agricultural processes for increased yield, as well as prevention, monitoring, and early detection of plant and animal diseases, has now embraced varieties of smart sensor technologies. The implication is that the studies and results generated around the concept of climate smart agriculture can be adopted in planning of villages, and transforming them into smart villages. Hence, we argue that for effective development of the smart village framework, smart agricultural techniques must be prioritized, viz-a-viz other developmental practicalities.

Pertanian menjadi salah satu sektor perekonomian penyumbang PDB negara. Beragam potensi dan keragaman sektor pertanian menjadi potensi kekuatan untuk dikembangkan secara berkesinambungan. Akan tetapi, potensi dan keragaman sumber daya tersebut masih menghadapi berbagai kendala dan permasalahan, seperti iklim, produksi, pasca panen, serta pemasaran. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi berbagai permasalahan dan kendala dengan menggunakan pendekatan yang bersifat holistik dan partisipatif. Proses analisis dimulai dengan memvisualisasikan Big Picture Mapping pada proses produksi hulu hingga hilir untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan dan kendala memalui proses dialog dan diskusi sepanjang rantai pasok pertanian berdasarkan konsep value co-creation. Pendekatan yang digunakan untuk menggali informasi yaitu dengan metode participatory action research yang melibatkan partisipasi dari peneliti, praktisi dan pemangku kebijakan sektor pertanian. Sektor pertanian di Provinsi Jawa Barat menjadi studi kasus pada penelitian ini. Pelibatan aktor dari sektor pertanian, peternakan, perikanan, dan perkebunan, pelaku pasar dan pemerintah menjadi dasar pengembangan model smart supply chain pada sektor pertnian. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa permasalahan yang terjadi pada sektor pertanian dikarenakan tidak ada integrasi antar pelaku rantai pasok serta para pemangku kepentingan (pemerintah, pihak swasta, dan peneliti) sehingga kegiatan pembangunan dijalankan secara terpisah dan tidak dikoordinasikan dengan tepat. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, rekomendasi pengembangan pembangunan sektor pertanian dengan pengembangan smart supply chain harus dilandasi oleh koordinasi antar aktor yang dilakukan secara terintegrasi. Komponen utama pengembangan smart supply chain sektor pertanian harus melibatkan klaster, simpul pangan, dan pengembangan berbagai teknologi digital yang tepat guna. Agriculture is one of the economic sectors contributing to the country's GDP. Various potentials and diversity of the agricultural sector become the potential strength to be developed sustainably. However, the potential and diversity of these resources still face various obstacles and problems, such as climate, production, post-harvest, and marketing. According to this case, this study aims to identify various problems and obstacles using a holistic and participatory approach. The analysis process begins by visualizing the Big Picture Mapping in the upstream to downstream production processes to identify problems and obstacles through a process of dialogue and discussion throughout the agricultural supply chain based on the value co-creation concept. The approach used to dig up information is by using participatory action research methods that involve participation from researchers, practitioners and stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The agricultural sector in West Java Province is a case study in this research. The involvement of actors from the agricultural, livestock, fisheries and plantation sectors, market players and the government is the basis for developing the agricultural smart supply chain model. This research shows that the problems that occur in the agricultural sector are due to the lack of integration between supply chain actors and stakeholders (i.e., government, private sector, and researchers). The development activities are carried out separately and are not appropriately coordinated. Based on this case, recommendations for developing the agricultural sector with the development of smart supply chains must be based on coordination between actors carried out in an integrated manner. The main components of agricultural smart supply chain development should involve clusters, food hubs, and the development of various appropriate digital technologies.
