“…The results of research from Mao et al (2021) explain that farmers' age, education, experience, and land area are characteristics of farmers who play a role in rice production through farmer groups. Furthermore, the results of research from Suchá and Dušková (2022) concluded that the characteristics of group members can directly determine the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of farmers in collaborating to manage farming in farmer groups. Soekarwati (2005) in her theory explained that the younger the age farmers usually have the spirit to want to know what they do not know, so they try to adopt an innovation faster, even though they are actually not experienced in the matter of adopting the innovation and this needs to be supported by the area of farmland, because if the area of land cultivated is large, then the resulting production will be high.…”

The increased rice production can be realized through the role of farmer groups as a forum for farmers to plan and carry out rice farming every planting season. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the role of farmer groups in increasing rice production, and analyze how much influence these factors have on the role of farmer groups. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method. The sampling technique was carried out purposively using the Random Sampling technique, namely by taking 25% of the total population of 280 farmer group members so that the sample results were 70 people. The data of this research are primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through interviews using questionnaires with members of farmer groups, while secondary data were sourced from the relevant agencies. The data obtained were then analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis consisting of the F test and t test. The results showed that the factors of motivation, independence, and characteristics of the members of the farmer groups influenced the role of farmer groups in increasing rice production with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 60.1%. Meaning that the influence of other factors outside this study was only 39.9%. Keywords: Characteristics, farmers, motivation, production, rice, role, self-reliance

“…These questions raise important social justice challenges of the sort examined in relation to other forms of urban agriculture (e.g. Horst et al, 2017; Suchá and Dušková, 2022). Further work is also needed on CEA’s socio-technical characteristics – the relations between users, labour, residents and CEA systems as workplaces, neighbours or even home based applications, linking to wider infrastructure questions about people as infrastructure, glitches and hacks (e.g.…”

The urbanisation of controlled environment agriculture: Why does it matter for urban studies?

This paper critically examines why urban studies should be interested in the emergence of controlled environment agriculture. Over the last decade, there has been significant commercial and urban policy interest in controlled environment agriculture systems for producing food in enclosed environments. Furthermore, there has been a significant expansion in research publications on urban controlled environment agriculture, stressing the novel character of these systems and the complex relationships with the conventional concerns of urban agriculture. The paper subjects these claims to critical scrutiny and then reconceptualises urban controlled environment agriculture as an emergent urban infrastructure of artificial, highly productive microclimates and ecosystems for non-human life designed to increase the productive use of ‘surplus or under-utilised’ urban spaces. We argue that controlled environment agriculture tries to secure food production through three spatial–temporal fixes: (1) the enclosure move – holding food closer by substituting the increasingly hostile outdoors for the controlled indoors in order to optimise yield, quality, efficiency and the ‘cleanness’ of the food; (2) the urban move – holding food closer to the city by substituting rural agricultural space for urban space to shorten supply chains and thereby help secure food production and improve its green credentials; and (3) combining 1 and 2, the urban interiorisation move – holding food yet closer still by moving food production into city buildings and intricate infrastructural systems, increasing control by securing total environments. In these ways, the paper shows how urban controlled environment agriculture selectively extends existing logics of urban and rural agriculture and identifies the future research challenges for urban studies.

“…A land certificate is a legal document that provides certainty and protection of land ownership or use rights. The certificate indicates that the community has managed the land by applicable terms and conditions (Suchá and Dušková, 2022). Hal demikian juga pernah terjadi di beberapa kawasan hutan di Indonesia.…”

Soeharto Forest Park is a forest area located in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Soeharto Forest Park has an area of about 61,840 hectares and is one of the critical forest areas in Indonesia. Soeharto Forest Park primarily serves as a conservation area and nature preservation. It contains high biodiversity, including various species of flora and fauna that are protected. The research methods involve field surveys, structured interviews, and secondary data analysis. Data was collected to understand community land tenure, including tenure rights, land use, and agricultural practices. In addition, deforestation impacts are identified through mapping land cover change and vegetation density analysis. It is just that over time, the connection of the surrounding community with Soeharto Forest Park is very high. Many people use the Forest Park area to become open land. This lasted from 1957 until 2022. The total land area of Soeharto Forest Park that has been opened is 335,994 m2 or 33,6 hectares. Many communities on the outskirts of Soeharto Forest Park that cleared land and used it as settlements, plantations, and rice fields from 1957 to 2022 highlights the deforestation in land use around the area over a long period. These changes reflect social, economic, and policy dynamics that affect local communities and the surrounding environment.
