“…The support of the government, stakeholders, NGOs, and the community is needed to provide training outside the village (Cawley, 2009;Chen and Scott, 2013;Nair, 2014). The training can take the form of visits to other agropolitan villages, home industry areas, and related agencies.…”

Studies on sustaniable developemnt show that agropolitan area is one of the urban development concepts that distinctivelu offers a design for sustainable developlemt for planning. The concept of agropolitan area offers a way to fill in the gap of capital flow gap between cities and villages. However, detailed analysis of the variety of sustainability is necesary to examine dimensions of sustanibility. Taking the case of an Angropolitan project in the Sendang villange of Tulungangung East Java), this study aims to identify the level of the sustainability of Agropolitan management. In assessing the level of sustainability, this study employs the method of Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). The framework of sustainable livelihoods is divided into five components of capital : human, natural, physical, financial, and social. The sustainability analysis is carried out by using the Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) approach with Rapid Appraisal Techniques for Fisheries (Rap-fish). Based on Rapfish result, we obtain an index value of capitals : human (54.63%), natural (58,34%), financial (31.55%), physical (22.13%), and social (56.41%). Human, natural, and social capital are categorized as quite sustainable. Financial and physycal aspects appear less sustainable than other aspects. In general, the status of sustainability in the management of the Sendang Agropolitan is quite sufficient.

“…Cooperatives arose in China in the 1980s and began to grow rapidly after the implementation of the “Law on Farmer Specialized Cooperatives” in 2007, which created new ways for farmers to do business with their buyers (Chen & Scott, ). Cooperatives are expected to provide individual farmers with high‐quality input, market information, and assistance with new technologies to help them address problems of small‐scale production challenges, food safety, pesticide residue testing, and supervision during production (Song, Qi, Zhang, & Vernooy, ; Zheng, Wang, & Awokuse, ).…”

This paper focuses on the impact of business relationships on safe production behavior by farmers in China. Data collected from 410 vegetable farmers were used with a propensity score matching model for estimating. We found that the co-operative membership without marketing transactions had no significant effect on whether farmers had vegetable certification, whereas the membership did positively affect farmers' attention to pesticide toxicity and the application of soil-testing results to fertilization compared with farmers who participated in market exchanges. These results show that farmers who participate in co-operative membership with marketing transactions are more likely to own certifications, attend to toxicity and apply soil-testing results. We also found that contract farming has a positive effect on whether farmers have certification, whereas no significant effect was observed on the attention paid to toxicity and the application of soil-testing results.

“…Of course, the service supply effect of cooperatives is highly correlated with product characteristic, quality of members, operating conditions and the institutional environment [49]. In China, although the authorities have planed a favorable institutional environment for further development of cooperatives, cooperatives also face great challenges including limited access to land and capital, a massive loss of laborers, low market competitiveness, weak internal management, and low quality of farmers' cooperation [50].…”

As an important part of the sustainable development of agriculture in China, cooperatives have become a hot topic. However, previous literature has mixed results on the relationship between quantity growth and service supply effect of cooperatives. By conducting multiple correspondence analysis, descriptive statistics, and Pearson’s chi-square test on survey data of 785 farmers, this paper aims to describe the characteristics of cooperatives’ members and evaluate the current state of cooperatives’ service supply from a demand-supply perspective. The results of the survey show that male, middle-aged, and middle-class farmers or farmers who plant local optimal crops are more likely to become the members of cooperatives. There is a huge gap between service supply and demand of farmers; cooperatives have a positive effect on reducing the degree of service demand. This effect is only significant when concerning sale, pest control, and mechanization. On the whole, there is a weak correlative relationship between the current service supply of cooperatives and the service demand of farmers in China.
