Abstract Fresh taro and its processed products have been produced in Bogor for decades. It has become a popular commodity from this city and evoked an image of Bogor. The essential component of this issue is the sustainability of taro farming, and farmers are the major preserver who has primary decision-making in agricultural management. It assumes there were unusual agricultural practices that promote the long-term viability of taro cultivation. Farmers’ consideration of taro cultivation and their on-farm activities were observed, and the impacted-on sustainability was studied. We surveyed 30 taro farmers in 8 districts Bogor with a rapid rural appraisal and field observation to validate the obtained data and plant diversity analysis. The result showed that taro has provided more income for farmers, and they prefer an intercropping approach in taro farming. Seed availability was the main consideration of farmers in cultivating this plant consistently for a long time. The seed rotation by seed sharing between farmer’s communities was the mechanism of seed exchange and spread of taro cultivars. There was also found the diversity of taro that divided into three groups similarities and simply to distinguish by the plant stature, color of petioles and corms cross-section.

Abstract The rate of world population growth gets faster every year, while on the other hand the land available for food production activities is increasingly limited. Efforts to increase income and food crop production by using cocoa farming to support national food security can be done by optimizing of land through crop diversification patterns by planting local tubers under cocoa farming. This research aims to analyze the optimization of land use, revenue and production costs. In addition, analyzing the nutritional content contained in each type of local tubers, namely sweet potato, cassava and taro. The research was conducted in the the buffer zone of Lore Lindu National Park (TNLL), Palolo District, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The results showed that the optimization of land use and revenue was obtained through the diversification pattern of sweet potato and cocoa. Optimization of the costs use occurs in the use of fertilizer production inputs. In addition, sweet potatoes have a higher calorific value, protein and fat compared to cassava and taro. However, the carbohydrate content of cassava is higher than that of sweet potato and taro.

The productivity of community forests is still low when measured on an annual average. It is caused by exploitation that still relies on wood products. Therefore, developing agricultural commodities with high economic value could be a solution to increasing the productivity of community forests. This research aimed to analyse the potential of taro beneng to increase the productivity of community forests and how much land has the potential for its development. We conducted surveys and interviews with two key informants (head of the beneng-taro farming group in Sukamaju Village and Kutawaringin Village, Ciamis Regency) and literature studies from various sources on the internet. A spatial analysis was conducted to calculate the potential land area for developing beneng taro in community forests. The results of this study showed that beneng taro has the potential to be developed in community forest land because it is shade-tolerant, easy to cultivate, has a high production of tubers and leaves, and has export opportunities. The total area of land that has the potential for developing taro beneng in Ciamis Regency reaches 35,260.05 ha, consisting of categories from moderately suitable to highly suitable, spread across 26 sub-districts.

The effect of diets with nonconventional forage resources, balu (Erythrina edulis) and giant taro (Alocasia macrorrhiza) was evaluated, on production parameters of New Zealand white rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) under family farming production, in Silvania (Cundinamarca, Colombia). 36 weaned rabbits of 35 days old were used. They were distributed in 4 treatments (substitution of commercial pellets by giant taro leaves flour 25% (Giant taro), balu 25% (Balu); their mixture, giant taro 12.5% and balu 12.5% (GB), and a control with commercial pellets) with three repetitions each. Variables evaluated: initial weight at 35 days old, daily weight gain, consumption, feed conversion and final weight at 85 days old, carcass yield, haunch, loin and meat. Data was analyzed by Tukey multiple comparison test at 5% significance level, variance homogeneity and error independence verified by means of Shapiro-Wilks, Levene and Durbin-Watson tests, respectively, by R program. No significant differences were found in the final weight, on weeks 5 and 6, which registered significant differences (p<0.05), for giant taro (1771.85±88.21 AB), control (1933.06±88.20 B), giant taro (1935.05±91.26 AB), control (2144.42±91.26 B) respectively. Daily weight gain showed significant differences (p<0.05) at week 5 for giant taro (33.56±2.82 AB); control (.37±2.825 B). Significant differences were showed by most zootechnical variables (p<0.05). The results showed that diets with nonconventional forage resources (balu and giant taro) are a viable alternative for animal feeding, due to their high nutritional content and as a by-product of commercial interest for rural families in areas of the middle Colombian tropics.

Full textAbstract:
The maintenance and utilization of crop is important to ensure food security. To this effect a survey was conducted at Dalbo Watershed, Soddo district of Wolaita Zone, to describe and analyze the indigenous production methods. The survey was conducted in the selected villages of Dalbo Watershed namely; Dalbo Atwaro and Dalbo Wogene during the months of July, August and September 2006, thirty households from the two villages, among those who own taro crop were selected. A purposive systematic sampling technique is used. Method of data collection included individual interviews using structured questionnaire. Results of the study showed that taro farming at Dalbo Watershed was characterized by smallholdings with average family size of 6.96 people per household, average total farm size of 0.771 ha, and with an average farm size under taro production of 0.42 ha. A total of eight named taro cultivars were recorded on-farm. The number of cultivars maintained on individual farms ranged from one to eight (mean 3.08) and farmers decision regarding land use and number of taro cultivars to plant was influenced by the size of farm land, labour/household size, maturity, yield, taste and palatability of a particular cultivar. Local farmers recognized two categories of taro based on the ‘sex’ of the cultivars: “male” and “female” taro. Female taro mature early, are less vigorous, provide tasty and palatable corms as opposed to male taro. Most of the farmers had grown taro for more than ten years as a backyard crop, both for consumption and sale. Land preparation begins in November and most farmers plant taro in January. Harvesting usually begin ten months after planting, with majority of farmers harvest the yield between December to January. Farmers cited land shortage, shortage of capital, lack of oxen and improved farm implements and few others as the main constraints for taro production in the study area.

Taro (Colocasia esculenta L. cv. Pontianak) is a popular and widely cultivated cultivar in the Indonesian farming community. In taro Pontianak, manipulating the ploidy level by chromosome doubling can enhance its genetic diversity. The latest study aimed to evaluate the oryzalin-induced polyploid taro cv. Pontianak compared with its diploid in terms of growth, anatomical, cytological, morphological, and agronomic traits in the greenhouse and the field. In vitro shoots of taro cv. Pontianak were soaked using a liquid medium supplemented with oryzalin with a concentration of 30 and 60 μM for one day. After five times of subcultures, flow cytometry analysis proceeded to determine their ploidy levels. The diploid (2n = 2x) and tetraploid (2n = 4x) plantlets were then acclimatized in the greenhouse for six to eight weeks and hardened for two months before planting in the field for 10 months. Squashing the root tip to ensure the ploidy levels of taro seedlings helped measure the chromosome numbers. Observing the growth, anatomical, and agronomic traits of diploid and tetraploid plants occurred during the hardening process until harvest time. The 30 μM oryzalin treatment produced tetraploid and mixoploid shoots; none from the 60 μM treatment. Oryzalininduced tetraploid taro exhibited some morphological characteristics of tetraploid plants, such as, longer stomata size and low density. Tubers of tetraploid plants tended to have increased protein, ash, and water content compared with their diploid counterpart. However, tetraploid taro showed a slower growth rate both in the greenhouse and the field. Additionally, it gave lower yields than diploids in some agronomic characteristics, including delayed flowering time, lower plant fresh weight, and smaller tubers. This study provides information that oryzalin-induced tetraploid taro could exhibit increasing and decreasing nutritional-agronomic traits (as mentioned above) compared with its diploid.

Increases in population size are associated with the adoption of Neolithic agricultural practices in many areas of the world, but rapid population growth within the Dingsishan cultural group of southern China pre-dated the arrival of rice and millet farming in this area. In this article, the authors identify starch grains from taros (Colocasia) and yams (Dioscorea) in dental calculus and on food-processing tools from the Dingsishan sites of Huiyaotian and Liyupo (c. 9030–6741 BP). They conclude that the harvesting and processing of these dietary staples supported an Early Holocene population increase in southern East Asia, before the spread of rice and millet farming.

Full textAbstract:
Seasonal food shortage is amongst the principal problems of farmers in mid-altitude areas of Southern Ethiopia. Taro and sweet potato are important part of food security packages in some of the world’s poorest nations. Taro is grown over a wide range of environments from 1,300-2,300m.a.s.l.; mostly by the resource poor farmers and the drought area. Its compatibility with various types of limited in put farming systems (versatility) and reliability under conditions such as drought, high rain fall, disease resistance and low soil fertility have made it attractive crop to farmers. There is no recommended fertilizer rate of taros so far demonstrated and popularized to farmers, and hence this pre extension demonstration of fertilizer rate in Boloso-1 was carried out to develop high yielding taro for the area. The research was carried out in Boloso sore woreda of Wolaita zone and two kebeles were selected which are Dubo and Gara Godo respectively in 2018. There were significant difference exists among the urea applied and non-applied Boloso-1 and Boloso-1 with urea application is recommended in the Boloso sore and in similar agro ecology.From the results of the treatment it was observed that farmers show great interest towards the Boloso-1 with urea application on top of the Boloso-1 applied without urea.

Full textAbstract:
Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a popular freshwater fish with promising development prospects due to its clean white flesh, high nutritional content, and affordability. However, feed costs in tilapia farming pose challenges, particularly with rising prices of fish meal, the primary protein source. Maggot (Hermetia illucens) and taro leaves (Colocasia esculenta) offer an alternative protein source for tilapia feed due to their high protein content. This study, conducted over 30 days in Marga Agung Village, South Lampung, tested the effects of different feed mixtures using a completely randomized design (RAL) with 4 treatments and 3 repetitions. The study involved 120 tilapia, evaluating parameters such as weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), absolute length, feed conversion ratio (FCR), temperature, and pond clarity. Data analysis via ANOVA and Duncan's test showed the highest results in the control group (P0), with an average weight of 8.43g, an SGR of 28%, and an FCR of 1.42. Treatment P2 (50% maggot and 50% taro leaves) produced comparable results, with an average weight of 8.09g, an SGR of 27%, and an FCR of 1.44. Environmental conditions remained stable across treatments, with pH and water clarity showing minimal variation. These results suggest that a 50% maggot and 50% taro leaf mixture could be a viable alternative to fish meal for tilapia feed without significant differences in growth performance compared to the control.

Agriculture is a sector characterized by uncertainty and high risk. One of the government policies aimed at mitigating this risk is the farm insurance program. Karangsari Village in Kembaran is one of the areas that actively implements this program. However, participation in farm insurance in Karangsari Village is not optimal. This study aims to analyze the influence of age, education, farmers' activeness in groups, farming experience, land area, and land ownership status on participation in farm insurance. These characteristics are considered distinguishing variables that are thought to affect farmer participation. The samples for this study were determined using Taro Yamane. The analysis method employed is logistic regression to assess how age, education, farmers' activeness in groups, farming experience, land area, and land ownership status impact participation in farm insurance. The results showed that age, education, and farming experience did not have a significant effect on farmers' participation in farm insurance, while farmers' activeness in groups, land area, and land ownership status did have a significant effect. In this context, farmers with potential agricultural assets are more likely to participate in farm insurance.

Araceae is a plant family known as taro with a high level of diversity and is easily found by the public. Beneng taro (Xanthosoma undipes) is a plant in the Araceae family that is included in the local food commodities originating from Banten Province, especially in the Mount Karang. Soil insects are a type of insects that have an essential role in the food cycle, which supports the weathering process of organic material to have a positive influence on the physical and chemical properties of soil. The diversity of soil insects on taro beneng plants in Cinyurup Village is essential to be known to open up new opportunities for understanding their ecological benefits related to agricultural sustainability and biodiversity conservation. This research aims to determine soil insects and their role in the beneng taro cultivation area and to determine the diversity index of soil insects in the area. This research was carried out in February-March in Cinyurup Village, Karang Tanjung District, Pandeglang Regency. This research includes quantitative descriptive research with an exploratory method. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling using the pitfall trap technique. The samples in this research are all ground insects trapped in pitfall traps. Trapped samples were identified based on their role and the calculated diversity index of the Shannon-Wiener method, which can facilitate the analysis of information about the type of individual and the number in an area. The identification results showed that there were 252 insects belonging to 6 families, namely Formicidae, Gryllidae, Tetrigidae, Scarabaeidae, Anisolabidae, and Muscidae. Formicidae and Scarabaeidae are land insects found in abundance due to the farming system based on the cultivation of wire that supports their survival. The diversity index value was obtained at 1.03064 which is included in the medium category. The insects found have varied roles, namely predators (Formicidae, Anisolabidae), herbivores (Gryllidae, Tetrigidae), pollinators (Formicidae, Muscidae), and decomposers (Scarabaeidae).

Full textAbstract:
Traditional farming systems are a form of long-term interaction between humans and their environment that manifests ecological and cultural adaptation. This study aims to explore the dynamics between the preservation of local knowledge and the pressures of modernization in the transformation of traditional farming systems of indigenous peoples in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua. Using an ethno-science approach with qualitative-descriptive methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, FGDs, and documentation studies in the Moskona, Wamesa, and Sumuri indigenous communities. The results of the study indicate that traditional farming systems are still maintained with high dependence on sago (85%), sweet potatoes (72%), taro (66%), and bananas (54%) as sources of food and cultural identity. The transformation of the farming system does not follow a linear pattern from traditional to modern, but rather creates a hybrid system that selectively combines traditional elements with modern technology. Indigenous peoples are not passive in facing change, but actively negotiate and adapt based on their ecological and cultural interests. The ethno-science approach offers a framework for integrating local knowledge into development planning, without ignoring the ecological and spiritual dimensions of indigenous peoples. Dialogue between local knowledge systems and modern science can produce more adaptive and inclusive agricultural policies, especially in indigenous areas such as Teluk Bintuni that face pressure from natural resource exploitation.

The study evaluated the Farming Skills Acquisition Programme of Adamawa State Government, using a survey research design. The population of the study comprised of 50 trainers and 1,367 trainees. A systematic random sampling technique, using Taro Yamane formular was used to obtain a sample of 44 trainers and 309 trainees. The study collected data using a structured questionnaire, data collected was analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while the z-Test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed that facilities were available, adequate and functional at Farming Skills Acquisition Centers, time allocated for training and training duration were adequate, objectives of Farming Skills Acquisition Programme were being achieved and graduates of FSAP established and engaged in agricultural businesses. Z-Test analysis showed no significant difference between the mean responses of trainees and trainers on availability of facilities for the operation of FSAP, adequacy of training duration and graduates rate of establishing and engaging in agricultural businesses. However, the z-Test showed a significant difference between the mean responses of trainers and trainees on the extent of achievement of the objectives of FSAP. The study recommended that Government and non-governmental organizations should cooperate with the farming skills acquisition centres in the area of skill training and manpower development; farming skills acquisition programme should be adopted and implemented by other states in Nigeria to reduce the rate of unemployment and government should make nonfunctional FSACs to be functional through renovation and funding.

In pre-contact Hawai‘i, large and intensive rainfed agricultural systems were established only where ongoing weathering of basalt-derived minerals could provide a sustained source of nutrients to crop plants. We demonstrated that the high-elevation, high- rainfall boundary of the Leeward Kohala Field System corresponded to a well-defined threshold in soil fertility, above which soils were acidic and infertile and rock weathering was depleted as a source of biological nutrients. The single most reliable indicator of this boundary was the concentration of exchangeable Ca in soil; rainfed agricultural infrastructure was absent where exchangeable Ca was below ~10 meq/100 g of soil. However, irrigated taro pondfields frequently were developed in windward valleys in soils with <10 meq/100 g exchangeable Ca. In these areas, irrigation water brought a sustained supply of basalt-derived nutrients to pondfields; in effect, rainfed systems brought crops to where basalt was breaking down and supplying nutrients, while irrigation water brought the nutrients resulting from the breakdown of basalt to crops. In contrast to Hawai‘i, most of Rapa Nui has soils with <10 meq/100 g exchangeable Ca, but fine-scale erosion and deposition (probably reinforced in some cases by cultural practices) enhanced soil fertility to near this threshold within intensively cultivated rock gardens.

Full textAbstract:
South African farming households face several challenges regarding food security, poverty, micronutrient deficiencies and hidden hunger. This is due to millions of households lacking access to food and an adequate food basket. Consumption of indigenous crops has been proposed to help sustain vulnerable households since these crops have low production costs and are climate-resilient. However, research has found the consumption of these crops across South Africa to be relatively low. This study aims to examine the factors associated with the consumption of indigenous crops among farming households in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. A sample of 260 farming households was selected using simple random sampling. The results showed that farmers commonly cultivate exotic crops, such as spinach, cabbage, carrot, and butternut, more than any indigenous crops, except for a few cultivating taro and sweet potato. The binomial logit regression results revealed that an increase in the number of females and children within a household and farmers’ experience increased the likelihood of consuming indigenous crops, whilst monthly food expenses decreased the likelihood of consuming indigenous crops. There is a considerable gap between the consumption and production of indigenous crops. The findings established that although many farming households indicated that they consume indigenous crops, this was not reflected in their cultivated crops. The study also concluded that farming households may be more aware of the nutritional benefits of indigenous crops, since an increase in the number of children in a household was linked to an increase in consumption of these crops. Additionally, experience in farming is vital, as it increases the consumption of indigenous crops. The study recommends government interventions that include increasing the production of indigenous crops by including them alongside the cultivation of exotic crops. Future work should also focus on awareness programs to promote the nutritional benefits of consuming indigenous crops. This, coupled with training centered on indigenous crops, could incentivize farming households to cultivate more of these crops for easier access.

An exploration was conducted in Southern districts of Assam comprising of Karbiyanglong, Dima Hansao, Hailakandi and Karimgunj regions. With diverse agro climate coupled with varied soil and rainfall pattern, these regions are best suited for cultivating tuber crops and play significant role in food security of tribals inhabited. In hilly areas, tuber crops were grown mainly in jhums and in homestead farming, while in plains they are grown in small pockets under mixed cropping. Of the four districts explored, diversity in yam and taro were maximum in Karbianglong and Dima Hasao offering good scope for taxonomic studies. Farmers Interviewed during exploration reported a declining trend in the production and the number of local varieties maintained in individual farms since the past decade. The factors include displacement by other crops, little research attention, drought, short shelf life, shortage and non availability of planting material, limited knowledge among youth and susceptablity to new pests and diseases. In the present mission, a total of eighty nine (89) tuber crop species comprising of thirty five (35) yam, twenty eight (28) taro, eight (8) sweet potato, six (6) xanthosoma, five (5) tapioca, four (4) arrow root, two (2) elephant yam and one species of Stemona were collected. The study revealed that there is ample scope for multi-crop explorations combining crop wild relatives and landraces diversity.

Agriculture is a backbone of Ethiopian economy, contributing a vital role to food security and employment in rural communities. Climate change and variability have been adversely influenced, challenging the country’s efforts to ensure food security. As a result, this study investigated the association between climate variability and tuber crop yields in southern Ethiopia. Modified Mann-Kendal trend test and coefficient of variation were implemented to examine trend and variability while Seaborne bivariate kernel density was used to assess how climate variability has been related with tuber crop yields. The study has also evaluated the predictive potential of multivariate regression by means of coefficient of determination and root mean square error metrics. The rainfall characteristics showed increasing trend during spring, autumn and annually at a rate of 0.32 mm, 1.67 mm and 0.25 mm, whereas significantly decreasing in summer rainy season at a rate of 0.455 mm/year. Spring and autumn rainfall revealed moderate to high variability, posing risks to rain-fed farming. Days and night time showed increasing trend at a rate of 0.053°C and 0.16°C 1981-2021 period. A reasonable tuber crop yield was harvested with cumulative rainfall ranging from 450.0 to 650.0 mm during the growing season, day and night time temperature was between 23.0-26.0°C and 11.5-14.0°C. When day time temperature above 26.0°C and night time temperature below 11.5°C, sweet potato and taro yields decrease, and harvesting is utterly unexpected. The RF regression model proved to be the best model performing algorithm allowing for optimal yield prediction, assisting farmers and decision makers in better planning crop production and management. The high variability of spring rainfall and the decreasing trend of summer rainfall, combined with an increasing of temperatures, could reduce agricultural productivity, leading to food insecurity. Therefore, the yield of tuber crops can be improved by supplementing the rain-fed farming system with irrigation and applying modern farming techniques and operations by farmers. Moreover, the finding suggests that the need to carefully select plant varieties tolerant to high ambient temperature conditions, which will be more prevalent in the context of climate change. There is a need to intensify adaptation measures to minimize the negative consequences of climate variability to improve the adaptive capacity of sweet potato and taro farmers.

Efforts in managing leafy materials and aquatic plants as fish feed are essential approaches in sustainable fish farming. The purpose of this article is to explore the potential utilization of leaves, aquatic plants, and the processing methods involved in turning them into supplementary fish feed. The writing methodology employed is a literature review, involving stages such as journal search, journal selection, journal analysis, and journal synthesis. Based on the review of several relevant journals, it is evident that various leaf species such as Taro (Colocasia esculenta L.), Gamal (Gliricidia sepium), Lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala), Cassava (Manihot utilissima), Noni (Morinda citrifolia), Turi (Sesbania grandiflora L.), Kale (Ipomoea aquatica), Papaya (Carica Papaya), and aquatic plants like Lemna Minor, Water Hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes), Azolla microphylla can serve as references for supplementary feed with beneficial content for fish growth. The utilization of these plants is a judicious step as it can reduce commercial feed costs, provide stable feed availability throughout the year, and mitigate negative environmental impacts while enhancing water quality. Managing plants as fish feed is not only economically favorable but also a positive stride towards sustainable and environmentally friendly fish farming.

This study aims to improve sweet potato production in the Philippines by identifying the challenges facing sweet potato farmers and providing effective interventions to address these issues. Participatory Action Research (PAR) was used to foster community participation and action and to establish a baseline profile of farmers, assess participation rates, evaluate interventions using high-yield varieties and proper training on the use of the stem-cutting system and staggered planting, and identify challenges after the intervention. The mean age of the participants was 52.44 years old, indicating that they belong to the marginalized adult group, and their average monthly income from sweet potato production was relatively low. In addition to sweet potato farming, the key informants are also engaged in other crop production, such as rice (100%), banana (89%), cassava (67%), corn (67%), taro (67%) and potato (22%). Regarding fertilizer use in sweet potato farming, key informants use urea and complete 14-14-14 fertilizers. Using NSIC Sp-36 and UPL Sp-17 varieties combined with staggered planting and stem-cutting techniques effectively increases sweet potato yield per hectare. The total yield from the scientific interventions was 8,000 kilograms or 8 tons, twice the target yield of 4,000 kilograms or 4 tons. While the adaptation of the farming strategy effectively increased to 160% actual yield, there is a low market demand due to the lack of production takers, which constrained the success of this intervention. Moreover, some farmers could not attend the activity, which is essential to note. These interventions can potentially improve the productivity of sweet potato farming and increase food security and income for small-scale farmers. However, there is a need to intensify the marketing strategy.

Beyond the aggravating effects of climate change on both sedentary agrarian farming communities and the pastoral herders, are other man made factors, which could be seen in the persistent occurrence of farmers-herders conflicts in Benue State and across various parts of Nigeria, thus a clog in the wheel of progress to national development and cohesion. It was against this background that this study engaged conflict theory to examine the factors responsible for farmers-herders conflict in Benue State. The study employed Taro Yamane sampling technique on administered five-Likert scale questionnaire. Findings from study on the factors responsible for farmers-herders conflict reveals that encroachment on farm lands and crop destruction by cattle stands at (71.1%), Unemployment and poverty (62.9%),Communication barrier/Mutual distrust (64.2%), inadequate grazing reserves/Blockage of grazing routes (68.4%,), Raping/Kidnapping of women (59.4%), Land ownership tussle/ Indigenization (51.6%), Cattle rustling/Theft (26.6%) and Contamination of river bodies by cattle (71.9%). The deduction therefore is that majority of the respondents emphatically agreed with all the factors mentioned above as the major causes of the conflict in Benue and Nigeria in general. However, the opinions of most respondents out rightly rejected cattle rustling as a major cause of the conflict in the study area. The study recommends that the establishment of modern functional cattle ranches will significantly address the issues of grazing routes blockage and encroachment on farm lands/crop destruction which will drastically reduce or completely eliminate farmers-herders conflict in Nigeria. This study also recommends the urgent implementation of the National Young Farmers Scheme’ aimed engaging modern methods of farming by engaging 1,000 farmers from each of the 774 Local Government. That Federal government should evolve genuine and workable national strategies of disarming the armed killer herdsmen parading farming communities in Benue with sophisticated weapons of Ak47 to commit carnage, and rape against farming communities.

Abstract This study aims to provide an overview of the agricultural system in the life of the Kimaam people, particularly in planting gembili (taro-like-plant). This present study was an ethnography; interviews and documentation were the technique of collecting the data. Community leaders provided descriptions of their cultural knowledge, which served as the main data source. The study’s findings demonstrate that the Kimaam community possessed the agricultural knowledge such as the system and the process of planting the plant, treating the plant, and harvesting the plant. Additionally, the study’s findings highlight six phases of farming, particularly for gembili. First, the process of planning a planting. The Kimaam people of the Riandana sub-tribe were skilled in two areas: (1) seed preparation; and (2) soil preparation and the process of getting ready to plant gembili. Second, according to the Kimaam sub-tribe of Riandana’s local knowledge, gembili seeds need to be protected during the planting procedure in order for them to produce few buds. Third, the procedure of planting gembili involved several signs. Fourth, (1) Mewa, adawa, (2) ewa, (3) mapona, (4) pona, (5) kaci, (6) ndamene, (7) turima, (8) caka, (9) barima were the nine types of gembili that were planted in the Riandana sub-tribe. Fifth, pole installation method; the pole is installed in order to prevent less maximal growth. Finally, in order to complete the treatment procedure, dirt and grass were added. Harvesting was done in accordance with customary practices. Growing gembili has high spiritual and cultural value, and it is as an alternative food, in place of rice.

Small and medium enterprises, particularly micro-businesses have been the rescue platform for the survival and sustainability of the poor, unemployed youths and women as well as being the nursery-bed of entrepreneurship development in the nation. The study analyzes the influence of social entrepreneurship training on job creation in Ilorin's small business sector. The study focuses on understanding the impact of social entrepreneurship training programs on the ability of small business owners in Ilorin to create employment opportunities. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The study sampled 226 small business enterprises out of 520 using the Taro Yamane Coefficient of Variation formula. The researcher's instrument for data collection was a well-structured five-point Likert scale questionnaire which was administered to entrepreneurs from each selected entrepreneurial business type comprised of poultry farming, snail rearing, Rabbit rearing and 58 fish farming. The study adopted regression analysis and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal that social entrepreneurship training has a significant positive influence on job creation in Ilorin's small business sector. Small business owners who have received training are more likely to create employment opportunities compared to those who have not undergone any training. It was concluded from the findings of the study that the social entrepreneurship development programs have greatly contributed to the rate of growth of small business enterprises in Ilorin.

Full textAbstract:
Distribution of subsidized fertilizer from the government benefits farmers because they can buy fertilizer at affordable prices and good quality. In practice, the distribution of subsidized fertilizer often experiences various obstacles. The main problems with the performance of subsidized fertilizer distribution are planning, distribution, and supervision. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of using farmer cards in distributing subsidized fertilizer in Sijunjung Regency. The type of research used is descriptive research with survey methods. The study sample was selected as 100 people using the Taro Yamame sampling method. The sample of farmers was selected purposively: farmers who had received a farmer's card. Primary data was collected using a questionnaire prepared using the Guttman scale. Data analysis was descriptively qualitatively and triangulated to validate the data and reduce bias. The research results show that the effectiveness of using farmer cards to distribute subsidized fertilizer is considered less than optimal. Due to various obstacles in the field, many farmers still have difficulty using farmer cards to redeem subsidized fertilizer. The long distance to the bank and farmers' lack of understanding regarding the procedures for using the farmer's card in banking are the main reasons for not achieving the aim of the farmer's card in distributing subsidized fertilizer in Sijunjung Regency. In terms of the effectiveness of fertilizer distribution based on the 6T indicators (right price, type, time, place, quantity, and quality), distribution is considered quite effective. However, price effectiveness is still less than optimal because the price of fertilizer purchased by farmers often exceeds the HET (Highest Retail Price) set by the government. According to the HET, this requires further monitoring to ensure that subsidized fertilizer prices remain affordable.

The study aimed to determine factors affecting economic profits of beef cattle business in Sakon Nakhon Province. A sample of 400 members of Kor Ror Por Klang Phon Yang Kham Livestock Coop-erative Limited was determined by using Taro Yamane method, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the variables with the statistical significance of 0.01 included concentrate feeds, roughage, and the raised period of less than or equal to 12 months. They were statistically significant at 0.001 0.000, and 0.000 respectively, and the odd ratios were 1.387, 0.921, and 5.697 respectively. Additionally, the variables with the statistical significance of 0.05 includ-ed Charolais cattle (62.50%) and farm location. The two variables were statistically significant at 0.023 and 0.039 respectively with the odd ratios of 5.083 and 0.595 respectively. If the cows are fed on 1 more kg/day of more concentrated feed, it is likely for the farmers to increase economic profit by 0.921 times and 1.387 times respectively. The probability of economic profit is by 5.697 times if the cattle are raised no more than 12 months. The cross-bred cattle with 62.50% Charolais breed showed the proba-bility for the farmers to gain economic profit by 5.083 times. Finally, those who had farms located next to the farm family’s home were more likely to gain less economic profit by 0.595 times.

Wolomeze District has abundant agricultural potential and located in a flat area. This potential includes the availability of agricultural land, the presence of plantation sectors, horticulture, and food crop agriculture, agricultural human resources, and the existence of active farmer groups. The aim of this research is to understand the local food sources in Wolomeze District regarding the types of plant varieties, cultivation techniques, methods of obtaining them during the harvest season and their availability in nature, as well as storage and processing methods, and effective strategies for promoting local food as part of the national food security and sovereignty strategy. This research’s method is a survey method utilizing the KoBoCollect application and QGIS through location determination, observation, interviews, and data analysis. The research results show that there are 18 local food species, namely Uwi, Uwi Gembolo, Uwi Gembili, Uwi Kuning Kulit Cokelat, Ubi Gadung, Porang, Balang, Sorgum, Jewawut, Ganyong, Cassava, Sweet Potato, Taro, Corn, Rice, Red Beans, Gude Beans, and Jali-Jali. Some local foods have different planting and harvesting seasons. The cultivation system of local food consists of gardens, plantations, and forests, with processing methods that remain traditional, such as boiling, roasting, steaming, and frying, or being made into traditional cakes. However, there have been no efforts made by the community and local government to make local food a strategy for national food security and sovereignty. Cultural rituals play a significant role in preserving the existence of local food for uses it as ingredients in rituals.

Full textAbstract:
The sustainability of Indonesia's economic development is partly determined by the food security factor. The non-rice food crop diversification program is an effort to maintain food security. The Gembili is a type of non-rice food plant besides corn, cassava, sweet potato, peanuts, green beans, and taro. However, efforts to maintain food security through the development of the Gembili food crop agribusiness in Southeast Sulawesi are still not optimal. Muna Regency is one of the areas that have huge potential in the development of Gembili food crop farming. The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of income and financial feasibility of Gembili farming. This research was conducted in 2019 in Muna Regency in 2 (two) sub-districts, namely South Wakorumba District and Parigi District which were selected purposively. The study population was all 105 people of the Gembili plant and a sample of 32 people. The sampling method was stratified random (multi-stage sampling). The types of data used are primary data and secondary data. The data analysis method is descriptive quantitative. The results showed that the average income received by farmers was Rp. 299,625 per farmer per year. Financial feasibility is indicated by the R / C value, which is an average of 1.48, greater than 1 (one), meaning that the development of Gembili plants has been efficiently implemented. The processing of Gembili tubers into various preparations will certainly increase the economic value of the Gembili commodity. However, the local community sells Gembili tubers only in the form of commodities without being processed first, so the income received by farmers is classified as small. The local community has difficulty in developing Gembili farming due to various obstacles, namely the limited technology and production facilities and the difficulty in obtaining quality seeds. Empowerment, counseling, and mentoring as well as other concrete programs are needed to preserve and develop Gembili farming.

Full textAbstract:
Beyond the aggravating effects of climate change on both sedentary agrarian farming communities and the pastoral herders, are other man made factors, which could be seen in the persistent occurrence of farmers-herders conflicts in Benue State and across various parts of Nigeria, thus a clog in the wheel of progress to national development and cohesion. It was against this background that this study engaged conflict theory to examine the factors responsible for farmers-herders conflict in Benue State. The study employed Taro Yamane sampling technique on administered five-Likert scale questionnaire. Findings from study on the factors responsible for farmers-herders conflict reveals that encroachment on farm lands and crop destruction by cattle stands at (71.1%), Unemployment and poverty (62.9%),Communication barrier/Mutual distrust (64.2%), inadequate grazing reserves/Blockage of grazing routes (68.4%,), Raping/Kidnapping of women (59.4%), Land ownership tussle/ Indigenization (51.6%), Cattle rustling/Theft (26.6%) and Contamination of river bodies by cattle (71.9%). The deduction therefore is that majority of the respondents emphatically agreed with all the factors mentioned above as the major causes of the conflict in Benue and Nigeria in general. However, the opinions of most respondents out rightly rejected cattle rustling as a major cause of the conflict in the study area. The study recommends that the establishment of modern functional cattle ranches will significantly address the issues of grazing routes blockage and encroachment on farm lands/crop destruction which will drastically reduce or completely eliminate farmers-herders conflict in Nigeria. This study also recommends the urgent implementation of the National Young Farmers Scheme’ aimed engaging modern methods of farming by engaging 1,000 farmers from each of the 774 Local Government. That Federal government should evolve genuine and workable national strategies of disarming the armed killer herdsmen parading farming communities in Benue with sophisticated weapons of Ak47 to commit carnage, and rape against farming communities.

This study aims to determine the performance and role of horticultural farmer groups in Tampa Bulu Village, North Poleang Sub-district, Bombana District, Southeast Sulawesi. Through this research, it is expected that strategies can be found to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of farmer groups in developing horticultural farming. This research was conducted from June 2022 to May 2023. The research location was chosen purposively because it has four horticultural farmer groups with 30 members each formed since 2016. The study population was all members of horticultural farmer groups in Tampa Bulu Village, totaling 120 people. The sample was taken randomly using the Taro Yamane formula with a margin of error of 15%, resulting in a sample of 32 people. The variables studied included the characteristics of respondents (age, education, land area, and length of farming) and the performance of farmer groups assessed by their role as a learning class, a vehicle for cooperation, and a production unit. The analytical tool used is Importance Performance Analysis (IPA), which measures the level of importance and performance in a two-dimensional graph. The results showed that most respondents were in the productive age range of 15-54 years (90.63%) with an education level of primarily high school graduates (43.76%). 81.25% of respondents had more than ten years of farming experience, and 50% had less than four dependents. Based on IPA analysis, six attributes were found in the "Improve Performance" quadrant, four attributes in the "Maintain Achievement" quadrant, four attributes in the "Low Priority" quadrant, and three attributes in the "Excessive" quadrant. This research provides insight into the performance and role of horticultural farmer groups and offers recommendations that can be implemented to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of farmer groups in Tampa Bulu Village.

"Manifesting a sustainable circular economy in waste management by linking to Paddy Farming in Gianyar Regency, Bali." IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science 1190, no. 1 (2023): 012011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/1190/1/012011.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Bali is a province that has a source-based waste management program that is in line with the concept of a circular economy, in the form of a waste management facility at the village level (called Tempat Pembuangan Sampah Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle or TPS3R). TPS3R is still in the stage of looking for a sustainable form of business. One of the main products of the waste management facility is compost, which although it is good for improving soil quality and rice field ecosystem, but is still difficult to find consumers, making the continuity of its business in question. By having sustainable business, we can generate more sustainable environmental benefits. The action research was conducted in three villages, i.e., Sayan, Taro, and Pejeng, in Gianyar Regency. It aims to bridge the use of compost for the initiation of healthier paddy farming, while identifying ongoing business processes, potential environmental benefits, opportunities for mainstreaming healthier paddy farming, as well as the role of relevant stakeholders in realizing a circular economy business model that is sustainable and more independent. We interviewed 22 key informants. The results show that all villages have the same business model, viz. utilizing organic waste for composting, plastic waste for sorting and resale, and residual waste that will be sent to landfill because it has no economic value. Although the sale of compost is still an obstacle, there are opportunities if it can be synergized in the practice of paddy farming. This mainstreaming can be further synergized into food security projects that must be allocated from village funds. So, the role of the village government in this case is huge, followed by TPS3R management capabilities, while other parties such as NGOs, academics, and agricultural activists are only limited to functioning as encouragement and companions. If the TPS3R is successful, the village community will receive environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Purpose: The study analyzed the technical efficiency of turmeric production in Benue State, Nigeria. Taro Yamane’s formula was used to select 28 respondents.
 Methodology: The research made use of experimental design and a multistage, purposive and proportionate sampling was used for the study. Data for the study were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire from 28 turmeric farmers in Konshisha, Vandeikya, and Gwer-East Local Government Areas of Benue State. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and stochastic frontier production function.
 Findings: Analysis of the result showed that majority (53.6%) of the turmeric farmers had technical efficiency level between 31% and 60%. Also, analysis of the stochastic frontier production function revealed that age, sex, farm experience, and household size of turmeric farmers in the state significantly influenced their technical efficiency.
 Recommendations: It was recommended that policies aimed at increasing the resource use efficiency of turmeric farmers in the State and hence their farm output can be increased by providing the turmeric farming communities with improved planting ,harvesting, peeling and drying machines for higher efficiency.
