The study identifies a critical research gap in understanding the nuanced motivations and concerns that shape farmers' decisions to transition to agroecology and bioeconomy systems, offering a comprehensive exploration of the economic, environmental, and regulatory dimensions. The problem formulation addresses the multifaceted considerations involved in this transition, highlighting farmers' apprehensions about initial investment, technical knowledge requirements, and potential risks associated with adopting biotechnologies. The novelty of this research lies in its nuanced examination of the bioeconomy's potential economic benefits, environmental sustainability, and regulatory incentives, providing a holistic understanding of the complex interplay between motivations and barriers. The research purposes encompass a dual focus on uncovering the motivations propelling farmers towards bioeconomy adoption, such as economic profitability and environmental sustainability, and the inhibiting factors, including perceived risks and knowledge gaps. Surveys, interviews, and observations are used to explore farmer perspectives using a mixed-methods approach. The research results reveal diverse perspectives, with a majority acknowledging the long-term benefits of agroecology and bioeconomy systems, yet variations in experiences and challenges faced during adoption. The findings shed light on the economic, environmental, and knowledge-based considerations influencing farmer decisions, providing valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers aiming to facilitate the widespread adoption of sustainable agricultural practices.</p> Haryuni, Norbertus Citra Irawan, Reza Ridho Putranto, Ardhanesdian Rizqi Setyadi Copyright (c) 2024 AESE Journal http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ http://ejournal.utp.ac.id/index.php/aese/article/view/3315 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 21:20:40 +0700 http://ejournal.utp.ac.id/index.php/aese/article/view/2890 <p>Amid Indonesia’s agricultural landscape, Bleberan Village and Playen sub-district face a pressing challenge – the diminishing availability of agricultural land. Recognizing agriculture’s pivotal role in Indonesia, this research confronts the stark reality of land scarcity exacerbated by the adverse environmental impacts of modern farming practices. The study examines the causes of land degradation and discovers various variables while criticizing previous methods. A quantitative descriptive research method is used to explore the benefits of food crop farming and reveal their high economic value. The results underscore the multifaceted advantages of food crop cultivation, highlighting its vital role in the local economy. The significance of this research lies in its revelation of the critical importance of food crop farming in the face of diminishing agricultural land. The findings contribute valuable insights to the existing discourse on sustainable farm development and underscore the urgency of implementing specific strategies to counteract the challenges posed by land scarcity. As we navigate the complex intersection of economic, environmental, and agricultural concerns, this research serves as a beacon, illuminating the path toward a more resilient and sustainable future for Bleberan Village and the Playen sub-district.</p> Muhammad Miftahurridlo, Sudrajat, Rika Harini Copyright (c) 2024 The AESE Journal and Authors http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ http://ejournal.utp.ac.id/index.php/aese/article/view/2890 Sun, 25 Feb 2024 09:53:56 +0700
