This research was aimed to define the corn farmer's behaviour  in Seluma Regency of Bengkulu  Province on inputs and outputs allocation, and determine  of production factors influencing  corn production.  The research was located in three villages in Seluma Regency, namely Riak Siabun, Sido Luhur,  and Sumber Arum. Sixty two farmers were selected using stratified random sampling  method. In this research, the analitical description was used to analyse farmer  behaviour. In order to determine the input and output allocation of the corn productions,  this research used the function of production  Cobb-Douglas  approach. The result showed found that the behaviour of the farmers to choose corn was due to the corn was easy to sell and cultivate. However, the farmers  found  that it  is  hard to access some production factors,  such as seed, fertilizer,  and pesticide. Their prices were also high, and these were contradicted  to the product's  price which was low. Tis research also found that land area is the main factor that has a significant  impacts on production  while other factors were not.Key words: corn, determined factors, production.

Forest Fringe

Research Highlights: Landscape approach principles were developed to address competing claims on resources at local scales. We used the principles to address agricultural expansion in Ghana’s forest reserves. Background and Objectives: Agricultural expansion is a major cause of Ghana’s forest-cover loss. Cultivation has totally deforested some forest reserves. The situation in Ghana illustrates the trade-off between attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 1—reduction of poverty, and 2—achieving food security, are in conflict with SDG 15—protecting and restoring forests. We examined how farmers in forest fringe communities could be engaged in restoring degraded forests using the landscape approach and whether their livelihoods were improved through the use of this approach. Materials and Methods: The Ongwam II Forest Reserve in the Ashanti region of Ghana is encroached by farmers from two communities adjacent to the reserve. We employed the 10 principles of the landscape approach to engage farmers in restoring the degraded reserve. The flexibility of the landscape approach provided a framework against which to assess farmer behaviour. We encouraged farmers to plant trees on 10 ha of the degraded reserve and to benefit through the cultivation of food crops amongst the trees. Results: Access to fertile forest soils for cultivation was the main motivation for the farmers to participate in the reforestation project. The farmers’ access to natural and financial capital increased and they became food secure in the first year of the project’s operation. Conclusions: Effective implementation of several small-scale reforestation projects using the landscape approach could together lead to a forest transition, more trees in agricultural systems and better protection of residual natural forests while improving farmers’ livelihoods, all combining to achieve the SDGs.

Economic Perspectives

Economic insights are crucial for making sound decisions about farm-level management of nitrogen and also about regional or national policy such as for water pollution. In the present review, key insights are presented from a large and diverse literature on the economics of nitrogen in agriculture and the economics of the consequences of nitrogen fertilisation. Issues covered include (1) the economics of nitrogen as an input to production, (2) nitrogen and economic risk at the farm level, (3) the economics of nitrogen fixation by legumes, (4) the existence of flat payoff functions, which often allow wide flexibility in decisions about nitrogen fertiliser rates, (5) explanations for over-application of nitrogen fertilisers by some farmers, and (6) the economics of nitrogen pollution at both the farm level and the policy level. Economics helps to explain farmer behaviour and to design strategies and policies that are more beneficial and more likely to be adopted and successfully implemented.

Key Word

The farmer behaviour is influenced by many factors and one of them is what the farmer's attitude toward his profession. In order to understand the farmer's behaviour, we have to understand the farmer's attitude in advance. The purposes of this study are: 1) to analyze the farmer's attitude toward his profession, 2) to describe the schematic attitute. The data for this study were analized quantitatively using likest scale and qualitatively using theories of social psicology. The finding shows that the farmers tend to have a positive attitude. Meanwhile the schematic attitude shows that the farmers attitude toward their professions was positive and negative. therefore, extension acctivities should emphasize on changing the aspect of negative attitude. Key word : farmers, behaviour, attitude
