DARI DORO KE RAKI: EKONOMI GENDER DAN TRANSFORMASI  SOSIAL PERTANIAN ORANG GALELA

Sistem pertanian terbentuk di antaranya karena pengaruh ekologis, pandangan tentang manusia dan pandangan manusia tentang alam. Pada taraf tertentu, ketiga faktor ini saling berpengaruh dan pada akhirnya membentuk sistem pertanian sebagai sistem kebudayaan yang khas. Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk membahas bagaimana sistem pertanian Galela Halmahera Utara dan bagaimana pengaruh transformasi pertanian Galela dari doro ke raki terhadap tingkat kesejahteraan ekonomi rumah tangga petani Galela. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi, wawancara mendalam dan snowball, analisis data menggunakan penekatan struktural-fungsional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam sistem pertanian orang Galela terdapat distribusi tenaga kerja rumah tangga yakni sebagai produsen sekaligus sebagai konsumen. Kesejahteraan petani Galela tidak meningkat seiring peningkatan produksi pertanian karena petani meninggalkan usaha tani doro setelah usaha tani raki menjamin pemenuhan kebutuhan rumah tangga. Kebijakan negara yang cenderung mengabaikan regulasi harga komoditas pertanian dari intervensi pasar juga turut mempengaruhi kesejahteraan petani.Farming culture is formed by three factors: the influence of ecology, the view of man towards man, and human view of nature. To a certain extent, these three factors affect each other and eventually form the agricultural system as a distinctive cultural system. The objective of this article is to discuss a distinctive farm system, in Galela North Halmahera and the influence of agricultural transformation Galela from doro to raki on the level of economic well-being of households in Galela. The research method used is qualitative approach, data collection is done by observation, in-depth interviews and snowball, data analysis using structural-functional approach. The results show that in the farming system Galela, there is systematic distribution of household labor both as producers and consumers. With transformation from doro to raki, there is an increase in agricultural production. However, welfare of farmers in Galela do not increase because farmers leave the doro system, after the raki system meets the household needs. State policy that tends to ignore the price regulation of agricultural commodities market intervention also affects the welfare of farmers.

There is a gap in understanding the relationships between the transformation of agricultural landscapes, ecosystem services and human well-being in the peri-urban fringe of major cities worldwide. In this paper, we use semi-structured interviews, perception surveys, social surveys and field mapping to examine linkages between agricultural and landscape transition, ecosystem services and human well-being in five sample villages in Xi’an metropolitan zone, China. The results indicate that: (1) Agricultural change has increased landscape fragmentation, with a shift from grain to more profitable horticulture and nursery production. The farming system is more diversified and exhibits a multifunctional character. (2) This transformation has had a significant impact on the character of the agroecosystem. (3) The agricultural transformation towards greater multifunctionality has increased the supply of ecosystem services, including tourism-related activities, potentially improving human well-being. (4) Different combinations of activities in the sample villages were evaluated with respect to a well-being index, indicating the importance of combining horticulture and tourism. (5) Linkages identified between agricultural transformation, ecosystem services and human well-being may have significant implications for potential approaches within future studies.

Economic Well Being

Most farms in the Northeast include wooded areas that exist either as woodlots, plantations, or fence rows. However, the degree to which these areas support a particular farm is highly variable — some being largely ignored, others contributing significantly to the farm's economic well-being. The current economic plight and ecological problems facing the agricultural sector across North America are forcing many farmers to look for alternatives to traditional farming and forestry practices. One possibility is the greater integration of trees directly into the farming system through the adoption of various agroforestry principles and practices. Promoting the adoption of agroforestry by farmers in the Northeast, however, will require developing new research data bases and modifying current extension delivery systems. Suggestions for accomplishing both are provided in this paper based on an assessment of the potential for agroforestry in New York State.
