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 research method used is  qualitative approach, data collection is done by observation, in-depth interviews and snowball, data analysis using structural-functional approach.

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.

Ecovillages are collective projects that attempt to integrate sustainability principles into daily community life, while also striving to be demonstration projects for mainstream society. As spaces of experimentation, they can provide valuable insights into sustainability transformations. Through shared values and interpersonal connections, ecovillages possess collective identities, which provide a platform for enacting their ideals. However, many ecovillage residents question how to best enhance their role as models, resource centers, and pieces of a greater movement toward sustainability transformations, while simultaneously preserving their unique community and identity. In relation to the above, this paper addresses the questions: What can collective identity in ecovillage communities teach us about the objective and subjective dimensions of sustainability transformations? Furthermore, how can the perspective of collective identity highlight challenges for ecovillages for initiating sustainability transformations? Sustainability transformations encompass objective (behaviors) and subjective (values) dimensions; however, the interactions between these spheres deserve more scholarly attention. Using ethnographic data and in-depth interviews from three ecovillages in the United States, this paper reveals the value in collective identity for underscoring belonging and interpersonal relationships in sustainability transformations. Furthermore, the collective identity perspective exposes paradoxes and frictions between ecovillages and the societal structures and systems they are embedded within.

This article explores the contributions made by Raymond Williams and E.P. Thompson to communication for social change theory. It argues that Williams’ critique of technological determinism, his notion of the ‘structure of feeling’, analysis of culture and cultural materialism as a mode of analysis contributes to the theorising of communication for social change. This article also examines Thompson’s contributions to historiography, his engagement with the contextualised histories of ordinary people and their contributions to the making of the public sphere in 18th-century England. This article argues that the contributions made by these two theorists enable a critique of structures and a re-centring of agency, both of which are critical to a renewal of communication for social change theory.

National diversification of wheat-based food has been put into practice. Public consumption of flour-based food, such as noodles and bread, is in great demand. This study aims to determine the calculations, perceptions and attitudes of farmers towards wheat farming, considering that Indonesia is a non-wheat developing country. This qualitative descriptive research using in-depth interviews with 7 informants and observation methods was conducted in Klaten and Demak Regencies. In analyzing the data, this study used an interactive analysis model including data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results show that: 1) based on farmers' calculations, wheat farming is financially not profitable to farmers because the products harvested are not worth the expense; 2) farmers' calculations affect farmers' perceptions which shifted to negative perceptions that wheat farming is not as promising as other farming businesses. Despite the negative perceptions, wheat farming has provided a valuable experience for farmers which is shown by their pride and pleasure and 3) the majority of farmers are not interested in wheat farming, which is shown by their attitude of not being able to accept wheat farming, while other farmers behave otherwise, indicated by their willingness to recommence wheat planting testing. Further research may examine: 1) how to change the culture of rice farming into culture of wheat farming; 2) how to change subsistence rice farming into enterprise and 3) how to change rice farming as social activities to rice farming as business activities.
