Abstract: Currently the development of technology is growing very rapidly and has entered into all sectors, including the financial sector. With the technology to the financial sector, it is slowly transforming the financial industry into the digital era. The combination of Financial Technique (Fintech) with financial institutions, especially sharia financial institutions, is considered to increase financial inclusiveness in agriculture. Inclusion is a situation where the public is not aware of access to digital finance.The emergence of problems in the first agricultural sector due to lack of land, secondly due to lack of farmer capital and thirdly due to lack of land processors made modernization of technology create agricultural financial technology as an alternative to increase financial inclusion in agriculture.The use of fintech agro in Indonesia is felt to be lacking because of constraints such as lack of literacy to the community, poorly trained human resources, lack of legislation and lack of network access to remote villages. Financial inclusion can increase with the support of the government to improve supporting facilities and infrastructure for the use of fintech agro in Indonesia. الملخص: في الوقت الحالي ينمو تطوير التكنولوجيا بسرعة كبيرة وقد دخل في جميع القطاعات، بما في ذلك القطاع المالي. ومع دخول التكنولوجيا إلى القطاع المالي، فإنها تحول الصناعة المالية إلى العصر الرقمي. ويشعر مزيج من التقنية المالية  مع المؤسسات المالية، وخاصة المؤسسات المالية الشرعية، تزيد التمويل في مجال الزراعة. ظهور مشاكل في القطاع الزراعي الأول بسبب عدم وجود الأراضي، وثانياً بسبب نقص رأس المال الفلاحي، وثالثاً بسبب عدم وجود معالجي الأراضي، أدى تحديث التكنولوجيا إلى خلق التكنولوجيا الزراعية المالية كبديل لزيادة الشمول المالي في الزراعة. ومن المعتقد أن استخدام التكنولوجيا الزراعية في إندونيسيا يفتقر إلى القيود بسبب الافتقار إلى معرفة القراءة والكتابة لدى المجتمع، والموارد البشرية المدربة تدريجيًا، وعدم وجود تشريعات، وعدم الوصول إلى الشبكة إلى القرى النائية. يمكن أن يزيد الإدماج المالي بدعم من الحكومة لتحسين المرافق الداعمة والبنية التحتية لاستخدام التكنولوجيا الزراعية في إندونيسيا.                                         Abstrak: Saat  ini  perkembangan teknologi berkembang sangat pesat  dan telah masuk ke semua sector, diantaranya adalah sektor keuangan. Dengan masuknya teknologi ke sector keungan, maka secara perlahan  mengubah industry keuangan ke era digital. Perpaduan antara Financial Technlogi (Fintech) dengan lembaga keuangan  khususnya lembaga keuangan syariah dirasa dapat meningkatkan inklusif keuangan pada bidang pertanian. Inklusi adalah sebuah keadaan di mana masyarakat kurang paham terhadap akses keuangan digital.Munculnya permasalahan pada bidang pertanian pertama karena kurangnya lahan, kedua karena kurangya modal petani dan ketiga karena kurangnya pengolah lahan membuat modernisasi teknologi menciptakan teknologi financial  agro pertanian sebagai alternative meningkatkan inklusi keuangan pada bidang pertanian.Penggunan fintech agro di Indonesia dirasa masih kurang karena adanya kendala seperti kurangnya literasi kepada masyarakat, Sumber daya manusia yang kurang dibina, peraturan perundang-undangan yang kurang dan kurangnya akses jaringan ke dalam pelosok desa. Inklusi keuangan bisa  meningkat dengan adanya dukungan dari pemerintah guna peningkatan sarana dan prasarana penunjang untuk penggunaan fintech agro di Indonesia.

The striving for sustainable development has become the goal of actions undertaken not only by representatives of public authorities and institutions representing this sector, but also representatives of private entities who are increasingly recognizing the benefits and sources of long-term development based on the principles and objectives of sustainable development. These are mainly based on the pursuit of synergy in the three basic areas of activities, i.e., in the economic, social, and environmental dimensions as well as in the maintenance of natural resources. The implementation of these activities is connected with the necessity of incurring financial expenditures, which the government (public sector) does not have in the required value. Therefore, in the process of sustainable development for which the government is responsible, the active participation of the financial sector (banks) is necessary. Achieving results within the alliance of the concept of sustainable development requires the setting of a kind of contract, the parties of which are the government, society, and financial institutions. The purpose of the conducted research is to indicate by which means the government can stimulate economic growth towards its sustainable development.

The Impact

The study sought to investigate the impact of financial inclusion on poverty reduction in Zimbabwe among the smallholder farmers. It is alleged that financial inclusion can help in achieving seven of the seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs), which include poverty eradication in all its forms everywhere, ending hunger, achieving food security, ensuring improved nutrition as well as promoting sustainable agriculture and many others. Using the simple regression method, the study discovered that financial inclusion has a strong impact on poverty reduction among smallholder farmers. The study went on to discover that, for the government to tackle poverty especially among the smallholder farmers, it is important to ensure that farmers do participate in the financial sector through saving, borrowing and taking out insurance among other services. So, it is important for the government of Zimbabwe to fully implement policies that encourage financial inclusion such as making sure that farmers find it easy to access financial institutions and encouraging financial institutions to review transaction costs like bank account opening charges periodically, implementing financial education programs among the farmers because these variables are important in influencing farmers to participate or preventing them from using financial services.

AbstractThere are opportunities but also worrisome trends as AI is applied in finance, insurance, and real estate. In these domains, persons are increasingly assessed and judged by machines. The financial technology (Fintech) landscape ranges from automation of office procedures, to new approaches for storing and transferring value, to the granting of credit. The Fintech landscape can be separated into “incrementalist Fintech” and “futurist Fintech.” Incrementalist Fintech uses data, algorithms, and software to complement professionals who perform traditional tasks of existing financial institutions. It promises financial inclusion, but this inclusion can be predatory, creepy, and subordinating. These forms of financial inclusion undermine their solvency, dignity, and political power of borrowers. Futurist Fintech’s promoters claim to be more equitable, but are likely to falter in their aspiration to substitute technology for key financial institutions. When used to circumvent or co-opt state monetary authorities, both incrementalist and futurist Fintech expose deep problems at the core of the contemporary digitization of finance.

Public service can be defined as providing services (serving) the needs of people or communities who have an interest in accordance with predetermined basic rules and procedures. Public services view the public as a service target so that they are expected to be able to provide the best dedication in serving a more selective and educative public, as well as managing public policies run by the public bureaucracy. In order to create this, an application of innovation is needed. Innovation is an application or an effort to bring new ideas into implementation with a fairly large change of steps, lasts quite a long time and is quite general in scale.

It is important to evaluate the impact of Ethiopia’s financial inclusion strategy since it has been launched in 2014. Accordingly, this paper assesses the extent to which the target has been met. The main aim of this study is to measure the success or failure of Ethiopia’s financial inclusion in comparison with other countries in East Africa. Using secondary data, this study revealed that Ethiopia’s financial inclusion is not as successful as other East African countries. This study also found that Ethiopians prefer informal saving clubs rather than formal financial organs. This preference, combined with unemployment and low income, is the barrier to the financial inclusion strategy. Based on the findings, identifying and addressing root causes should be done by removing distance, cost, credit, and documentation barriers. Moreover, the findings showed that access to public transit can also expand the reach of formal financial institutions by encouraging more people to physically access financial institutions. This study recommended access to formal financial organs as a core to financial institutions. Access to formal financial organs should be boosted through increasing financial institutions. Educating individuals about their financial circumstances were also recommended so that people can increase their formal saving uptake. This paper also recommended that the government develop regulatory guidelines for the functioning of financial institutions. The main outcome, therefore, is that financial institutions could be more transparent and predictable, reduce costs, and simplify the rules for entering the market.
