Demand for soybean in Indonesia keeps increasing along with population growth. So far, most of the domestic demand is fulfilled through soybean import. This study aims to analyze the prospect of soybean self-sufficiency in the perspective of its competitiveness against other secondary crops in Indonesia. The analysis method applied in this study is comparison of financial farm income between soybean farming against other secondary crops, namely corn, groundnut and mungbean. The results of analysis showed that soybean was not competitive compared to other secondary crops. This was indicated by relatively low farm income of soybean farming compared to those of corn, groundnut, and mungbean. Rational farmers would be expected to choose the more profitable crops rather than growing soybean. Therefore, without significant breakthroughs, the area planted with soybean and its production will keep decreasing. In other words, it is almost impossible to achieve self-sufficency in soybean.

In order to ensure self-sufficiency, the current pulses requirement in the country is estimated at 22.5 MT. Keeping in view the trends in population growth rate and that several other options besides pulses are now available for meeting protein requirements of the people due to change in food habits of masses, the pulse requirement in the country is projected at 32 MT by the year 2030 and 39 million tonnes by the year 2050. This necessitates an annual growth rate of 2.2% requiring a phenomenal shift in research, technology generation, its dissemination, and commercialization along with capacity building in frontier areas of research. In every five year interval productivity will have to be enhanced by an average of about 80 kg/ha over the previous one to achieve a final productivity rate of 950 kg/ha by the end of 2025 and 1335 kg/ha by the end of 2050. The above-stated projections have been made assuming that practically it will be feasible to increase about 4 million ha additional area under pulses. The current per capita availability is estimated at 41.6 g/capita/day which was quite low (31.8 g) in 2000. Cultivation of pulses on poor soils under rainfed conditions with minimum inputs and care subject these crops to severe yield losses not only due to edaphic, abiotic and socio-economic factors but also due to confounding effects of various biotic stresses. High influence of environmental factors and their interactions with genotype are the major production constraint in pulses which lead to a limited gain in terms of productivity in most of the pulses. Therefore, for increasing of production of pulses, intercropping systems found to more beneficial in comparison to sole cropping systems in respect to profitability and soil fertility.

The effects of climate change on agriculture raise major food security concerns. We use a global economy-wide model to assess the effects on farm product prices of expected yield changes. Also modelled is an expected adverse effect of higher temperatures and humidity in the tropics on the productivity of unskilled workers in developing countries. Given the degrees of uncertainty about plausible effects of climate change, our modelling accounts for a range of yield productivity and labor shocks. The results entail consequences for international agricultural prices, national food consumption, self sufficiency, net farm income and economic welfare.

The optimal yard utilization would support the family’s food independence a well-managed yard will provide benefits in improving family food self-sufficiency, nutrition, increasing family income, and making a beautiful, picturesque, and comfortable home environment. Efforts to build family food security in urban areas can be carried out through yard utilization on a narrow land. This study aims to determine the urban yard utilization and the members’ participation in it. The research was conducted in Bausasran Subdistrict in Yogyakarta City, employing a descriptive analysis method with 40 samples of Women Farmer Groups’ members. The research results revealed that community participation in urban yard utilization activities was classified as active. The community’s active participation was indicated by the existence of “Kampung Sayur Bausasran”, developed by establishing nursery gardens, creating group gardens, making vegetable aisles, cultivating medicinal plants, cultivating horticultural crops, and catfish farming. Vegetable villages can provide good results for community economic empowerment if managed optimally.

AbstractForest gardens (FGs) are tree-dominant land uses in Sri Lankan farming enterprises. Although FG financial performance has been described, their overall contributions to farming enterprises remain unclear. This information is critical given the global quest for financially viable, sustainable agricultural models. Farming enterprises include On-farm (land uses: FGs, paddy, cash crops, plantations, swidden/chena plots, livestock), Off-farm (employment, trading, grants, welfare) and household components. Forest garden financial performance was compared with other enterprise components in short-(reference year, 2012–2013) and long-terms (beyond 2013). Financial data were collected for 85 farming enterprises in nine locations of the Intermediate zone using Household Income and Expenditure surveys and quantified using accounting procedures. In the short-term, 49% of On-farm income was the value of household consumption while 54% of On-farm expense the value of household contributions. FGs contributed 29% to food and fuelwood self-sufficiency, generated the highest profit, were the most financially efficient land use, and average FG profit (Current assets) was greater than enterprise profit. In the long-term, FGs had the highest number of timber and fuelwood species (biological assets). Their average net realisable value (NRV) was 90% of total NRV for biological assets from all land uses. Since FGs occupied 68% of the study area, their substantial biological and land assets had high Non-Current asset values. Average FG Non-Current asset values accounted for 79% of Total Equity and were farmers' core ownership interest in enterprises. Forest gardens increase the financial viability of farming enterprises. Their financial contributions warrant recognition in national economic performance assessments.

Volterra’s model for population growth in a closed system consists in an integral term to indicate accumulated toxicity besides the usual terms of the logistic equation. Scudo in 1971 suggested the Volterra model for a population u(t) of identical individuals to show crowding and sensitivity to “total metabolism”: du/dt=au(t)-bu2(t)-cu(t)∫0tu(s)ds. In this paper our target is studying the existence and uniqueness as well as approximating the following Caputo-Fabrizio Volterra’s model for population growth in a closed system:  CFDαu(t)=au(t)-bu2(t)-cu(t)∫0tu(s)ds, α∈[0,1], subject to the initial condition u(0)=0. The mechanism for approximating the solution is Homotopy Analysis Method which is a semianalytical technique to solve nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations. Furthermore, we use the same method to analyze a similar closed system by considering classical Caputo’s fractional derivative. Comparison between the results for these two factional derivatives is also included.

Soybean is one of the strategic commodities. To fulfill the increasing of domestic demand, it must be supplied from imports because domestic production is unsufficient. In addition, lower price of imported soybean has effected in competition of domestic farmers to get profit. Demand of soybean in the international and domestic market has always increased. Indonesia has imported soybeans to fill domestic soybean demand. This condition will have an impact on the decline in farm income due to soybean import. The aims of this study were to analyze the level of private profitability and competitiveness of soybean farming in Grobogan Regency.This research used survey research method with number of samples taken through simple random sampling of 100 soybean farmers. Data were analyzed by Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The results showed that private profitability of soybean farming in Grobogan Regency was Rp1.690.393,22 per MT. Two indicators to measure the competitiveness were Private Cost Ratio (PCR) and Domestic Resources Cost Ratio (DRCR). PCR value was 0,75 which showed that soybean farming in Grobogan Regency was more competitive and Domestic Resources Cost Ratio (DRCR) showed 0,88. It showed that soybean farming had a comparative advantage.
