Small Scale Farmer

Use of enhanced Information Communication Technology is among the key targets set forth in the 7th National Development Plan. Absence of a rigorous approval process has seen an increase in the number of ghost farmers benefiting from the Farmer Input Support Programme. The lack of a single pool of farmer and marketing information for technocrats makes decision making a near impossible task. This paper proposes a system for the capturing and management of farmer information using cloud infrastructure. Having this information will bring efficiency to the activities of farmer-facing bodies such as the Farmer Input Support Programme and the Food Reserve Agency.

This chapter is a case study that traces the life of a young artist farmer who developed a community-based educational farm. The case study illuminates networked connections between small-scale farming, a revitalized interest in handmade production, and a burgeoning desire for a living ethics rooted in direct engagements. This chapter reveals the breadth of the handmade revolution, tracing a singular example to investigate the desire to become a small-scale farmer; the network of apprenticing makers, farmers, and artists; the necessary participatory aestheticization of the farm as a marketing strategy and mode of cultural consumption; and the ethical complexity of sustaining the life of a young farmer in the current organic and locally-grown marketplace.

Small Scale Farmer

Most of beef cattle farmers in Indonesia are dominated by small-scale farmer with ownership of three heads per household, homever the existence of small-scal farmer is expected to contribute to the development of the livestock sectore as whole. The interview was conducted with the total respondent at 30 beef cattle farmers at Larangan Dalam and Panaguan Village, Larangan Sub-District, Pamekasan Regency. The majority of the respondents' age range is 46-50 years old, with male breeders dominating, namely 76.67%, with the most educational qualifications being elementary school, namely 46.67%. The age and education level significantly affect the adoption rate of new technology. The objectives of raising livestock include fattening, breeding, and savings. In summary, the socio-culture was acted as important support in small-scale business development. The correlation between each socio-culture with new adaptation was a help to increase productivity in the future.

Small Scale Farmer

Small-scale farmers in Tlogosari, Pagak, Malang have many limitations, especially economically. Instead of wanting to improve economic prosperity, small-scale farmer makes changes to the commodities they grow from sugar cane to sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L) or albizia). But the change in this commodity has an impact on changing the pattern of short to long harvests. This condition has increasingly resulted in the economic downturn of the farming family, coupled with the existence of the COVID-19 pandemic, making farmers increasingly powerless. This research focuses on the survival mechanism of small-scale farmers who switch commodities from sugar cane to sengon during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses James Scott's theory of the ethics of subsistence as a knife of analysis and uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research informants were determined by purposive sampling with the criteria of small-scale farmer informants who were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the change of sugarcane commodity to sengon. The price of sengon during the COVID-19 pandemic dropped dramatically due to many factories closed, so farmers are also confused looking for sengon buyers. This condition makes small-scale farmers feel like poor famine. Faced with such conditions, smallholders do survival by other work, namely making gatot, tiwul, and corn grits (ampok) as a profitable employment opportunity in the future of COVID-19

Small-scale fisheries have specific dynamics in the relationships between resource systems, governance systems and actors. In Galicia, this reality has a central point in the organization of fishermen and shell fishermen in the so-called Cofradías, associative entities with administrative recognition and participation in the fishery resources management. These organisations have a public-private nature, where members share and benefit from the use and exploitation of the marine resources.In this scenario, the paper studies the governance interactions in the small-scale fisheries of Galicia, based on the cofradías perceptions as governance actors. Specifically, the case study analyses the changes in the management of the activities developed by the cofradías, such as production and commercialization, and the influence of the Public Administration and other social entities in the organization. To advance these objectives, the institutional analysis frameworks are applied, specifically the socio-ecological system of E. Ostrom and the governability assessment framework of Jentoft and Chuenpagdee, which allow to study concrete realities without being limited to a specific structure.
