This article discussed about the conversion of agricultural land into other uses is one of the occurrences that has occurred fairly often in recent years. The method utilized with the purposive sampling , including but not limited to certain criteria that have been established. The informants that participated in this research were ten (10) individuals who were chosen based on a variety of factors. The kind of data that was utilized was qualitative data of a certain kind (descriptive). The result of this research is the factors that influence land use change: I external factors, which include economics and demographics, which cause the conversion of community citrus plantations to oil palm plantations under the pretext of abundant yields and income, in order to meet the daily needs of the community; (ii) internal factors, where farmers are greatly aided by the presence of this type of palm tree, due to its high productivity; and (iii) internal factors, which cause the conversion of community citrus plantations to oil palm plant Economically, the conversion of citrus farms to oil palm plantations has had a positive effect since the revenue from oil palm farming is higher than that from citrus farming.

Abstract: Generally, this paper describe the disintegration of agricultural institution in urban periphery area in Kabupaten Bogor, as a result of the increasing of conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural area. The study was implemented in Desa Babakan, which characterized by the existence of changing of farmlands. The method used was mixmethod, by combining quantitative and qualitative method. Quantitative and qualitative data collections were conducted simultaneously, and then being analyzed as qualitative sing NVivo and quantitative using Spearman Rank correlation using SPSS. The result shows that shifting land use in Desa Babakan influenced by internal and external factors. Moreover, the change of land use affected on the disintegration of agricultural institutions, that statistically shown by the correlation between land use change and agricultural institutions in the area. Intisari: Tulisan ini secara umum hendak memaparkan terjadinya peluruhan kelembagaan pertanian di wilayah periphery perkotaan, tepatnya di Kabupaten Bogor sebagai dampak dari meningkatnya alih fungsi lahan pertanian ke non-pertanian.

This study was designed to describe the economic situation of rural households that focus on agricultural land and the role of women in Pangkal Village, Sawoo District. This study uses qualitative data analysis activities carried out in the field and even in conjunction with the process of data conversion in in-depth interviews, data reduction. Conclusions are drawn if the data collected is considered sufficient and considered complete. The number of samples taken from land bag farmers consisted of women who directly worked on the land bags themselves. The results of this study illustrate the economy in Pangkal Village, Sawoo District, with the contribution of land use in Tasen which greatly helps improve the economy of the community, involving the participating government, by providing seed subsidies, fertilizer and rental freedom from the Department of Forestry, so that the community can benefit. In this case the role of women is a double workload. They are able to hoe, irrigate plants, weed grass, provide fertilizer, care for plants, harvest crops and sell them. For them "work as a choice" for the fulfillment of family life needs.

A study was conducted in the Sabal area, Sarawak, to evaluate the physicochemical properties of sandy-textured soils under smallholder agricultural land uses. Study sites were established under rubber, oil palm, and pepper land uses, in comparison to the adjacent secondary forests. The sandy-textured soils underlain in all agricultural land uses are of Spodosols, based on USDA Soil Taxonomy. The soil properties under secondary forests were strongly acidic with poor nutrient contents. Despite higher bulk density in oil palm farmlands, soil properties in rubber and oil palm land uses showed little variation to those in secondary forests. Conversely, soils under pepper land uses were less acidic with higher nutrient contents at the surface layer, especially P. In addition, soils in the pepper land uses were more compact due to human trampling effects from regular farm works at a localized area. Positive correlations were observed between soil total C and soil total N, soil exchangeable K, soil sum of bases, and soil effective CEC, suggesting that soil total C is the determinant of soil fertility under the agricultural land uses. Meanwhile, insufficient K input in oil palm land uses was observed from the partial nutrient balances estimation. In contrast, P and K did not remain in the soils under pepper land use, although the fertilizers application by the farmers was beyond the crop uptake and removal (harvesting). Because of the siliceous sandy nature (low clay contents) of Spodosols, they are poor in nutrient retention capacity. Hence, maintaining ample supply of organic C is crucial to sustain the productivity and fertility of sandy-textured soils, especially when the litterfall layers covering the E horizon were removed for oil palm and pepper cultivation.

Since the covid-19 outbreak lurks throughout the world economy is no exception to the Indonesian agricultural sector. Small farmers began to have difficulty in marketing the products grown, emerging agricultural startup institutions that utilize technology to maintain farmers' economic sustainability. Agricultural startups in Indonesia have not been able to have a model that strengthens actors in it; the actor is a reformer agent. in this study, we wanted to create a new model in strengthening reforming agents at agricultural startups. We surveyed two different ways: (a) meet directly with respondents and use health protocols who can be found; and (c) by charging via online Google form to respondents who cannot be found. In total, we conducted 144 surveys out of the actors we initially identified as relevant. The study reveals to know variable support of internal factors, external factors, and the role of reforming agents have a real and positive effect on strengthening the institutional capacity of agricultural startups in the agricultural industry 4.0 era. The model of strengthening the role of reforming agents in startups in the agricultural industry 4.0 era is necessary for looking at the state of startups, internal and external factors of reforming agents, the role of reforming agents, and their influence on strengthening capacity occurring in startups to produce strategies in strengthening agent of change. The findings will guide the agriculture startup in achieving its vision of creating the perfect strategy for agent of change.
