Energy Consumption and Sustainability Analysis in Organic Farming Systems on Arabica Coffee in Rural Farmer Latimojong Mountain in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 07
Abstract
This study aims to explore the perception of Arabica coffee farmers in South Swahili regarding the balance of energy consumption with sustainability in organic farming systems. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions with farmers and local government. Research results show that although farmers have a high awareness of the importance of organic farming practices, they face a variety of constraints, including a lack of technical knowledge and adequate resources. The findings also indicate that manual innovation in the use of organic materials and collaborative efforts among farmers are key strategies in overcoming energy constraints. The study supports the theory of diffusion of innovation and sustainable transitions by emphasizing the need for comprehensive educational interventions as well as proactive policy support. In addition, the research enriches literature on organic farming and provides practical insights for policymakers to develop more effective programmes for Arabica coffee farmers. Recommendations for further research include expanding geographical coverage, using mixed methods, and focusing on the long-term impact of organic farming practices on economic and environmental sustainability.
