    Abstract

    The purpose of this research is to build a model of precision agriculture to increase the productivity of medium and small-scale agriculture in Indonesia. This research used a descriptive method by conducting a literature study on the concept of precision agriculture and analysis of data related to agriculture in Indonesia. Extreme weather changes in Indonesia have an impact on the decline in agricultural production. While an understanding of environmental conditions is the primary key to agriculture, this research explained what data is needed in precision agriculture, how to obtain and process data, also explained how to visualize information through geographic information systems. This research also conducted an assessment of the built model. The assessment process is implemented by analysing the suitability of the model based on farmers’ needs. The results of this study concluded that the model can be developed in the implementation phase. This research is expected to provide a clear explanation of the system requirements and also can reduce risk at the system development and implementation stage. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Abstract

    This study aims to uncover the factors that influence the emergence and sustainability of collective action of FOs. Furthermore, this study analyzes the effect of collective action on the increasing economies of scale and efficiency of FOs’ members. The content analysis method was applied in this research. The case study involved Farmers’ Organizations located in Kalangsuria Village, Rengasdengklok Sub-district, Karawang Regency. Much research has been conducted on Gabungan Kelompok Tani (Gapoktan) or Farmers’ Organizations (FOs) as farmers’ institutions that perform collective action in the agribusiness from the input process to the processing process. However, previous research has not much explored the factors influencing the emergence of agribusiness collective action in FOs. The limitation of previous research leads to the failure to understand the emerging issues of processes and mechanisms of collective action within FOs. Agribusiness activities carried out collectively by Gapoktan Sri Mulya are related to the social bonding and social bridging to a willingness to do agribusiness activities collectively. However, collective action in agribusiness production is not optimal, particularly in anticipating climate change. It was because the factors of human capital, such as education and knowledge of farmers in developing rice farming can also affect the efficiency of farming. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
