| Summary: | This research aims to analyze, 1) what is the appropriate intervention for the variables that form the pillars of desire which are still low. Sustainable agriculture has an important role in maintaining food security, in Indonesia itself food availability can overcome several challenges and threats that need to be overcome. Some of these challenges include population increase, where population growth continues to increase in Indonesia, which poses a threat to food availability. This research was conducted in South Central Timor Regency. The sample size in this research was to measure 23 farmer groups in South Central Timor Regency with 100 respondents based on the Slovin formula to measure the level of desire of each based on three pillars, namely economic, social and environmental. The sampling method used was snowball sampling. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews. The data analysis techniques used are Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis and Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA). The results of this research show that the desire for farming in South Central Timor Regency is multidimensional from three pillars of desire, namely economic, social and environmental at a medium desire index level. From the research results it can be concluded that the economic pillar gets 49.6 percent, the social pillar gets 57, 8 percent and the environmental pillar got 60.1 percent, which means that variations in the third pillar variable can be explained by the variables that form the third pillar. The economic pillar, social pillar and environmental pillar also positively and significantly shape sustainable farming in South Central Timor Regency, and of the 23 farmer groups there are three farmer groups that have sustainable farming performance in the low category while in the medium category there are nineteen farmer groups and there is one agricultural group in the high category. Based on the known results, the appropriate intervention is to strengthen indicators that are considered important by farmer groups in TTS Regency but implementation is still lacking, namely land productivity variables, technology and application of natural resources, integrated pest control and crop diversification, so real action is needed from TTS Regency government. |
