Unraveling Farmer Empowerment: The Role of Socioeconomic and Institutional Factors in Sustainable Agriculture

Öz

Empowering farmers is essential for achieving sustainable agriculture, particularly in rural regions who depend on this sector as their primary means of subsistence. Given the increasing challenges in the agricultural sector, such as the dynamic market conditions and limited access to modern technology, there is a pressing need to identify and implement strategic interventions that enhance farmer empowerment. This study seeks to elucidate the impact of diverse elements, such as farmer motivation, local resources, cultural context, infrastructure, subsidy programs, agricultural cooperatives, the role of facilitators, and coffee-livestock integration on the degree of farmer empowerment. The analysis involved 168 farmers as respondents and using the fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) approach to discover factor combinations that correlate with varying levels of empowerment by evaluates the interaction among the determinant factors and determines the unique configurations that drive either high or low levels of empowerment. The findings indicate that the integration of appropriate local resources, the presence of active agricultural cooperatives, and a well managed crop-livestock integration system positively influences farmer production and economic stability. Robust infrastructure and focused subsidy policies enhance farmer competitiveness in the agriculture industry. Nonetheless, the influence of facilitators is not universally predominant, as there are instances where farmers attain significant empowerment despite minimal facilitator engagement. This study emphasizes the significance of a multi-faceted strategy in formulating more successful tactics for farmer empowerment. These findings are anticipated to provide a reference for policymakers and stakeholders in formulating policies that better align with farmers' demands, therefore enhancing the resilience and sustainability of the agricultural industry over the long term.
