Assessing Multidimensional Resilience of Farming System: Insight from Shallot Farming at Various Agro-Ecological Zones in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Öz

Farming resilience is vital for farmers' ability to survive and thrive amidst various disruptions. This study evaluates shallot farming resilience in Yogyakarta Province through dimensions of adaptability, recoverability, anticipation, and innovation. Shallot is designated as a national strategic commodity; however, it is also very vulnerable to various uncertainties, including price instability, inefficient distribution, and limited farmer technology. Based on its geographic location, there are three distinct agro-ecological zones (coastal, highland, and lowland areas) that contribute to shallot production in Yogyakarta Province. Therefore, it is important to understand the resilience of shallot farming by considering the differences in agro-ecological zones. A total of 316 farmers from three different agro-ecological zones were surveyed. This study employed a quantitative descriptive analysis method. The main findings revealed that 52.53% of shallot farming in Yogyakarta Province are classified as less resilient. Based on agro-ecological zones, only 37.5% of shallot farming on coastal area are categorized as less resilient. Conversely, the majority of shallot farming in lowland area (66.67%) are categorized as less resilient. Similarly, 52.88% of shallot farming in the highland area are categorized as less resilient. According to the resilience score, shallot farming in coastal area is the most resilient in Yogyakarta, compared to other agro-ecological zones. The further findings indicate that shallot farmers are innovative and have very good recoverability. However, their adaptability and anticipation capabilities are in the moderate category. The findings provide a comprehensive overview for policymakers to maintain and enhance the resilience and sustainability of farming businesses in the future.
