| Research Abstract |
Recent development of intensive farming in highland areas in Southeast Asia has created new problems of ecosystem destruction, food safety and health, but production efficiency amoung small farmers remains rather low, resulting in rural poverty. It is therefore vitally important to establish a produciton system, which is ecologically sound and economically viable, or eco-eco farming system, for the promotion of sustainable agricultural development. This research project aimed at the clarification of probllems and directions in establishing such eco-eco farming in Indonesian highlands. The project focused on temperate vegetable farming areas in Indonesia, Desa Candi Kuning in Tabanan, Bali, which is located around 1,200 to 1,500 m above sea level. A questionnaire survey was conducted in 1997, and detailed information on vegetable farm management and cultivation technology, such as land tenure, land use, cropping patterns, input-output data, cost and returns, water management, soil management, and weed distribution and utilization were collected from a sample of 195 farmers. Relevant information on marketing practice, vegetable and input prices, as well as farm household economy were also collected. In addition, a total of 30 farmers were surveyed in Cipanas, West Java, in order to clarity the significance of vegetable inter-cropping systems. This was followed by a series of vegetable cultivation experimetns, soil structure survey, weed distribution survey, and green manure crop cultivation experiment were conductd in the study village in Bali. Research results include a final report, several journal papers, and two posters in Indonesian which are to introduce bokashi fertilizer and ecologically sound pest control measures.
