Sustainable Agriculture Policy Direction of Central Java Province by 2025

The agricultural sector in Central Java is essential to the regional economy, as it provides employment, supplies sustenance, and makes a substantial contribution to the Regional Gross Domestic Product (RGDP). Nevertheless, this industry encounters significant obstacles like climate fluctuation, restricted technological progress, and insufficient infrastructure. This study examines the future orientations of sustainable agricultural policies in Central Java until 2025, specifically focusing on enhancing resource efficiency, conserving the environment, and adapting to climate change. The study utilizes a qualitative descriptive methodology, which includes conducting in-depth interviews with stakeholders, analyzing policy documents, and making field observations. The data were gathered from primary and secondary sources, such as interviews, official documents, and scholarly publications. Thematic analysis techniques were employed to examine the data and uncover significant patterns and themes. The findings suggest sustainable agriculture policies include implementing intelligent irrigation technology, accepting climate-resistant high-quality seeds, and establishing organic marketplaces. Enhancing competitiveness and productivity in agriculture is contingent upon applying cutting-edge technologies and providing continuous education for farmers. The policies also stress the significance of conserving biodiversity, mitigating adverse environmental effects, and establishing a sustainable agriculture industry. In Central Java, implementing these sustainable agricultural policies is expected to boost agricultural productivity, enhance the well-being of farmers, promote food security, and preserve the environment in the long run.
