Abstract:

The rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization worldwide has exacerbated the scarcity of arable land resources, highlighting the critical need for sustainable development. To achieve this, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the efficiency of cultivated land use. Besides, in Indonesia, rice farming plays a vital role in providing food for the population. While the green revolution program initiated in 1968 has increased rice productivity, it has also negatively impacted the environment and decreased productivity. Hence, the current study aims to examine the influence of sustainable agricultural technologies, including the system of rice intensification, organic farming, and integrated pest management, in enhancing rice productivity, further leading to the enhanced socio-economic development of a nation. This study applied a quantitative research methodology using SmartPLS 3.0 to analyze data collected from the farmers at local administrative levels of a provinces of Indonesia. The study suggests that implementing sustainable agricultural technologies, such as SRI, organic farming, and integrated pest management, can increase productivity while supporting economic activities in upstream and downstream sectors. The government and other stakeholders are recommended to prioritize ecological and environmental aspects when considering the adoption of new agricultural technologies.
