| Popis: | Climate change can have adverse impact on rice as it depends much on precipitation and temperature. In recent years, due partly to climate change, rice farming becomes riskier to failure and less competitive than other crops, so many farmers have left rice farming. This study aimed to determine the major drivers responsible for crop shifting from rice to horticultural production. The study was conducted in Abenggi village of South Konawe Regency in Southeast Sulawesi. Interview and Focus Group Discussions (FGC) were used to collect data and information. Data were analyzed using pairwise comparison method. Study results indicated that the pull factors were more dominant than the push factors. Five most important crop shifting drivers were high farm returns, lower risk of failure, high market demand from horticultural production, and high risk of failure and inadequate water supply from rice farming. Horticulture farming provides more benefits than rice farming in income generation and local economic growth, but abandoning rice fields might compromise food security promotion efforts in the long run. The government and all stakeholders should understand all these drivers to adopt integrated policies and programs in pursuing development objectives of food security promotion, poverty alleviation, and rural development to achieve sustainable development |
