ABSTRACT
It is believed that small-scale farmer is one of essential components in green economic development. In the case of Indonesia, there are approximately 14.25 million (55.33%) of farmers categorized as small-scale who have land tenure of less than 0.5 hectare averagely. Those farmers are necessarily empowered particularly towards green economic development. The study was conducted in December 2014 in two districts (Bandung and Garut) of West Java province. Three sub-districts were purposively selected representing typology of small-scale farmers. It was found that the empowerment of small-scale farmers should be based on its typology which can be clustered into three-group namely subsistence-oriented small-scale farmers, commercial small-scale farmers, and small-scale farmers in transition. Hence, it is recommended that the empowerment of subsistence typology focuses on optimizing the use of limited land size. Meanwhile, the empowerment of commercial typology is implemented through fostering the commercialization benefited for small-scale farmers. Moreover, the core empowerment of transition typology is in the form of improving the skill capacity supporting off-farm agriculture. Those should be initially started from capacity development through education and training both technical (farm operation) and non-technical (managerial) based on green economic development context. Indeed, it is necessary to involve young generation in order to keep sustaining the transformation of green economic development in Indonesia.

ABSTRACT
Increased productivity of rice through proper cultivation techniques such as the application of SRI method is proven to increase rice production. If there is no yield losses due to pests and diseases that high productivity can be maintained so that food security will be realized. Control of potential techniques developed is to use microorganisms ryzobacteria indigenus P. fluorescent, B. thuringiensis, and S. marcescens which is better known as biocontrol agents for control of pests and also has the potential to control seed borne diseases. Ryzobacteria is a bacteria that lives in the soil and are semi anaerobic, allowing these bacteria to live and breed in rice paddies with SRI method of cultivation. Research germination test done Payakumbuh Politani biology laboratory from February to July 2015. Tests conducted on seed germination infected with the pathogen H. oryzae then treated with ryzobacteria. Once it is planted in the home screen and the observed intensity of the brown spot disease. Seed treatment with ryzobacteria on rice seeds infected with brown spot disease caused by the fungus H. oryzae can increase the percentage of germination when compared without giving ryzobacteria and significantly different according DNMRT test at 5% level, there is no interaction between giving ryzobacteria and infection ryzobacteria seed against the percentage of seed germination . Seed treatment with ryzobacteria on rice seeds infected with brown spot disease caused by the fungus H. oryzae can reduce the intensity of the brown spot disease when compared without giving ryzobacteria and significantly different according DNMRT test at 5% level, there is no interaction between giving ryzobacteria and infection ryzobacteria seed the intensity of brown spot disease.

ABSTRACT
Milk industry faced several problems. In the downstream, the problems were lack of feeder cattle, low of productivity, the feed price was high, small-scale industry and un-skilled labour. In the middle-process, the problems were recording system was low, traditional technology, grazing area was limited, lack of working capital and managerial problem. Further, the problem in the upstream were price of feeder cattle was fluctuated and price of milk was low. Because of very complicated problems that mention above, the progress of milk industry is very slow and they only fulfilled 27% of national demand. The goals of this research were 1) To understand the characteristic of dairy cow industry in East Java, 2) to identify and map the main actors involved in the core processes of milk commodity chain in East Java, 3) to observe the principal function of the actors as well as the interaction among the actor. and 4) To analyse the strategy for strengthening dairy cow commodity chain. The research was conducted in Pasuruan and Probolinggo Residence. The number of respondent was 81 persons that consist of input supplier, farmer, trader and processor. The analytical tools were descriptive, actor network analysis, and commodity chain analysis.The results of the research were: 1) During 2006-2013, average dairy cow population in East Java increased 10% per year, 2) The core processes in dairy farming system are input provision, raising, milking, transportation and marketing, 3) the bargaining position of input supplier and farmer were less than the trader and processor. The recommendations were: 1) it was needed to improve the bargaining position of input supplier and farmer through revitalization of the commodity chain in milk industry, 2) the government should force the farmer institution through improving of the farmer cooperatives.

ABSTRACT
One of the efforts to reduce the negative impact of leachate waste in the environment uses adaptive plants with waste in constructed wetlands (CWs), because the method does not require high operating costs and environmentally friendly.The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of the thickness of sand media and the density of Typha angustifolia L against the COD content of waste leachate pollutants removal efficiency in CWs. This research method uses a split plot design at laboratory scale. A statistical test uses linear additive of variance analysis for a randomized group with two factors and one dependent variable. The results of the study of the average influent COD content at the level of between 495.5 mg/L to 598.56 mg/L after experiencing sequential time (7, 9, 11 and 13) days in CWs decrease to 21.83 mg/L to 68.74 mg/L. There is not a significantly (p = 0.158> 0.05) influence the thickness of sand media to the COD removal. The COD removal efficiency is significantly (p = 0.00 <0.05) influenced by the density of Typha angustifolia L plant. The highest removal efficiency is selected on density 36 plants/m2, occurring in the thickness of sand media of 55 cm with the removal at the level of between 88.99 % to 95.96 %.

ABSTRACT
Degraded lands is one of many problems in agriculture development in Indonesia. Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota is a district in West Sumatera Province that still have large areas of degraded lands, and in this study, these degraded lands will be used as sample. One of the causes of the emergence or existence of degraded lands is the practicing of land management that is not environmental-safe. The environmental-unsafe land management includes, uncontrolled traditional farming methods, long dry season or the absence of proper irrigation. The main goal of this study is to find real condition in surveillance area and to map degraded lands in Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota, data modelling plan to know the level of its criticality which identify by aerial imagery, and potentials of surrounding areas. By modelling these data, we can develop several strategies that can be used to change the status of the lands from degraded to productive.

ABSTRACT
Quantification of soil erosion rate is an important basic to investigate and improve land use system in Indonesia which has not been sufficiently conducted. In this study, we have tried to clarify spatial distribution of 3D soil erosion and dominant erosion factor controlling loss or redistribution of soil sediment in order to efficiently discuss the sustainable management of Pasaman watershed where is a main palm oil plantation producing area in Sumatra Island. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and Erosion Three Dimension (E3D) in Surfer tool were used to identify characteristic of dominant factor in Pasaman Watershed using data soil survey and watershed characteristic. Soil erosion in Pasaman watershed is affected by topography (LS) factor and soil erodibility (K) factor in long-term period. At present, erosion is accelerated by change in cover crop (C) factor, soil conservation practices (P) factor and high rainfall erosivity (R). Estimated soil erosion rate was generally higher in upper than in lower topographical positions. It possibly enhanced the redistribution of soil, especially fine soil particles, and might contribute to degraded water quality at river and sea water as outlet of Pasaman watershed. Annual average soil erosion for Pasaman watershed was 427.23 ton/ha/y in 2014 where exceed tolerable erosion 35,47 ton/ha/y. Average concentrations of PO4-P and NO3-N in sea water in the outlet of Pasaman Watershed ranged from 0.05-1.88 mg/L and 0-2.90 mg/L from 2014, respectively. PO4-P exceeded level standard by Indonesia. Natural factor, including heavy rainfall, local soil properties and land use change in a landscape susceptible to soil erosion were the fundamental factor responsible for the high soil erosion in the watershed. The USLE model in Surfer tool was used to identify specific region susceptible to soil erosion by water and was also applied to identify suitable sites to conduct soil conservation and agroecological land use planning in Pasaman watershed.

ABSTRACT
Three cases that we have studies in Sri Lanka and Maldives illustrate the socio-economic factors and the role of climate change in water scarcity and flooding. The trade-offs, spatial and time scale issues and climate risk and sustainability shall be discussed. First, at a national and district scale in Sri Lanka, we find that there is a strong relationship between climate based drought incidences and drought disaster declarations and relief payments. The details of how these indices are derived and the cross-comparisons with disasters shall be presented. This case demonstrates that even in a country with political conflict, and with government systems under stress that climate drives drought disaster relief. Second, in a rapidly urbanizing region in Sri Lanka, we find that climate is not a driver of the rise in flooding in a sub-catchment (PingaOya) of the Mahaweli River. While there is a relationship between weather and flooding, the rising frequency of floods is not correlated with climate change. Rather anthropogenic activities and poor enforcement of regulations is the cause of floods. Third, in the Maldives, the new government is seeking to move away from climate dependence by encouraging its people to move from water sustenance through encouraging the young to migrate from the approximately 190 islands they inhabitto the HulhumaleIsland where it is constructing desalination plants to provide water. This means that there is higher level of dependence on water supply services. In November 2014 there was a week-long breakdown of the water supply.
