How Farmer Social Capital as Capital in Efforts to Increase Farmer Regeneration
Abstract
The interest of the younger generation to continue agriculture is a challenge for agricultural development, if there is no generation that continues agricultural business, it will be difficult to achieve sustainability. The Ministry of Agriculture noted that the absorption of agricultural labor tends to decrease. This study aims to explored and analyzed the social capital of generation X, generation Y and generation Z farmers in relation to farmer regeneration. The research was conducted in Sleman Regency, with a qualitative approach. Research informants 24 farmers, ranging from on farm and off farm. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman qualitative with Nvivo 12 analysis software. The results showed that social capital is an important aspect for farmers in running livestock farming businesses. Social capital shapers among generations dominate diversely, gen X is higher the norm, while gen Y and Z network. Gen X is mostly capable of bonding and bridging, but gen Y is the gene most capable of forming linking. Institutions that become a forum for intergenerational collaboration are needed to be able to work together, implementing upstream to downstream agribusiness management. Gen Y as an agent of change changes the mindset of farming is dirty and poor, and shows that the livestock agriculture sector is a prospective sector to increase the interest of the younger generation in agriculture and animal husbandry.
