Enhancing Disaster Resilience through Sustainable Farming in Flood-Prone Areas of the Bengawan Solo Delta Areas

High-intensity flooding in Indonesia’s Bengawan Solo Delta, especially within the Ngawi region, threatens the sustainability of agricultural communities due to climate change impacts and unstable precipitation patterns. This research explores the implementation of sustainable agriculture as a disaster mitigation strategy to build resilience in flood-prone rural areas. Using a mixed-methods approach and the House of Risk (HoR) framework, the study identifies critical vulnerabilities and prioritizes necessary interventions. It was found that adopting sustainable practices such as intercropping, conservation tillage, and integrated pest management effectively improves soil health and mitigates flood damage. Moreover, the study emphasizes the vital role of community-based approaches that leverage local knowledge to support early warning systems and post-disaster recovery. The findings recommend integrating sustainable agriculture into disaster risk management policies as a dual solution to reduce vulnerability while ensuring food security and environmental preservation. This study offers an actionable framework for stakeholders to build community resilience against climate-related disasters.
