Overview

Qualitative study examines intercropping's role in reducing risk and fostering cooperation in agrarian communities, suggesting new pathways for stability.

Key Points

  • This research explores how intercropping serves as a social mitigation strategy in response to climate-driven challenges in agrarian Java.
  • Conducted comparative qualitative fieldwork in Gunungkidul Regency and Banten Province.
  • Analyzed the traditional Javanese intercropping system known as tumpangsari and its social implications.
  • Intercropping reduces dependence on single-crop rice harvests, thus distributing agricultural risk.
  • Facilitates informal resource-sharing mechanisms that help diffuse potential tensions within the community.
  • Demonstrates that while functional stability is achieved, unequal access to land persists under existing hierarchies.
