Overview

Mixed-methods survey demonstrates environmental degradation from upstream vegetable farming among Indonesian smallholders, highlighting the need for eco-friendly practices and resource management.

Key Points

To examine the characteristics of upstream agricultural practices and assess their socioeconomic and environmental impacts on watershed sustainability.
Conducted a mixed-methods survey combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative insights.
Sampled 500 smallholder farmers across 22 villages within 14 sub-districts in Bandung and West Bandung Regencies, West Java Province, Indonesia.
Farmers were predominantly productive adults with elementary school education who cultivated vegetable commodities utilizing monoculture and intercropping methods on steep slopes.
Financial limitations and acute land scarcity compelled farmers to cultivate state-owned forests and plantations using environmentally damaging techniques.
Agricultural practices contributed directly to critical land degradation, river pollution, landslide-induced silting, and reduced lifespan of the Saguling reservoir.
