Comprehensive Analysis of Farming Systems Approach (FSA) Methodology

1. FARMING SYSTEM ANALYSIS (FSA)

2. DEFINITION • Farming system is a complex inter-related matrix of soils, plants, animals, implements, labour and capital, inter-dependent farming enterprises. • The farm is viewed in a holistic manner (multi-disciplinary approach)

3. CONCEPT Simmonds (1984) clarified the FSA as follows: • It is an academic activity comprising of theory, concepts, principles and approaches • It creates an opportunity for developing diversified models for different types and categories of farmers • New farming system models can be developed by means of on-farm research and extension

4. Biggs (1985) explained the concept of FSA as follows: • FSA requires commonly homogenous type of farmers • It is an inter-disciplinary approach • It is a participatory and bottom-up planning • It is an approach to developing farm household systems • It is built on the principles of productivity, profitability, stability and sustainability • Complements component oriented approach to development

5. Pengertian FSA • FSA adalah upaya untuk memahami struktur dan fungsi suatu sistem usaha tani terpadu, menganalisis constraints yang ada dan akhirnya merumuskan solusi untuk mengatasi constraints yang ada

6. Tujuan FSA • Untuk meningkatkan produktivitas,stabilitas, equitabilitas dan sustainabilitas usaha tani pertanian • Untuk mengurangi resiko kegagalan • Untuk mengurangi resiko kerusakan lingkungan/sumberdaya pertanian

7. Bidang yg ditangani dalam FSA • Sistem usahatani  sistem yang komplek • Banyak bidang yang terlibat (fisik,ekologi,biologi,sosek,bud dan politik) • Multidispliner • Bekerja bersama-sama dlm mengamati, menganalisis, dan merumuskan permasalahan dan pemecahannya berdasarkan sudut pandangan dari berbagai bidang

8. Kelemahan FSA • Solusi yg ditawarkan hanya dapat menyelesaikan permasalahan secara sebagian-sebagian • Ada kemungkinan penyelesaian masalah yang satu dapat bertentangan dengan permasalahan lain

9. Kriteria FSA • Produktifitas rasio input dan ouput • Stabilitas stabil & tahan thp gangguan yg timbul • Equitabilitas dampak/produksi/manfaat us.tani hrs dpt dinikmati sebag.besar masyarakat • Sustainabilitas Berkelanjutan, sepanjang masa berproduksi

10. Tahapan FSA • Diagnosis thp kondisi fisik,biologi, sosek, constraints (Analisis SWOT) • Desain • Experiment • Diseminasi

11. METHODOLOGY • Analysis of existing farming system • Identification of major socio-economic situations • Understanding dominant enterprises and most common farming systems • Analysis of economic viability of existing farming systems • Understanding relationship between different enterprises within the system • Analysis of linkages between different farming systems

12. II. Understanding the modifications made in existing farming system by innovative farmers • Understanding the changing scenario in rural areas and its impact on existing farming system • Identification of new market opportunities and its impact and relevance to socio-economic situation • Suitable modification made by innovative farm families in existing farming system • Type of modification made ( diversification or intensification of the enterprises)

13. New options recommended by the researchers • Identification of new suggested options by researchers around each dominant enterprise • Understanding the technological details about new options

14. Economic analysis of recommended options : • Analysis of relative profitability of recommended options as compared to existing farming system • Understanding of implications of each options with regard to reallocation of resource

15. Testing of recommended options • Selecting representative village / farm families • Training about technical skills • Testing the effectiveness of recommended options

16. DISKUSI • Pilih satu sistem pertanian terpadu yang ada • Analisis sistem pertanian tsb (Analisis SWOT) • Buat Rancangan pemecahan masalah pada sistem pertanian yang Saudara pilih!
