The background of this study stems from a number of issues, including the inability of oil palm farmers to make ends meet financially, the impact of their reliance on oil palm income on the well-being of their families, and the relationship between oil palm farmers' income and the price at which Palm Fruit Bunches (FFB) are sold in Nagari Bawan, Kabupaten Agam. Nonetheless, a lot of farmers continue to struggle with a shortage of funding when it comes to running oil palm plantations and boosting the output of palm fruit bunches (FFB). A qualitative descriptive research approach is used, and it involves gathering research objects based on field data. Direct observation and interviews with oil palm farmers in Nagari Bawan, Kabupaten Agam, were used to gather data. The Nagari Bawan administration (Nagari Secretariat) and thirteen oil palm plantation owners were the research's primary sources of information about the circumstances and state of the study in Nagari Bawan, Kabupaten Agam. According to the author's study findings in Nagari Bawan, Kabupaten Agam, income indicators such as monthly income, employment, and family responsibilities may be used to analyze oil palm farmers' income in order to improve the economic welfare of their families. This indicates that oil palm growers are looking for side employment since their revenue is insufficient to cover their expenses.

. Padi (Oryza sativa) merupakan salah satu tanaman pangan utama di dunia, menempati urutan ketiga setelah jagung dan gandum. Di Asia Tenggara, khususnya Indonesia, sekitar 80% penduduknya menjadikan nasi sebagai makanan pokok. Namun, setiap tahunnya petani mengalami kegagalan panen hingga 37% akibat serangan hama dan penyakit, menurut International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membantu petani mengatasi penyakit pada tanaman padi dengan mengembangkan sistem klasifikasi otomatis menggunakan algoritma YOLO (You Only Look Once). Penelitian ini mengklasifikasikan empat jenis kondisi daun padi: Bacterial leaf blight, leaf smut, brown spot, dan daun padi sehat. Dataset yang digunakan berjumlah 661 gambar, dibagi menjadi 70% untuk data pelatihan, 10% untuk data validasi, dan 20% untuk data pengujian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akurasi terbaik pada pelatihan dicapai pada epoch ke-300 dengan akurasi sebesar 77%. Pengujian menggunakan confusion matrix juga menunjukkan akurasi rata-rata sebesar 77%. Algoritma YOLO terbukti efektif dalam mengklasifikasikan penyakit pada daun padi, memberikan solusi yang akurat dan efisien bagi petani dalam mengelola tanaman mereka.

Pakis Village is one of the areas in Jember Regency that has quite extensive plantation land and there are still many agricultural activities carried out by the community in their daily lives. The existence of ties between durian farmers, tourism managers, and pioneers of durian tourism villages will certainly lead to gradual interaction called embeddedness. Oversocialized arises due to a shared awareness in which durian farmers and managers both want to benefit from what they are trying to do as a form of meeting individual economic needs, while undersocialized arises due to the lack of interaction carried out by durian farmers and managers with pioneers during commodity buying and selling activities. The results of this study indicate the existence of oversocialized and undersocialized in Durian Tourism Pakis Village, Panti District, Jember Regency.

One of the benefits of using a farmer card is to access subsidized fertilizers. Farmer cards are those programmed by the government and can function to ease all farmers' affairs in making loans, transactions, savings and regarding the acquisition of subsidized fertilizers. This research was motivated by problems in the farmer card program which according to the community was less useful for them, especially in terms of accessing fertilizer. The farmer card is expected to be able to overcome the problem of fertilizer distribution that is not on target and is expected to be able to provide welfare for every farmer owned by farmers with the fertilizer obtained, so that the farm that is run produces satisfactory production for the farmers themselves. The results showed that, on average, the number of farmers who did not understand the farmer card was 60%, while those who understood the farmer card were 37%. This is due to the lack of socialization from related agencies, causing a lack of understanding of farmers towards the farmer card program, especially given the fact there are some farmers who have not studied at all. This farmer card has also not been benefited by farmers, so farmers have difficulty getting subsidized fertilizer and have to spend expensive costs to obtain fertilizer.

Law No. 19 of 2013 on the Protection and Empowerment of Farmers aims to improve farmers' welfare through various programs, including fertilizer subsidies. However, the distribution of subsidized fertilizers often faces issues such as misallocation, delays, and misuse. The Farmer Card (Kartu Tani), an innovation to facilitate the distribution of subsidized fertilizers, has significant potential to address these problems. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Farmer Card in the distribution of subsidized fertilizers, identify the challenges faced by farmers in its use, and propose solutions for the optimization of the Farmer Card. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review, this study finds that the main challenges include technical issues, lack of socialization, bureaucratic hurdles, and farmers' distrust of new technology. Proposed solutions include enhancing technological infrastructure, providing intensive training for farmers, and simplifying administrative procedures. The study's results indicate that improvements in these aspects can enhance the effectiveness and transparency of subsidized fertilizer distribution through the Farmer Card.
