- Abstract
The livelihood approach is a popular concept for identifying the nexus between environmental and social entities. Strategies for sustainable livelihoods are usually used to achieve successful rural development related to food security, realize social equity and sensitivity to environmental integrity. The research uses the livelihood strategy approach to assess the farmer’s acceptance in cultivating new rice variety “Inpago Unsoed 1,” to increase the national rice productivity and community empowerment. The research was conducted in three sub-districts in Banyumas District, Central Java, Indonesia, from March 2nd until 28th 2021. The results show that economic and social components need to be increased since these components play an essential role in the success of farmers’ development in accepting new rice varieties “Inpago Unsoed 1”. In contrast, the other components, i.e., biophysical, cultural, and psychological, have less concern. Nevertheless, the effort of farmers to strive from poverty and hunger is not only done by providing their needs but also the surrounding environment that supports livelihood.
