Apa itu pertanian skala kecil?
Abstract
Di Indonesia, tidak ada definisi yang jelas tentang apa itu pertanian skala kecil, meskipun itu adalah pertanian dalam skala yang lebih kecil, seperti namanya. Skalanya bisa berkisar dari blok rumah pinggiran kota yang besar hingga sekitar 10 hektar.
Pertanian skala kecil dibedakan tidak hanya oleh jumlah lahan yang mereka tempati. Mereka juga dikenal menggunakan teknologi mahal dengan hemat dan mengikuti standar pertanian organik secara ketat.
Sampai saat ini, sebagian besar pertanian organik skala kecil terutama untuk konsumsi pribadi. Pertanian skala kecil tidak dapat menjadi satu-satunya sumber pendapatan petani karena hasil yang lebih buruk dan biaya produksi yang jauh lebih tinggi (setidaknya jika dibandingkan dengan pertanian skala besar konvensional modern). Pertanian skala kecil, di sisi lain, menjadi lebih layak secara ekonomi karena permintaan akan barang-barang organik yang ditanam secara lokal telah melonjak.
