Abstract

Paddy is a strategic commodity that plays an important role in the economy and national food security. Fulfillment of rice for people’s needs is very important for Indonesia because the population continues to increase every year with a wide and spread geographical coverage. This increase in population has an impact on the demand for rice, which also increases. Until mid-2021, Indonesia is still importing rice from various countries to meet rice needs. Therefore, strategies and efforts are needed to increase paddy production so that it does not depend on imported activities which can drain the country’s foreign exchange. Agricultural activities around the world can be produced relatively well and sustainably only if there is a large energy input. In a sustainable context, integrated farming systems are considered as a breakthrough for sustainable agricultural systems. Previous research has tackled this problem by focusing on solutions to monoculture farming systems. This study aims to develop a simulation model to increase paddy production by implementing an integrated farming system as a scenario solution using a system dynamics approach. System dynamics was chosen because of its uniqueness which can simulate a complex and dynamic system. The results showed that the system dynamics approach can be used to model the current paddy production system well. Furthermore, through a predetermined improvement scenario, namely the application of an integrated farming system, paddy production and rice production can be increased by 15.26% and 15% respectively for the next 17 years.
