Abstract

Abstract This study investigates the potential incorporation of sustainable technology to enhance the production and income of coffee farmers in Tana Toraja Regency, Indonesia. Employing a survey methodology, the research was conducted from January to December 2019 in the Lembang Pemanukan area of the Gandang Batu Silanan District within Tana Toraja Regency. The respondents, totaling 30 farmers, were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The results of the investigation reveal that the implementation of sustainable technology leads to a significant increase in both coffee production levels and the income of the farmers. Nevertheless, factors such as land constraints and production expenses impact the rate of technology adoption. Despite the high level of farmer acceptance, complete optimization is impeded by these challenges. In the study, it is emphasized how important it is to give farmers new motivation and offer them all the assistance they need to adopt sustainable technology. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of enhancing access to resources and markets to further augment productivity and income. The research also highlights the significance of crafting sustainable agricultural models tailored to local circumstances and resource availability. In conclusion, this research illustrates the favorable influence of technology adoption in coffee farming in Tana Toraja and advocates for comprehensive assistance to maximize its potential.
