Abstract
Fluviomarine rice field is a type of agricultural land resulting from past marine activity processes with alluvium deposition material. This study specifically discusses the productivity of the rice field agricultural system by linking the physical components of the land based on the characteristics of geomorphological conditions (physiography, soil type, elevation contour, slope, and land use) with social interactions by local farmers. This study wants to analyze the productivity of the fluviomarine rice field farming system on agricultural income in Mojowarno village. This study uses 72 households data sample with the cluster random sampling method, which is based on the fluviomarine form cluster unit. The data analysis used a descriptive quantitative analysis. The results of this study are the fluviomarin rice fields farming system inMojowarno Village is a rainfed farming system with a planting frequency of only 2 times a year. Meanwhile, the average productivity of the land was only 5,307 tons /hectar, while the average income received by farmers was only Rp 5,879,631.00 /year. The regression statistical test results show that farmers’ income is significantly influenced by land productivity. This study is expected to be used as a reference in preparing the development strategy for increasing farmer’s income.

This study aims to analyze the fluviomarine rice fields agricultural system, to analyze theproduction and productivity of the fluviomarine rice fields, to analyze the agricultural income received by farmers, and to analyze the effect of fluviomarine rice fields productivity on agricultural income
Summary
Agriculture is one of the important sectors in an economic development. This occurs becauseagriculture functions as a food supply and job opportunities for residents in rural areas. The agricultural systems developed in Indonesia are wetland systems, moorlands, yards, and plantation systems [5]. The agricultural system varies in Indonesia are greatly, both spatially and temporally. These variations of agricultural systems become very interesting part of the study of agricultural geography. One of the main concerns of agricultural geography on these variations in agricultural systems is study the causal relationship of a growing agricultural system in an area. The biophysical component and socio-demographic component will affect the agricultural system that is formed in an area. Understanding a complex agricultural system because it is formed from the interaction between physical and non-physical aspects, a geographic approach will be easy to understand
