STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS IN MULTI-AGRICULTURAL INTEGRATION SYSTEM TAKALAR REGENCY, INDONESIA

Abstract

Integrated agricultural systems, particularly crop-livestock-fish (CLF) models, offer transformative opportunities to enhance sustainability, increase productivity, and strengthen food security in rural areas. However, their success depends not only on ecological and technical optimization but also on the meaningful engagement of diverse stakeholders. This study aims to systematically map key stakeholders, assessing their levels of power, interest, and influence within the CLF integration framework in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The analysis employs Mitchell et al.'s stakeholder salience framework alongside Ostrom's socio-ecological systems (SES) theory. Using triangulated data from literature reviews, semi-structured interviews, and field observations, stakeholders were categorized into four quadrants: Subjects, Players, Context Setters, and Crowd. Findings indicate that institutions like TPHPKP, the Department of Livestock, and the Department of Marine and Fisheries show high power and high interest, while grassroots actors such as farmers and fishers exhibit high interest but limited institutional influence. Strategic engagement mechanisms, inclusive communication strategies, and institutional innovation are crucial for enhancing grassroots participation and promoting equitable governance. This study deepens the understanding of governance dynamics and stakeholder relationships in integrated farming systems within developing country contexts.
