Unlocking Agricultural Mechanisation in Indonesia ππΎ: Barriers, Drivers, and Pathways for Sustainable Agri-Food Systems π Agricultural mechanisation in Indonesia is undergoing a silent revolution — one that holds transformative power for productivity, food security, and sustainability. Yet, while the potential is vast, numerous structural, social, and economic barriers continue to inhibit its full-scale implementation. For researchers exploring the agri-food system, understanding this complex landscape is essential for crafting inclusive and sustainable solutions. Let’s delve into the key barriers, powerful drivers, and promising pathways that define the future of mechanised farming in Indonesia. π The Context: Why Mechanisation Matters With over 90 million people engaged in agriculture across Indonesia and a growing population demanding higher food production π, mechanisation offers a crucial pathway to improve agricultural efficiency and reduce post-harvest losses.
