Abstract

Agriculture is an important factor in the economy of the state of Indonesia, most of the livelihoods of Indonesian society in agriculture. Agriculture in Indonesia has experienced a food productivity dilemma in which there are five problems to overcome in order to produce abundant agricultural products. The first factor causing agricultural problems is irrigation factor that is damaged even 53% of damaged irrigation network. The second factor is less absorbed rice seed. The third factor is fertilizer management where if not organized then farmers will be late to get fertilizer, this will potentially decrease of agricultural product. The fourth factor is the procurement of agricultural machinery or modernization of the farming system, and the last fifth factor is the extension worker in charge of providing knowledge and bridging from farmers to government. This is what makes the problems and lead directly to the welfare of farmers to be reduced. High agricultural production can boost agricultural welfare in the economic field. Indonesian government policy to increase high agricultural yields one of them with the increase and expansion of agricultural land. Results analysis correlation analysis between response variables, parameter estimates, and model formation. The results can be concluded from all the above variables can be seen that the problems that must be addressed above must be addressed immediately because the impact resulting from agricultural dilemma have significant effect, agricultural land and technology to agricultural welfare production. This can result in the decrease of agricultural products and unemployment caused by the growing technology and also the narrowing of land in particular especially on the island of Java. Variable Harvest Area in general gives a significant effect on the amount of production and welfare. Similarly, variable use of technology turned out to have a significant influence on the amount of production and welfare. The interaction between harvested area variables and the provision of technology did not provide significant differences on the amount of production and welfare.
