Modernization and Shifting Practices of Local Wisdom on Corn Farming in Gorontalo Province
Abstract
Modernization of agricultural technology has dominated farming activities in Gorontalo. This paper describes the change of farming practices from local wisdom and social solidarity to modern technology. The research used a qualitative approach with 25 farmers as participants with the aim to explore their knowledge and observe their farming activities. This study found that local farming practices are no longer in existence. This local wisdom consists of the traditions of mopo'a huta and panggoba as farming systems which are based on social solidarity and are environmentally friendly. This has been replaced by a modern farming system that is considered more effective with abundant production. Modernization in the farming system, apart from having a good effect, has also resulted in many changes, both economically, socially, culturally and ecologically. This research concludes that as the results of corn farming modernization: 1) there has been a shift in labor and capital, 2) there has also been a shift in local wisdom, and 3) there are environmental degradation and social inequality.
