Abstract
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the determinants of farmers' income within the Community Food Barn (Lumbung Pangan Masyarakat/LPM) system in Pidie Regency, Aceh Province. The research involved 150 farmers from two LPM groups, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, following classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity). The results showed that simultaneously, land area, farming experience, education level, access to LPM facilities, and subsidy amount significantly influenced farmers' income, with an Adjusted R² of 75.9%. Partially, all independent variables had a positive and significant effect, with land area as the most dominant factor, followed by education level, access to LPM facilities, subsidy amount, and farming experience. This study concludes that strengthening LPM institutions, improving access to post-harvest facilities, and implementing targeted subsidy policies are key strategies to enhance farmers' welfare in Pidie Regency.
