Keywords: Economic development, Sustainable agricultureAbstract
Sustainable agriculture-based economic development has become an important issue in efforts to improve community welfare, particularly in rural areas that heavily depend on the agricultural sector. However, optimizing agricultural potential often faces various constraints, both internal and external. This study aims to formulate strategies for sustainable agriculture-based economic development to improve community welfare in East Luwu Regency. This research employs a quantitative approach using SWOT analysis. The sample size was determined using the Lemeshow Formula, resulting in a total of 96 respondents who are active farmers, along with key informants involved in determining the weights of strategic factors. The results indicate that the internal score of 0.77 and the external score of 0.78 place the strategic position in Quadrant I (Strength–Opportunity), reflecting a strong and opportunity-driven condition. The recommended strategy is an aggressive, growth-oriented approach through the optimization of land utilization, development of leading commodities, improvement of market access, and adoption of agricultural technology. The implementation of this strategy has implications for increasing productivity, farmers’ income, and strengthening the rural economy. This study contributes to the formulation of sustainable agriculture-based development strategies grounded in local potential to promote inclusive and sustainable community welfare.
