The study looked at farming in a village in West Java, Indonesia, focusing on banana-based farming systems. Researchers found that farmers in the area had small plots of land and relied on both farming and non-farm income for their livelihoods. The village road was improved to help farmers access markets, and farmer groups were formed to help with extension services and economic cooperation. Despite challenges like high input costs and a tough market, farmer groups played a crucial role in supporting each other. The study highlights the importance of public support for infrastructure and community development in rural areas.
