Abstract

Maize (Zea mays) is the second most strategic commodity in Indonesia’s national food security system after rice. In Madura Island, particularly in Bangkalan Regency, local maize serves not only as a food source and income but also as an integral part of the community’s cultural and traditional practices. Local maize offers several advantages, including its adaptability to dry and poorly irrigated land, its distinctive taste, longer storage life, and lower production costs compared to hybrid maize. This study aims to examine the reasons why farmers continue to cultivate local maize and to analyze their perceptions of its sustainability across five main dimensions: economic, ecological, social, cultural, and technological. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with an analytical approach through data triangulation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observations, then analyzed using NVivo software. The findings reveal that, economically, farmers continue cultivating local maize despite low income levels due to lower production costs, land ownership, ease of harvest, and better storage durability. Ecologically, local maize is perceived as drought-resistant and environmentally friendly, though still vulnerable to pests and reliant on chemical pesticides. Socially, family support and solidarity remain strong, although collective labor practices such as gotong royong are no longer observed. Culturally, local maize holds symbolic value and is cultivated across generations, though this practice is threatened by shifting preferences among younger generations. Technologically, the adoption rate of agricultural innovations remains low. The study concludes that farmers' perceptions of local maize farming sustainability are generally pragmatic. The sustainability of local maize is primarily supported by cost efficiency, local wisdom, naturally advantageous product traits, and ecological adaptability, rather than by modern technology or systemic policy support. Keywords: Farming Sustainability, Local Maize, Farmers’ Perceptions
