Abstract |
This research aims to study decision toward suitable crop growing in order to achieve community economic sustainability by using the method of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process(FAHP) together with participatory meeting among stakeholders in the community including agriculturists, government representatives, traders and academicians from education institution. The result reveals that decision makers give weight to income sustainability at 80%, resulting in growing energy crop being more important than rice as agriculturists want to reduce income risk caused by excess supply problem (agricultural product such as rice) and uncertainty of climate change. Index terms - Sustainable Cropping, Energy Security, Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, MCDM . | |||||||||
