Agricultural economic concept toward earthquake and tsunami in Simeulue Island

Abstract

Abstract The agricultural economic concept comprises research and education, smallholder and rural development, project planning and administration, as well as the formulation, planning, and analysis of macro-level policies. This study was out to explain the agricultural economic theory behind project management and planning on Simeulue Island. This study used an ethnographic approach and a qualitative paradigm. The information was gathered through audio-visual recordings, in-depth interviews with Simeuluenese, and other sources. Gathering information from Simeuluense about characteristic plants that have promise as food resources, especially the major food, was the first step in developing an agricultural economic framework. The next step is to determine the connection between Simeulue island’s readiness for mitigation and the agricultural economic idea. The concept is then categorized by making an effort to grow and cultivate a typical plant. Moreover, food processing for food preservation is to be developed for the food resource. As an agricultural concept, sustainability and food security are essential regarding preservation in facing mitigation, especially for a disaster such as an earthquake or tsunami of an island which needs much time to have aid from overseas to survive on the barrier island.
