| description | This article studies how peasants have strategies or ways to construct identities through the
cultivation of indigenous based on of community cultural ecology. This study used qualitative
research methods as a guideline. Field surveys and data collection were conducted with emphasis
on observation and group discussion. The result of the study is that peasants' identity is
constructed through creating areas for indigenous rice which can be divided into 3 ways; 1)
Construction of peasant identities through the ecology of Ban Nam Yen, that is, Ban Nam Yen’s
indigenous rice is specific to the physical and ecological characteristics of the community as it is
suitable for planting in highland areas, hillsides, highland-like crops, grows well in tropical
climates, 2) Construction of peasant identities through creating a social space for indigenous rice
by presenting indigenous rice to be known through social media, and creating community as
agricultural tourism destinations, and 3) Construction of peasant identities through knowledge
areas in the community, that is to say, making communities a source of learning both in the
systematic learning using the community base for learning and informal learning as learning
sources for those interested in field trips. For this reason, the construction of peasant identities is
expressed by creating an area through indigenous rice as an instrument in the efforts to maintain
the community’s identities. |
