Abstract

The program for the development of smallholder beef cattle farming businesses aimed at increasing national beef production through various development activities and approaches. Community empowerment is a process of social change that essentially enhances mode for implementing livestock development programs and activities. The objective of this research is to analyze the achievement of the on-going empowerment efforts for smallholder beef cattle farmers in Bojonegoro. Data collection was conducted through surveys using structured questionnaires, observations, and documentation of smallholder cattle farming households in Tambakrejo District, which represents the typology of a beef cattle breeding center. Data analysis used a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The results showed that the empowerment of smallholder cattle farming households cannot be adequately assessed solely based on the livelihoods status indicators of cattle farming households, which consist of five types of capital: (a) Human Capital, (b) Natural Capital, (c) Financial Capital, (d) Physical Capital, and (e) Social Capital. It is also necessary to include the components of household resilience and household dynamism. Together, the components of the livelihoods-status of smallholder cattle farming households, household resilience, and household dynamism form the empowerment of smallholder beef cattle farming households.
