Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the social impact of implementing a circular economy on rural pig farming. This study used a survey method on 100 households living side by side with 80 pig farms spread across Sonder District, Minahasa Regency as a pig farming center, 25 households each in Kauneran Village, Kauneran Satu Village, Kolongan Atas, and Kolongan Atas Dua using purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis, by explaining the social impacts including: social conditions, economic conditions and community culture. The results of the study showed that based on the results of a survey of households living side by side with pig pens, 80% of pig farms implemented restrictions on access in and out of the pens. This condition means that pig farmers have implemented a circular economy, especially biosecurity and waste collection. The impact on the social conditions of the community is the improvement of the health of the surrounding community due to reduced pollution, the formation of interaction patterns that impose restrictions on pig pens, and the formation of a pig farmer community. The impact on the economic conditions of the community is the ease of obtaining pork, the contribution of pig farmers to religious and community activities, the opportunity for cooperation with corn and rice farmers for animal feed needs. The impact on community culture is the sustainability of pig farming from generation to generation and the maintenance of the culture of pork consumption.
