Abstract

Smart community development is a strategic step in anticipating the development of Society 5.0 in Indonesia. The transition process of an information society into a smart society requires appropriate policies, especially amidst the ongoing demographic bonus challenges from 2015 to 2035. The agricultural sector in Indonesia is a strategic sector that has contributed to 13% of the national GDP. In the context of sustainable agriculture which produces healthy food by environmentally on-farm practices and encourages community welfare, digital technology plays a crucial role in driving innovation adoption for sustainable agriculture practices. One of the goals is to promote knowledge-sharing processes and network strengthening through smart community development. In a case study of a poultry farming community in East Java and Central Java, sustainable on-farm practices by multi-nutrient and additive supplement implementation are facilitated by developing a smart community using digital media. This study aims to analyze how the digital smart community formed and to what extent the development of agribusiness networks can create a social entrepreneurship model. The results of this case study can serve as a recommendation for developing sustainable agriculture practice policies in Indonesia and other developing countries.
