Abstract

Environmental damage will disrupt the ecosystem to support life. Unsustainable agriculture can be a source of environmental degradation. Conventional agriculture may have an effect on the environment, thus the participation of various parties in sustainable agriculture is needed. Organic agriculture is developed as an environmentally friendly agricultural cultivation with many benefits. Compared to the attention on occupational health, safety and environmental problems, economic motives receive less attention. This study aims to calculate the costs arising from the health impacts of vegetable cultivation. There were 314 respondents interviewed in this study. There were significant differences in the sickness complaints felt by respondents; organic farmer groups have the potential to incur health costs of Rp. 30,333.33, while the conventional group is higher, with a cost of Rp. 103.303.57 (US$ 7.38). Organic farming has a better impact because it uses natural ingredients and is not bad for health. The potential losses arising from health cases also show a high and significant number (p <0.001).

印尼三宝垄市Getasan街道有机蔬菜种植与传统蔬菜种植的健康成本比较

环境破坏会破坏维持生命的生态系统。不可持续的农业可能是环境退化的一个根源。传统农业可能会对环境产生影响，因此需要各方参与可持续农业。有机农业是一种环境友好的农业种植方式，具有多种效益。与对职业健康、安全和环境问题的关注相比，经济动机受到的关注较少。本研究旨在计算蔬菜种植对健康影响所产生的成本。本研究共采访了314名受访者。被调查者对疾病的抱怨有显著差异;有机农民群体的医疗费用可能为30,333.33卢比，而传统农民群体的医疗费用更高，为103.303.57卢比(7.38美元)。有机农业有更好的影响，因为它使用天然成分，对健康无害。健康病例造成的潜在损失也显示出很高且显著的数字(p <0.001)。
