Efektivitas Pengelolaan Pertanian Hortikultura Melalui Sistem Greenhouse Perspektif Maqashid Syariah (Studi Kasus Di Kabupaten Lampung Timur)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of horticultural farming management through the modernization of greenhouse systems in melon farming in East Lampung Regency from the perspective of maqashid sharia. This research is motivated by the limited number of studies integrating the effectiveness of greenhouse systems with the values of maqashid sharia, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive evaluation framework. The novelty of this study lies in integrating greenhouse system effectiveness with the maqashid sharia perspective to evaluate sustainable agricultural development. Accordingly, the success of agricultural modernization is assessed not only through economic performance and productivity but also through the achievement of public welfare (maslahah) and farmers' well-being. This study employed a qualitative case study approach using interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. The findings reveal that the greenhouse system is more effective than the semi-conventional method in improving productivity, cost efficiency, product quality, and farmers' welfare. Greenhouse productivity reached approximately 27–30 tons/ha, significantly higher than the 8–10 tons/ha achieved under the manual method. In addition, the greenhouse system reduced production risks and increased the market value of harvested products. These findings indicate that greenhouse farming is consistent with the principles of maslahah, justice, and sustainability embedded in maqashid sharia. Therefore, it is recommended as a modern agricultural model that promotes farmers' welfare and sustainable agricultural development.
