RURAL ECONOMY IN THE FRAMEWORK OF SUSTAINABLE GREEN DEVELOPMENT POLICY IN BANJARNEGARA REGENCY

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of green development principles into the rural economic structure of Banjarnegara Regency. As a region with a strong agricultural sector base and renewable energy potential, Banjarnegara holds a strategic position in implementing low-carbon economic strategies. Using quantitative descriptive methods based on secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for the 2021-2025 period, this study evaluates the relationship between green growth policies and economic equity in rural areas. The analysis shows that sustainable agricultural commodity diversification and optimization of local potential can promote inclusive growth. These findings recommend the need for a regional policy framework that strengthens the adaptive capacity of rural economies to global sustainability standards to ensure long-term prosperity.
