Objective of this research is to determine good management strategies to get potential utilization of local resources optimally in continuous improvement of potato land. Research took place in Batu City, Indonesia. Respondents are farmers who have the experience and expertise in the management of potato farms. The criteria of the respondent selection is by using sampling methods approach stratified cluster sampling. Analysis of the data using (1) the Strategic Analysis (SWOT) and (2). Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Results of analysis suggested that application of technology in land management and local resource shows value score of (0.27) is greater than the empowerment of implementation of strategy and the utilization of local potential value score of (0.258) and the improvement of the state of agroecosystems value score of (0.214). It shows that the technology has a very strong influence in the condition of agricultural land change and the potential of local resources. The important thing to note is that organic fertilizers should be given as recommended score of (0.24), and local biopesticides value score (0.23). The recommended policy strategies are: the use of local varieties and improved varieties to get tolerant to pests and diseases; improvement of local agro-ecosystems to stimulate; optimization utilizing microorganisms so that can develop properly; giving organic fertilizer on potato farms to improve productivity; and utilization of local resources plant biopesticides to reduce environmental pollution and providing biomass to improve soil fertility.
Keywords: Management, Local Potential
