Abstract
This paper analyzes the carrying capacity of the Boti Tribe's agricultural land. The analysis of the carrying capacity of agricultural land is carried out to measure the risk and level of vulnerability of indigenous peoples with their choice of traditional farming techniques. This paper is the result of research conducted through mixed methods. The survey was conducted on 30 Boti Tribe families. The results showed that the carrying capacity of agricultural land in Boti Village had a value of <1 or very low. This value indicates that the people of Boti Tribe will find it difficult to achieve food self-sufficiency and achieve a decent living. The threat of food scarcity can occur during the dry season. This condition was anticipated by the pople of Boti Tribe through a communal food garden management strategy, in which they can store food to be used in an emergency.
