Abstract
Farming activities have a substantial impact on the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of an area.Shallot farming, for instance, heavily relies on the usage of anorganic fertilisers and pesticides that hold a tendency to pollute the surrounding environment.The limited land area results in low profits for farmers.The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the sustainability of shallot farming practices in the Humbang Hasundutan Regency through the application of a Multidimensional Scaling approach.The findings indicate that, on the whole, the sustainability of the farm is at a moderate level.The economic sustainability, on the other hand, is at a low level. Regarding the social and environmental facets of sustainability, the farm is at a moderate level.
