Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Livestock genetic resources represent a critical component of biodiversity conservation, food security, and socio-cultural sustainability in Indonesia, particularly in Bali Province, where indigenous livestock breeds are deeply embedded in local traditions and livelihoods. This study examines sustainability-based policy frameworks for the protection and conservation of livestock genetic resources in Bali Province. A qualitative research approach was applied, integrating policy document analysis, in-depth interviews, field observations, and stakeholder surveys. Force Field Analysis was employed to evaluate the balance between driving and inhibiting factors influencing policy effectiveness. The results show that the cumulative strength of driving forces (3.832) exceeds inhibiting forces (3.333), indicating a potential reinforcement zone for conservation policy. Socio-cultural values and regulatory availability support conservation efforts, while weak genetically specific regulations, land constraints, and market dominance of hybrid breeds remain significant challenges
