Are there different agrarian pathways for peripheral people and places? This study uses ethnographic methods to examine how patterns in education, technology and socio-spatial mobility affect rural families and younger generations' connections to land and farming in a rural village of Flores, Indonesia. The study argues that the outer location of Flores to urban centers, along with generational changes in land use and access, encourage many young men and women to migrate for education and off-farm work. As younger generations become more 'urbanized' and educated, many see farming as a less desirable and last option. Within the village, these changes have meant farming has become increasingly individualized, feminized and expensive, as well as older and less communal. Youth and middle-aged men spend months to years away from the village, pursuing education and/or cash income, while married women manage fields at home. This study finds that while many young people try to become something other than farmers, many face difficulties in securing formal work in cities. This precarity means it is seemingly impossible to stay in the village, but also, impossible to leave. More broadly, these findings suggest that the generational processes driving deagrarianization patterns in Flores are uneven, and heavily dependent on age, gender, and household wealth. The study shows that a more pressing concern for peripheral areas such as Desa Dedang and greater Flores is that of food nutrition, and larger questions for how outer regions and people can develop for the future.
