Desa Bontomangiri, Kecamatan Bulukumpa, Kabupaten Bulukumba, memiliki potensi besar untuk mengolah biji karet yang melimpah menjadi produk bernilai ekonomi tinggi, salah satunya adalah keripik emping. Biji karet diketahui kaya akan kandungan minyak nabati dan asam lemak tak jenuh yang bermanfaat bagi kesehatan. Namun, pemanfaatannya selama ini masih minim dan cenderung diabaikan oleh masyarakat setempat. Para petani karet lebih memilih untuk tidak memanfaatkan biji karet dengan alasan kurangnya pengetahuan dan anggapan bahwa pengolahannya sulit. Hal ini mengakibatkan potensi ekonomi dan gizi dari biji karet belum tereksplorasi secara optimal. Melalui program pengabdian masyarakat, dilakukan upaya pemberdayaan masyarakat Desa Bontomangiri dengan pendekatan sosialisasi, pelatihan pengolahan biji karet menjadi keripik emping, dan peningkatan kesadaran akan nilai ekonomi biji karet. Kegiatan ini juga melibatkan ibu-ibu rumah tangga sebagai pelaku utama dalam pengolahan biji karet guna meningkatkan kesejahteraan keluarga. Selain itu, pemberdayaan ini diharapkan dapat memotivasi masyarakat untuk memanfaatkan waktu luang secara produktif dan menciptakan inovasi lokal berbasis sumber daya yang tersedia. Program ini bertujuan untuk memberikan solusi terhadap masalah rendahnya kesejahteraan masyarakat, minimnya inovasi, serta kurangnya akses terhadap informasi teknologi. Dengan memanfaatkan biji karet secara optimal, diharapkan masyarakat dapat meningkatkan pendapatan, mengurangi pemborosan sumber daya, serta memperbaiki taraf hidup mereka secara berkelanjutan.

Snake Fruit or Salak is a commodity that is quite in demand by the community. Currently, the products that can be enjoyed are fruit and juice. Meanwhile, the potential for processing other products is still lacking to be explored to provide benefits for producers. Therefore, our team held a workshop that focused on the production of snake fruit products. This workshop aims to equip local residents with the knowledge and skills to utilize snake fruit, a resource that is widely available but potentially underutilized in the community.This workshop consists of a tutorial on processing snake fruit into various products. We provide participants with hands-on experience and guidance on making items such as jam, jelly, or even dried snake fruit snacks. Two weeks after the workshop, a follow-up evaluation was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the training and explore potential challenges faced by participants in applying their new skills. The contribution of this project is the empowerment of the Bobo Village community through knowledge sharing and promoting the use of local resources in the form of Snake Fruit Dates and Sweetened Snake Fruit

This research aims to analyze the comparison of lowland rice harvest costs between traditional methods and the use of combine harvester technology in Padang Siring Village, Seginim District, South Bengkulu Regency. A total of 56 farmers were research respondents, consisting of 28 farmers using combine harvesters and 28 farmers using traditional methods. Primary data was collected through observation and interviews, while secondary data came from related agency documents. The research results show that the average cost of harvesting using traditional methods reaches IDR 2,560,000, while the cost of harvesting using a Combine Harvester is IDR 1,865,000, with a cost difference of IDR 695,000. Combine Harvester provides higher cost efficiency because it only requires IDR 500/kg for production wages and harvest time is shorter, namely one day for one hectare. In contrast, traditional methods require more labor and time, so they are more expensive. Reasons why farmers choose traditional methods include muddy land conditions, narrow rice fields, and inconsistent harvests. This research concludes that the use of a Combine Harvester is more efficient in terms of cost and time, but its implementation is still hampered by land conditions. It is hoped that this study can become a reference in encouraging the adoption of appropriate technology in the agricultural sector to support sustainable food self-sufficiency.

This research aims to analyze the palm oil agribusiness partnership pattern implemented by PT. Bengkulu Sustainable Palm Oil in Kedurang Ilir District, South Bengkulu, along with its impact on farmer partners. The research method was carried out descriptively with a qualitative approach, using primary data through in-depth interviews and secondary data from related documents.

Still today, Indonesia's agricultural industry provides the bulk of the country's GDP. Agricultural output and job prospects are deteriorating as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is particularly severe from 2020 to 2022. These underlying causes highlight the need of having a framework to estimate and anticipate output for the next year. The objective is to examine how the transition of farm and non-agricultural labour has affected family welfare in the districts of West Aceh and South Aceh. Shift Share and Location Quotient (LQ) are the tools used in this study. Using the contribution criterion in particular, LQ analysis is a powerful analytical technique for revealing an area's economic foundation. One way to look at regional economic development is via shift share analysis, which tracks how a key indicator of regional economic growth changes or increases over a certain time period. Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries make up the basic sector in South Aceh Regency's LQ calculation. The manufacturing industry, construction, financial and insurance services, and government administration, defence, and compulsory social security make up the other three subsectors. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing make up the backbone of West Aceh Regency's LQ calculation. The quarrying and mining industry. All sectors in South Aceh Regency had a negative value in the GRDP of South Aceh Regency shift share study, which suggests that overall, the sectors in South Aceh Regency are not expanding faster than their counterparts in Aceh Province and West Aceh Regency. All of the sectors in West Aceh Regency's GDRP are positive, which indicates that overall, the South Regency's sectors are developing at a quicker rate than both Aceh Province and South Aceh Regency's sectors.

This study aims to determine and evaluate the Performance of the Food Crops Agriculture Service in the 2018-2023 Subsidized Fertilizer Distribution Program (Case Study of Rice Farmers, in Seso Village, Ngada Regency). Using a qualitative descriptive approach with Atik Septi Winarsih's theory and Robbins' theory which highlights Responsiveness, Responsibility, Accountability, Punctuality, Work Commitment. The study involved 12 Informants.The results showed that in the subsidized fertilizer distribution program, employees of the Food Crop Agriculture Office of Ngada Regency have not carried out their duties in accordance with the needs of farmers on agricultural land, this is due to communication deficiencies such as in terms of providing infrastructure, fertilizer stocks, and the problem of changing fertilizer price increases and in terms of special training in accessing the E-RDKK system. One of the factors that hinders access to this system is that farmers do not understand the use of the E-RDKK system through android phones and the lack of knowledge that farmers have. The Ngada Regency Food Crop Agriculture Office has also not provided sufficient facilities and infrastructure on farms because there are many delays in distribution that take more time than the specified time. Services at the Ngada Regency Food Crop Agriculture Office have not been in accordance with the implementation in the field so that farmers' needs have experienced delays in service. Another form of participation that supports the sustainability of the subsidized fertilizer distribution program is by conducting socialization activities. The form of participation that is carried out is contrary to community expectations where the completion time is delayed from the time that should be determined.

Local food-based Entrepreneurship Training will be one of the important things for the community in utilizing products. However, there are several major problems in the Production sector such as the continuity of local food products not being available at all times because the community does not utilize raw products to be processed into new products that have added value. In addition, there are problems in the managerial and marketing fields. The problems in the managerial field are lack of planning, organization, lack of organization, lack of directors in the division of work in groups and lack of supervision. In the marketing field, there are still problems in promoting and selling products where in addition the products have not been accepted by the Community. The method of implementing Community Service activities from the UNIMOR Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM) provides solutions in answering the problems that exist in the Kasih Setia Women Farmers group. The method of implementing the activities in question is by identifying problems using the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) model. The results achieved are that Farmers gain Knowledge in the Empowerment Program through Entrepreneurship Training activities by changing Purple Sweet Potato and Yellow Pumpkin materials into pumpkin sticks and purple sweet potato sticks so that they have added value to the product. There are several suggestions that need to be considered in empowering the Kasih Setia Farmer group, namely that Farmer Empowerment activities must continue to be encouraged in other villages or in the village with an empowerment model in the form of other processed foods to increase farmers' knowledge in processing local products into new products so that the added value of the product becomes higher to penetrate the market.

The aim of this research is to analyze the legal protection of farmers who have expertise in plant breeding. This research method uses legal research with normative research type, which is a type of doctrinal legal research which in certain contexts is known as literature study or document study. The results of this study are that legal protection for plant breeders in Indonesia is still inconsistent, especially in Law Number 12 of 1992 tends to favor large companies with financial and technological resources, while Law Number 29 of 2000 does not provide special treatment for small farmers who face procedural obstacles and high registration costs. Law No. 4/2006 has also not provided special protection to plant breeding farmers. Norm making to protect farmers in plant breeding is faced with several inhibiting factors. These factors include the lack of clear regulations on protecting the rights of traditional farmers, limited access to their participation in the rule-making process, and limited resources and legal knowledge. In addition, the dominance of industrial interests, slow bureaucracy, and lack of communication and socialization of regulations further exacerbate the gap, while favoring modern farmers ignores small and traditional farmers.
