Strategi Kelompok Tani dalam Meningkatkan Kapasitas PetaniPedesaan: Studi pada Kelompok Tani Pangan Sri Lestari

Abstrak

A strategy is crucial for realizing the impact of agriculture on Indonesian development, through human resources development by strengthening farmers' knowledge. Because the majority of Indonesians are farmers, this can address various problems such as farmer poverty, limited access to capital and technology, food security, and increasing quality production. This study used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving farmers, agricultural extension workers, and farmer group administrators in the problem identification, planning, action phase, and evaluation process. The results of this study indicate that the farmer group's strategy to increase the capacity of rural farmers through education, training, and mentoring in collaboration with agricultural extension workers has had a positive impact, as evidenced by increased harvest yields.
