Samarinda (23/11/2023). Samarinda State Agricultural Polytechnic (Politani Samarinda) successfully held a National Scientific Seminar. This enthusiastically held event carried the theme "Smart Agriculture for a Sustainable Future: Innovation, Digitalization and Environmental Sustainability" at the Bumi Senyiur Hotel Samarinda (22/11/2023). This National Scientific Seminar began with remarks and the official opening of the activity by the Director of Politani Samarinda Hamka, S.TP., M.Sc., MP. Followed by remarks from the Chair of the activity committee, namely the Head of the Center for Research and Community Service (P3KM) Politani Samarinda Dr. Andi Lisnawati, S.P., M.Sc. In this seminar, three keynote speakers were present, namely Prof. Dr. Bernatal Saragih, SP., M.Si from the Faculty of Agriculture, Mulawarman University, Rizki Maharani, S.HUT., M.Sc., Ph.D from the Biomass, Bioproduct Research Center, Biological and Environmental Research Organization, National Innovation Research Agency. and Prof. Dr. Ir. Yogi, MS from the School of Architecture Planning and Policy Development (SAPPK) - Bandung Institute of Technology. The event continued with a question and answer discussion where the seminar participants enthusiastically asked about the material presented by the speakers. A total of 35 speakers from within the Samarinda Politani campus and from various other agencies and universities took part in this activity. Apart from seminars, this activity also provides opportunities for researchers to participate in the Call for Paper, which allows them to share their research findings in the form of scientific papers. This aims to encourage research in the field of agriculture and other multidisciplinary sciences which can have a positive impact on the social economy of Indonesian society, especially in East Kalimantan. Prof. Dr. Bernatal Saragih, SP., M.Sc. on this occasion delivered material related to Innovative, Resilient and Sustainable Agricultural Development. He explained the potential of technology in the agricultural sector as a solution to limited Human Resources (HR) caused by people's decreasing interest in becoming farmers. He further explained, "When this problem occurs, we can no longer talk about being labor intensive, but have to use technology. "One solution is to use technological innovations in agricultural equipment that use electricity and utilize artificial intelligence (AI)." Other seminar speakers were Rizki Maharani, S.HUT., M.Sc., Ph.D. delivered material on Innovation Technology and Digitalization of Non-Timber Forest Products to Support Environmental Conservation. In his presentation he focused on the potential of Natural Resources (SDA) by utilizing the abundant biomass in forest ecosystems optimally without destroying them by generating creative, competitive, solution and productive ideas. He further stated loudly, “NO CUTTING! "By utilizing Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), we can achieve a Better Life, a Better Future and a Better Environment so that sustainability towards conservation can be achieved." Next, Prof. Dr. Ir. Yogi, MS explained the impact of toll roads on land conversion and food security in Indonesia. He explained, "Food security in Indonesia is threatened with serious problems, one of which is caused by the large number of land conversions such as the construction of toll roads, factories, etc. in various districts/cities, thereby eroding the growth of agricultural land." The higher the conversion of agricultural land that occurs, the higher the loss of food production that occurs in the area. “The conversion of rice fields that cannot be controlled properly can threaten the food security of the population. The population's food security can be maintained as long as the population's food availability can be met properly. "This can be achieved by increasing/maintaining the area of rice fields, increasing land productivity, and reducing the level of food consumption of the population," he concluded. (HUMAS/PUS)
Samarinda 18/10/2023 A group of students who are members of the Plantation Plant Cultivation Study Program Student Association (HIMA-BUN) of the Samarinda State Agricultural Polytechnic (Politani Samarinda), developed organic farming in Kutai Lama Village, Anggana District. This activity is a series of activities from the Village Community Empowerment Program (P2MD) which received funding from DIKTI-VOKASI for the 2023 Fiscal Year with the title: "IMPLEMENTATION OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IN KUTAI LAMA VILLAGE, AGGANA DISTRICT THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF ECO-BOOST ORGANIC FERTILIZER BASED ON LOCAL RESOURCES" chaired by Muhammad Fauzan Bintang Andaswara Together with 9 other people, namely Syaiful Arifin, Dimas Eko SP, M. Ma'ruf Bahruddin, Ryan Adipratama, Rendi Fedrik AD, Deka A. Prayuga, Ahmad Ade JA, Sri Rodearni, and Lira Sonia. They work to apply the knowledge they already have and the direction and guidance of the Accompanying Lecturer Mr. La Mudi, S.P., M.P. This P2MD activity has gone through 2 stages, namely the Proposal stage and the presentation stage until this proposal receives funding. This activity is carried out by student organizations and partners. P2MD activities are carried out by utilizing local resources in the community and combined with the results of university research, by producing Eco-Boost organic fertilizer for organic vegetable production. This activity was carried out from June to November 2023. The implementation of this activity began with an introduction to the program with partners (Pemuda Tani Mandiri), followed by the manufacture of MOL (Local Microorganisms) which came from local resources in the form of bamboo roots and were enriched with rhizobacteria which are the result of university research, which has the ability to increase plant growth and yield and is able to control plant diseases. Next, the MOL is used as a biodecomposer to make Eco-Boost compost fertilizer. Eco-Boost compost fertilizer is made by utilizing agricultural waste in the form of rice straw, husks, goat dung and also secondary vegetation in the form of grass that grows in community gardens. The finished fertilizer is then used to cultivate organic vegetables including kale, mustard greens and tomatoes. In this activity, the manufacture and application of vegetable pesticides are also carried out to control pests and plant diseases so that healthy vegetables will be obtained free of pesticides. Each implementation of this activity involves partners as beneficiaries. In this activity, counseling and plot demonstrations were also carried out for target community groups which were also attended by youth farmers, farmer groups, women farmer groups, village representatives and BTP lecturers Mr. Nur Hidayat and Deputy Director III, Mr. Husmul Beze (as a form of support from college). In this activity, material was presented on organic farming, technical aspects of making MOL, Eco-Boost organic fertilizer and making vegetable pesticides. MOL has been used by one of the farmers to apply it to rice plants with a significant increase in yield. It is hoped that this P2MD activity can be followed by all farmer groups in Kutai Lama Village, Anggana District, and can even be adopted by other villages (LAMUDI).
