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).

Samarinda 09/27/2023 – Intensive collaboration between the central government and regional governments to advance vocational education is being intensively carried out. This is a very positive step in improving the quality of human resources and economic development in a region. One of them is the commitment to support from the Regional Government of East Kalimantan (Kaltim) and North Kalimantan (Kaltara). In order to realize harmony through synergistic partnerships, the Directorate General of Vocational Education, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) through the Directorate of Partnership and Harmonization of the Business and Industrial Worlds (Mitras DUDI) became the facilitator at the Kick Off (Launching) Strengthening Program event Partnership Ecosystem for Regional Potential-Based Innovation Development in the East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan Regions. This activity was held at the East Kalimantan Governor's Office on Tuesday, September 26 2023. The Partnership Ecosystem Strengthening Program aims to synergize partnerships and alignment between vocational education units and regional stakeholders to produce policy briefs. The policy brief contains workforce planning and innovation planning so that it can produce innovation to increase regional potential growth. The Director General of Vocational Education, Kiki Yuliati, also conveyed the priorities and benefits of this program. In his speech, Director General Kiki stated, "The implementation of vocational education must pay attention to the needs of the surrounding community. To make this happen, we all have to work together, both between the regional government and the central government through this partnership program." According to Director General Kiki, this partnership ecosystem can create higher quality vocational education. Director General Kiki said, "Regional stakeholders can become actors in vocational education development by providing input to us. That's the ecosystem we want to build.” In encouraging the realization of this collaboration, Vocational Universities (PTV) also took part as program administrators. The consortium of 4 Vocational Universities (PTV) specifically for the East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan regions, namely Samarinda State Polytechnic (Polnes), Samarinda State Agricultural Polytechnic (Politani), Balikpapan State Polytechnic (Poltekba), Nunukan State Polytechnic (PNN) will later be tasked with building partnership ecosystem between fellow PTVs, the business world and local governments to accelerate program implementation. According to a report by the Director of Polnes, Ahyar M. Diah, there are 20 PTVs in the East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan regions who are administrators, while there are 65 state and private PTVs who are members of the consortium throughout Indonesia. "We hope that the collaboration created by this program will be able to become a reference for solutions between vocational education and the business and industrial world regarding human resource needs and regional economic development," said Ahyar. Apart from the launch of the Partnership Ecosystem Strengthening Program, through this opportunity the Governor of East Kalimantan, Dr. Ir. H.
