Abstract

Millennial farmer' management decisions are influenced by their agribusiness competencies. Farmers are constantly faced with decision-making on what and how to produce it. Both controllable internal and uncontrollable external factors constrain farmers' decision-making process. Meanwhile, millennial farmers will need to act as the driving force of agriculture in the future. Millennial farmers require sufficient agribusiness skills to manage their farms effectively. This study examines the competencies of millennial farmers in agribusiness, their managerial decision-making process, and the relationship between these competencies and organizational decisions. The agribusiness competency variables studied are based on agribusiness subsystems, including input supply, production process, product processing, marketing, and supporting subsystems. This study included all millennial farmers in Kubu Raya Regency. The sample was determined to be 150 samples using purposive sampling. A selected sample of millennial farmers aged 19-39 years old.  The analysis used interval class category analysis with three categories: good, moderate, not good, and Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results of the analysis show that millennial farmers have moderate agribusiness competencies and managerial decision-making processes. There is a strong positive correlation between agribusiness competencies and managerial decision-making processes. The government should enhance millennial farmers' agribusiness skills by providing infrastructure, facilities, and marketing, finance, and product processing training while collaborating with academics to develop technology and innovation.

Abstract

Photosynthetic Bacteria (PSB) provide an environmentally friendly alternative to reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers while improving farmers' knowledge and technical skills in sustainable agriculture. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and practical skills of corn farmers in producing and applying PSB in Rasau Jaya Satu Village, Kubu Raya Regency. The program employed a participatory approach consisting of observation, counseling, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and interactive discussions. Farmers actively learned PSB preparation, application techniques, and its benefits for corn cultivation. The results showed improved participant understanding and practical competence in independently producing PSB using affordable and locally available materials. The training also increased farmers' awareness of environmentally friendly farming practices and encouraged the adoption of sustainable agricultural technologies. Overall, the program demonstrates that participatory training effectively strengthens farmers' capacity, promotes the use of biological inputs as an alternative to chemical fertilizers, and supports the development of sustainable and environmentally responsible corn farming systems.
