Abstract

Karawang Regency has significant potential in coffee plantation development, particularly in Medalsari Village, Pangkalan District. The Purnama Coffee Farmers Group, as the community partner, faces several challenges, including limited production facilities, inadequate implementation of coffee quality standards, weak business management capacity, and underutilization of coffee husk waste generated during processing. This community empowerment program aimed to enhance farmers’ capacity through the production of high-quality coffee and the downstream utilization of coffee waste into biomass briquettes as a strategy for product diversification and energy self-sufficiency. The program was implemented using a participatory approach consisting of socialization, training, technology transfer, mentoring, and evaluation. Activities included training on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), post-harvest handling and coffee quality control, product packaging and branding development, digital marketing, and technical training on converting coffee husk waste into biomass briquettes. In addition, farmers received assistance in operating coffee-processing equipment and briquette-making machines to improve production efficiency and product quality. The results demonstrated increased knowledge and technical skills of farmers in producing high-quality coffee, improved business management and digital marketing capabilities, and the successful development of a new value-added product in the form of coffee-waste biomass briquettes. The utilization of coffee waste as an alternative energy source not only increased economic value but also reduced environmental waste and promoted green economy principles.

Abstract

Studi ini mengkaji tingkat pengetahuan dan persepsi masyarakat terhadap biaya dan manfaat biofuel di sektor transportasi sebagai alternatif berkelanjutan untuk bahan bakar fosil. Studi ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif melalui survei yang dilakukan terhadap responden dari beberapa generasi: Gen Z, Gen Y, dan Gen X, yang memiliki kendaraan bermotor dan memiliki SIM. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, menggunakan tabel dan grafik untuk menilai pengetahuan tentang produksi biofuel dan implikasi ekonomi dan lingkungannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden dari ketiga generasi memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang tinggi tentang biofuel dan manfaat lingkungannya. Hal ini didukung oleh indeks persepsi masyarakat terkait manfaat lingkungan biofuel, kontribusinya dalam meminimalkan emisi, dan meningkatkan ketahanan energi, dengan indeks persepsi masing-masing sebesar 81%, 87%, dan 78%. Namun, penggunaan biofuel masih rendah karena dianggap biayanya tinggi dibandingkan dengan bahan bakar fosil, dengan indeks persepsi harga sebesar 61%. Rekomendasi untuk meningkatkan penggunaan biofuel di Indonesia meliputi peraturan dan kebijakan pemerintah yang mendukung, subsidi harga, pembangunan infrastruktur, dan pemantauan kualitas bahan bakar. Dukungan pemerintah sangat penting untuk membuat biofuel lebih terjangkau, mempopulerkannya sebagai bahan bakar alternatif, dan memberikan dampak positif terhadap lingkungan.

Abstract

Camarines Sur, located in the Bicol Region of the Philippines, is considered one of the most climate-vulnerable provinces. Despite this, it is a model for a robust and proactive disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) program. The province features a diverse agroecological landscape, ranging from hilly and rolling terrains to plains surrounding Mt. Isarog National Park, which covers an area of 10.112 hectares with an elevation reaching 1.966 meters above sea level. Farming systems include monocropping, intensive multiple cropping, and agroforestry, with sugarcane and corn on downslopes, groundnuts and vegetables on lower slopes, and irrigated or rainfed rice fields. The integration of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is increasingly being explored as a means to enhance both the sustainability and resilience of these farming systems. This study aims to assess the sustainability and resilience of cacao cultivation at the farm level in Barangay Binanuanan, Pili, Camarines Sur. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with local government officials, focus group discussions with farmers, and a Strengths, Opportunities, and Challenges (SOC) analysis. Findings indicate that cacao farming contributes to economic sustainability, as most farmers benefit from diversified income sources, including off-farm employment and family financial support. Ecological sustainability is supported by cacao’s compatibility with existing farming practices. However, social resilience remains limited, as evidenced by the aging farming population and minimal youth engagement in agriculture. To strengthen overall system resilience, targeted interventions promoting youth participation and community engagement in cacao-based farming are recommended.
