Abstract

Small and medium food enterprises in Indonesia continue to face challenges in adopting appropriate processing technologies, particularly in cassava-based production, which limits efficiency, productivity, and product quality consistency. This study aims to design and implement a food-grade cassava grinding machine as a technological intervention to increase production capacity at the Kerupuk Bu Ita enterprise in Padang. The research applied a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Define–Design–Develop–Evaluate–Disseminate model with participatory involvement of the target users. The machine was tested through performance measurement, time efficiency analysis, and ergonomic assessment. The results indicate a substantial improvement compared to the manual process, where grinding capacity increased from 10–13 kg/hour to 70–80 kg/hour, representing a productivity enhancement of 450–580%, while processing duration was reduced from approximately 3 hours to about 1 hour, resulting in a 66% reduction in processing time. In addition, user evaluation shows that the machine is easier to operate and ergonomically more suitable for continuous use. These findings demonstrate that the developed cassava grinding machine significantly improves production performance and offers a practical solution for strengthening the competitiveness of SMEs. The study contributes scientifically by providing a validated prototype of appropriate technology tailored to the operational and ergonomic needs of small-scale food production units.

Abstract

This community engagement program aims to improve irrigation efficiency and reduce farmers' dependence on rain-fed water through the implementation of solar-powered pumping technology in Nagari Tanjung Barulak, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The program adopted a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, actively engaging farmers in the planning, installation, training, and evaluation of the irrigation system. The intervention included the installation of a 25 kWp solar-powered pumping system equipped with photovoltaic (PV) panels and a DC submersible pump, followed by operational and maintenance training for approximately 30 farmers. The results demonstrated that the system was capable of irrigating approximately 100 hectares of agricultural land on a rotational basis, increasing irrigation water availability by up to 60% compared with previous conditions. In addition, irrigation operating costs were reduced by approximately 40% due to decreased reliance on fossil fuels. Farmers' knowledge and technical skills also improved substantially, with 85% of participants able to operate the system independently after completing the training. The program produced a fully functional solar-powered pumping system, practical training modules, and a community-based irrigation management group to ensure long-term sustainability. Overall, the findings indicate that implementing solar-powered irrigation through a participatory approach is an effective strategy for enhancing irrigation efficiency, lowering production costs, and strengthening farmers' capacity to manage water resources independently. The program offers a scalable and sustainable model that can be replicated in other regions with similar environmental and socio-economic characteristics.
