Abstract

In rural areas grappling with recurring water scarcity during dry periods, the imperative for water conservation becomes evident. This research centers on Green Infrastructure (GI), showcasing its substantial potential for better water management practices, specifically in the realms of rainwater harvesting and greywater treatment. We implemented an integrated household-scale rainwater harvesting system (RWH) coupled with greywater processing using a constructed wetland (CW). The constructed wetland, filled with sands and gravels and adorned with Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), served as a filtration medium for both greywater and rainwater before channelling them into a fishpond. The project was conducted at the ITB research station in Haurngombong village, Pamulihan sub-district, Sumedang, West Java. The project exemplified an effective synergy between the RWH system and a constructed wetland for greywater treatment, benefiting both plant irrigation and fishpond utilization. The demonstrated approach holds significant potential added value for communities, serving as a reservoir for crop irrigation, supporting fish farming, and facilitating greywater treatment through an integrated aquaponic system.

Abstract

The primary challenge faced by farmers in Haurngombong Village is their low bargaining power in marketing agricultural produce, which is attributed to limited access to market information, capital, and distribution channels. To address this, the Center for Rural Empowerment (P2D), along with the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) Berbudi, initiated the Digital Platform Utilization Program in Haurngombong Village to strengthen the position of farmers as producers. This program aims to assist farmers in distributing and marketing their agricultural products through a digital platform, enabling them to determine a fairer selling price and expand their market network. Additionally, the program serves as a collaborative platform for farmer communities, such as the Women Farmers Group, and MSEs actors in the surrounding village area. The empowerment activities employ the Participatory Learning Activity (PLA) method, emphasizing participatory learning through lectures, discussions, and direct practice (learning by doing). The activities included initial socialization, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), website design creation, product information collection, digital marketing training, and daily transaction recording. The program also promotes the active role of BUMDes Berbudi in assisting with product marketing, including participation in bazaars like Milangkala Desa Haurngombong and Jatifest 2023 at the ITB Jatinangor Campus. Although the program has yielded positive impacts, constraints remain, primarily related to farmers' limited access to technological devices and internet network. Further study is required to understand the correlation between the pattern of human resource (HR) utilization in agricultural activities and the effectiveness of utilizing and digitally marketing agricultural products.
