Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this activity is to provide information about how the Prospect of Palm Plant Development (Arenga pinnata Merr) for food and energy security as well as processed products from palm trees, so that it is useful for the community, encouraging community awareness and awareness to preserve the environment. This activity was carried out in Buluh Awar Village, Sibolangit District, Deli Serdang Regency, involving the community in Buluh Awar Village and the Teaching Staff of the Agrotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, Biology Education Study Program, Teaching and Education Faculty, Labuhan Batu University, Postgraduate Study Program in Agrotechnology, Faculty Agriculture of the University of North Sumatra and the Faculty of Forestry of the University of North Sumatra. Agrotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Muhammadiyah University, South Tapanuli, Agrotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Graha Nusantara University, Padang Sidempuan. The main problem is the planting of sugar palm, which is generally not yet cultivated so that crop productivity is low and it is feared the plant population will decline. Since sugar palm plants have economic, social, cultural and conservation functions, it is wise to cultivate sugar palm and rehabilitate plants that grow naturally and irregularly in order to increase plant productivity. The results of the activity show that the cultivation of palm sugar plant has good hopes or prospects in the future. Processed products from palm plants such as sugar, drinks, and vinegar can be used to improve food security, while bioethanol can be used as an alternative energy source.

Abstract

Rice is a staple food crop that feeds a significant portion of the world's population. Ensuring sustainable and efficient rice production is crucial for global food security. In recent years, the integration of smart agriculture technologies has shown promise in improving various aspects of rice cultivation. This paper provides an overview of the key smart agriculture applications that can enhance rice cultivation practices. The review discusses the use of precision farming techniques, such as GPS-guided tractors and drones for site-specific management of inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. It also examines how sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) devices can monitor environmental conditions, soil fertility, and plant health to enable data-driven decision-making. Smart irrigation systems leveraging soil moisture sensors and weather forecasts are highlighted as a means to optimize water usage. Furthermore, the paper explores the role of automation and robotics in automating labor-intensive tasks like transplanting, weeding, and harvesting. It also discusses the potential of machine learning and predictive analytics to improve crop yield forecasting, pest and disease management, and supply chain logistics. The adoption of these smart agriculture technologies in rice farming has demonstrated improvements in productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental sustainability. However, challenges remain in scaling up these solutions and ensuring their accessibility to smallholder farmers. The paper concludes by outlining future research directions and policy considerations to further advance smart agriculture in the rice cultivation sector.
