Abstract

This study examines the social dynamics of cattle farmer groups as a strategic approach to supporting the sustainability of cattle farming in rural areas. There is evidence to suggest that social dynamics play an important role in livestock farming, impacting productivity, efficiency and sustainability. The main objective of this study was to develop a Group Dynamics Index (GDI) with a specific focus on evaluating eight key elements of group dynamics: purpose, structure, task function, coaching, cohesiveness, atmosphere, pressure, and group effectiveness. The study employed a quantitative descriptive survey methodology, involving 150 respondents drawn from three sub districts in West Lombok Regency. Data collection was conducted using a structured Likert scale-based questionnaire, which facilitated the measurement of respondent’s perceptions and attitudes. A weighted analysis approach was applied to the gathered data to generate a cumulative index. The findings indicate that structural factors, such as decision-making and task division, and non-structural elements, including interpersonal relationships and social support, significantly influence group dynamics. It was observed that farmer groups in the Lembar sub-district demonstrated the highest cumulative index (0.68), exhibiting excellence in aspects such as group structure and task function. Farmer groups in the Narmada sub-district exhibited a cumulative index of 0.65, distinguishing themselves through their notable group cohesiveness and atmosphere. Conversely, the farmer group in Gunung Sari demonstrated strong member loyalty (0.60) yet exhibited a need for substantial enhancement in internal management, particularly concerning task function and group pressure. The study concludes that the sustainability and effectiveness of group dynamics are contingent on the balanced integration of structural and non structural elements. A comprehensive, holistic approach that harmonizes internal management and social relations is essential to support overall group performance. The GDI proved to be a relevant and applicable tool for comprehensively evaluating group dynamics

Abstract

This community service activity aims to increase farmers' income as feed for breeding cattle and is intended as a step to save the environment from the effects of erosion due to massive land clearing that has occurred in recent years, including in Moyo Utara District, Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province. In addition to providing material through short training on seedling selection procedures, breeding patterns, harvesting and utilization techniques of Lamtoro taramba, farmers are also encouraged to calculate the economic value of cattle breeding by utilizing lamtoro taramba compared to using other feed crops such as grass and agricultural waste. The results of the service showed that the application of lamtoro taramba on a limited scale showed better growth of breeding cattle and that the plant is beneficial in cattle breeding efforts. In turn, lamtoro taramba is no longer perceived as a land-destroying pest. Lamtoro taramba opens up opportunities for the Sumbawa Regency Government to provide holistic livestock development that leads to an increase in farmers' income

Abstract

Perubahan iklim menjadi tantangan utama yang memengaruhi sektor pertanian, terutama di wilayah lahan kering seperti Desa Segala Anyar, Lombok Tengah. Desa ini menghadapi berbagai dampak perubahan iklim, termasuk ketidakpastian cuaca, kekeringan, dan keterbatasan sumber daya air, yang mengakibatkan kerentanan tinggi pada hasil pertanian. Untuk mengatasi tantangan ini, kegiatan Sekolah Lapang Iklim (SLI) berbasis gender dilaksanakan sebagai upaya pemberdayaan petani melalui peningkatan kapasitas adaptasi dan pengelolaan lahan. Metode SLI mengedepankan pendekatan partisipatif dan pembelajaran orang dewasa, yang mencakup pelatihan teori, praktik lapangan, serta diskusi kelompok untuk menganalisis permasalahan dan solusi terkait perubahan iklim. Hasil program ini menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam produktivitas pertanian. Sebagai contoh, hasil panen padi meningkat dari rata-rata 5–6 ton per hektar menjadi 8 ton per hektar melalui penerapan teknik pertanian adaptif dan pemanfaatan informasi iklim yang akurat. Namun, pelaksanaan SLI juga dihadapkan pada tantangan, seperti keterbatasan jangkauan wilayah dan kebutuhan diversifikasi komoditas untuk meningkatkan relevansi program. Peserta menyarankan agar SLI mencakup tanaman lain, seperti tembakau dan cabai, yang lebih sesuai dengan kondisi musim kemarau. Secara keseluruhan, SLI terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan ketahanan petani terhadap perubahan iklim. Rekomendasi untuk pengembangan program meliputi perluasan cakupan wilayah, diversifikasi materi pelatihan, dan integrasi teknologi digital. Dengan demikian, kegiatan ini dapat menjadi model strategis untuk mendukung ketangguhan komunitas petani lahan kering di tengah tantangan perubahan iklim.

Abstract

The role of farmers is a determining factor in the success of efforts to control Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), especially the level of knowledge, attitude, and skills of farmers. This study aims to determine the correlation and influence between knowledge, attitude, and skills of farmers with the location and characteristics of farmers. The study was conducted using a survey method on samples selected purposively in three sub-districts, namely Praya Tengah, Pujut and Praya Barat Daya with a total of 100 respondent farmers. This study uses correlation analysis and linear regression for data analysis. The results of the study indicate that there is a correlation value between the level of knowledge, attitude and skills of farmers towards controlling FMD with the location and characteristics of farmers, including: gender, age, education level, occupation, ownership status, experience/length of farming and the number of cattle owned by the farmer. As well as the influence of the location of the farmers residence and the characteristics of the farmers on the level of knowledge, attitude and skills of the farmers.
