Abstract

This study aims to identify the potentials and problems of home garden utilization, analyze extension and assistance strategies, and formulate policy recommendations for the development of the Sustainable Home Food Garden Program in supporting food self-sufficiency in Kedamean Sub-district, Gresik Regency. The methods used were participatory observation, in-depth interviews, group discussions, and document studies. The results showed that Kedamean Sub-district has extensive home garden potential but has not been optimally utilized. Participatory extension strategies and intensive assistance have proven effective in increasing the participation, knowledge, and skills of women farmer group members in home garden management. This program has a positive impact on food availability, consumption quality, household income, and strengthening social capital. Synergy between stakeholders is needed to optimize home gardens as a source of family food and income.

Abstract

The Bawean Island in Gresik Regency possesses significant potential in agriculture, yet it remains dominated by traditional crops like rice and maize. Recently, the Agricultural Extension Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) introduced a Demonstration Plotting (Demplot) program to promote tobacco cultivation as a new and economically promising commodity. This study aims to analyze the role of UPT in empowering farmers through the tobacco Demplot program and to identify the challenges and opportunities in introducing tobacco as a new commodity. A qualitative approach was used, incorporating field observations, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review. The results highlight the pivotal role of UPT in providing technical training, production inputs, and strengthening farmer groups, which led to increased skills, productivity, and income. However, challenges such as limited technical knowledge and social acceptance remain. The program's success underscores the importance of participatory and comprehensive approaches in agricultural extension. This research provides strategic recommendations for sustainable agricultural diversification in Bawean.
