Abstract

Farmers in Lembang Tumbang Datu apply environmentally friendly agricultural practices, such as the use of organic fertilizers and efficient traditional irrigation systems. However, despite its significant potential, this local wisdom is often underrecognized by authorities, who tend to prioritize modern agricultural technologies that are not always suitable for local conditions. This study employs a qualitative research design aimed at understanding social phenomena from the participants’ perspectives. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, in which informants are selected based on their relevance and in-depth knowledge of the village context being studied. In addition, snowball sampling is applied to identify additional participants through recommendations from initial key informants. The key informants in this study include traditional leaders and farmers who are familiar with the cultural practices in Lembang Tumbang Datu and are directly involved in these activities. The total number of participants in this study is 16 individuals.The results of the study show that several applications of local wisdom of the Lembang Tumbang Datu community in rice farming demonstrate a close relationship between culture, spirituality, and environmental sustainability. Each stage of farming, from Mangrara Banne, Manglammak Banne, Mantanan, to Mangrakan, is carried out with meaningful traditional rituals, reflecting gratitude, togetherness, and respect for nature and ancestors. These rituals serve to maintain harmony between humans and nature, while also regulating sustainable agricultural management. Customary prohibitions, the use of natural materials, and determining planting times based on natural signs demonstrate the high ecological value of this traditional knowledge. Thus, the agricultural system in Lembang Tumbang Datu is not only a means of food production, but also a manifestation of cultural identity that affirms food independence through spiritual, social, and ecological balance.

Abstract

The Sustainable Food Yard (P2L) Program is a strategic initiative to enhance household food security while promoting women’s empowerment through the utilization of home gardens. Despite its potential, the implementation of this program still faces various challenges, particularly in Kalolok Village, Batupapan Subdistrict, Makale District, Tana Toraja Regency, which has distinct geographical and social conditions. This study employs a qualitative case study approach to explore in depth the empowerment process experienced by the Women Farmers Group (KWT) in implementing the P2L program. The research is descriptive-exploratory in nature, aiming to understand the dynamics, strategies, and challenges faced by the group. The findings indicate that the level of empowerment of KWT members is relatively high, as reflected in active participation in planning (72%), training (80%), mentoring (84%), and group deliberation (100%). Supporting factors include the availability of yard land (96%) and strong group cohesion (88%), while inhibiting factors consist of limited capital (68%), uneven technical knowledge (76%), unstable water supply during the dry season (52%), pest and disease attacks (64%), and limited market access (40%). The study also shows that the P2L program contributes to improved household food security, including increased availability of fresh vegetables (92%), reduced household food expenditure (88%), diversified food consumption (84%), and year-round food stability (88%). In addition, the program enhances household economic independence through savings, opportunities for product sales (76%), increased entrepreneurial motivation (80%), and improved welfare expectations (84%). Therefore, program sustainability should integrate P2L with micro-enterprise development and strengthen cross-sector collaboration in agriculture, cooperatives, and trade to maximize economic value added.

One of the main problems faced is the lack of a structured marketing strategy based on consumer data, so that the tempeh products offered are less attractive to the wider market. In addition, product promotion is still carried out conventionally through limited distribution channels without the use of digital media and without paying attention to the characteristics of the target market segment. The type of research used SWOT analysis in this study is used to identify internal and external factors that influence the development of the tempeh business, as a basis for developing a strategy based on consumer preferences. The results of the study Based on the SWOT analysis, the IFAS value of 3.56 and EFAS of 3.36 places Jeslyn Tempeh Business in Quadrant I (SO-Aggressive Strategy), which means it has high strengths and opportunities.

The SO strategy is the primary choice for increasing business growth and competitiveness, as it strengthens Tempe Jeslyn's market position and supports the sustainable development of local food
