Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the capacity of farmers through socialization and training in the production of Biosaka elicitors in Telaga Biru District, Gorontalo Regency. Biosaka is a natural elicitor produced by the manual crushing of healthy plants in pure water, not fertilizers, hormones, or enzymes, thereby triggering the plant's natural defense response and holistically improving soil health. The activity was carried out on April 26, 2024, at the local Agricultural Extension Center (BPP), involving a group of farmers selected based on their high dependence on synthetic chemical inputs. The methodology of the activity combined interactive lectures, reflective discussions, and hands-on training guided by agricultural extension workers. The results showed that all participants were able to correctly understand the concept of Biosaka and successfully produced the elicitor independently with consistent quality—characterized by visual features (no sedimentation, no foaming, thick and shiny appearance) and an increase in the average Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) value of 250–350 ppm. Beyond the technical aspects, this activity built collective awareness of the importance of reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers and transitioning to sustainable agricultural practices based on local resources. By actively involving farmers and supported by local agricultural extension workers, this activity became the first step towards realizing more independent, environmentally friendly, and equitable agriculture in Telaga Biru District.

Abstract

Empowering the economic community of Suka Makmur Village, Bone Bolang District, is a strategic step in supporting local independence and achieving sustainable development. One potential natural resource with high economic value that has not been optimized is palm sap. The palm sugar artisan community has so far focused on traditional palm sugar production, which, although a local characteristic, has not provided significant added value. Given this situation, this community service activity was carried out to introduce and socialize the concept of palm sap-based product diversification, emphasizing the potential for developing liquid palm sugar and palm syrup as innovations that are more adaptive to modern market needs. The implementation method was carried out in a participatory manner through socialization and counseling, accompanied by group discussions to explore opportunities, challenges, and market potential for palm sap derivative products. The results of the activity showed an increase in community understanding of product diversification, awareness of the importance of hygienic processing, and a collaborative spirit to continue innovation at the village level. This activity not only provided new insights to the community but also generated initial data on the palm sap value chain and production capacity that can be used as a basis for developing further programs. Thus, this program plays a role in strengthening sustainable local agribusiness systems through community empowerment based on local natural resource potential.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sensus dengan melibatkan 67 responden peternak sapi. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis pendapatan usaha tani serta uji statistik proporsi (Uji Z). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata total pendapatan rumah tangga responden adalah sebesar Rp 46.105.970/tahun. Struktur pendapatan didominasi oleh sektor non-peternakan sebesar 53%, diikuti oleh usaha ternak sapi potong sebesar 37%, dan ternak non-sapi sebesar 10%. Meskipun secara nominal kontribusi usaha ternak sapi lebih kecil dibandingkan pendapatan dari sektor non-agraris, hasil analisis Uji Z menunjukkan nilai Z-hitung (3,21) yang lebih besar dari Z-tabel (1,65) pada taraf kepercayaan 95%. Temuan ini membuktikan bahwa kontribusi usaha ternak sapi potong adalah signifikan secara statistik terhadap struktur ekonomi rumah tangga. Disimpulkan bahwa meskipun diversifikasi ke sektor non-peternakan memberikan arus kas yang lebih besar, usaha ternak sapi potong tetap memegang peranan vital dan signifikan dalam menopang stabilitas ekonomi rumah tangga peternak di wilayah pedesaan.

The research employed a census method involving 67 beef cattle farmers as respondents. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using farm income analysis and the proportion statistical test (Z-test). The results showed that the average total household income was IDR 46,105,970 per year. The income structure was dominated by the non-livestock sector at 53%, followed by beef cattle farming at 37%, and non-cattle livestock at 10%. Although the nominal contribution of beef cattle farming was smaller compared to the non-agrarian sector, the Z-test result showed a Z-count (3.21) greater than the Z-table (1.65) at a 95% confidence level. These findings prove that the contribution of beef cattle farming is statistically significant to the household economic structure. It is concluded that while diversification into non-livestock sectors provides greater cash flow, beef cattle farming remains a vital and significant.
