Abstract

South Sangatta Village possesses numerous potentials for development. One such potential is the presence of Trigona SP honey bee colonies that can produce honey. Honey bees are non-timber forest products with a relatively high market value. PT Pertamina EP Sangatta recognizes this as an opportunity for empowerment. In collaboration with the farmer group and Pokdarwis Trigona Reborn, PT Pertamina EP Sangatta Field, through its CRS program, seeks to develop the honey bee garden into an agro-edutourism area. This aligns with the aspirations of South Sangatta Village which aims to transform the Sangatta area into a tourism and educational hub focused on Trigona honey bees. This study aims to examine the implementation of the agro-edutourism area development program conducted by PT Pertamina EP Sangatta Field in collaboration with farmer groups and Pokdarwis Trigona Reborn. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, focusing on the CSR Program of Kebun Kelulut Sangatta. Research findings indicate that the Kebun Kelulut Sangatta agro-edutourism program is a sustainable tourism initiative emphasizing local community participation. There is evidence of improved welfare, demonstrated by increased income from honey sales and tourist visits to Kebun Kelulut Sangatta. Therefore, it can be concluded that the transformation of the Kebun Kelulut into an agro-tourism site has positively impacted the economic conditions and improved the welfare of the local community.

Abstract

This community service activity is part of the BINTANG PERTIWI Program (Empowering Climate-Friendly and Innovative Agriculture Villages), implemented by PT Pertamina EP Sangatta Field in Pinang Raya Village, South Sangatta District, East Kutai Regency. The main challenge faced by farmers in this area is the high cost of agricultural production, largely due to their dependence on chemical fertilisers and pesticides, as well as the underutilization of abundant organic waste, particularly tree branches that are often burned, resulting in air pollution and an increased risk of land fires. The innovative solution introduced is the management of tree branch waste through a pyrolysis process to produce grade-3 liquid smoke, which is then used as an eco-friendly bio-pesticide. The activities were carried out through awareness campaigns, technical training, mentoring, and continuous monitoring and evaluation. The program results show pesticide cost savings of approximately Rp600,000 per year, improved community awareness in waste management, and strengthened farmer group capacity in adopting semi-organic farming practices. The program not only has economic benefits but also contributes to mitigating land fire risks and fostering a more sustainable environment. These findings demonstrate that social innovations based on local potential can be replicated in other regions to support sustainable agriculture.
