Abstract

Farmers in developed and some developing countries have good financial stability. The size of the cultivated area is the key to the level of welfare of farmers, the more land that is managed, the greater income that will be obtained. In the end, it can provide Economic stability for the farmers themselves. On the other hand, 41% of farmers in developing countries can be categorized as small farmers who do not have enough income. Smallholder farmers here can be categorized as farmers with a cultivated area of approximately 1 hectare of land. In fact, FAO as a high-ranking organization that concentrates on agriculture and plantations states "small farmers need other side jobs to make ends meet". The above facts show the need for intervention from various parties in helping small farmers, especially in dealing with these problems. One of the community empowerment programs carried out by PT Pertagas OSSA is to keep small farmers alive with agricultural and plantation fields and businesses through social safety nets by creating other business units. Some of the business units that are used as social safety nets are:  1) utilization of empty bunch waste into mushroom growing media and organic fertilizer, 2) empowerment of women in productive Economic fields, 3) encouraging the creation of Eco edu tourism, 4) utilization and management of resources to meet basic water needs, and 5) utilization and management of infrastructure resources such as fishing ponds, swimming pools, selfie locations as tourist destinations in the middle of the plantation.

Abstract

The international forum, World Water Forum 2024, held in Bali, emphasized the global threat of a potential crisis in the availability of sustainable clean water. This issue is not limited to developing countries but will be felt across the world. This event is a form of social responsibility by PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas) Operation South Sumatra Area (OSSA) in collaboration with the community of Sidomulyo Village as the subject of this service. Various activities were conducted involving the community, listening to their aspirations, formulating solutions together with the community, implementing the initiatives with them, and carrying out monitoring and evaluation collectively. This water conservation effort with the community is encapsulated in a program slogan called Pusaka Tirta. Pusaka Tirta stands for the strengthening of sustainability strategies, with Tirta meaning water. Furthermore, this slogan has been broken down into three sub-programs that are categorized based on the types and groups of activities. First, the water conservation efforts that focus on adaptation are named Tirta Asasta. Then, the conservation efforts focusing on mitigation are called Tirta Mahardika. Lastly, the conservation efforts focusing on rehabilitation are named Tirta Amarta.
