Abstract

The majority of people in Pisang Indah Village, Bumi Agung District, Way Kanan Regency, Lampung Province, are farmers. In farming, they use chemical fertilizers. Unfortunately, continuous use of chemical fertilizers can result in decreased soil quality and damage to soil structure. In order to replace chemical fertilizers with more affordable and ecologically friendly alternatives, socialization is being carried out on the manufacturing of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (Pupuk Organik Cair/POC) based on Local Microorganisms (Mikroorganisme Lokal/MOL). POC which comes from the fermentation of natural organic materials has become the main focus in efforts to increase plant productivity in a sustainable manner. This activity uses a descriptive-explanatory qualitative approach so that it presents practical steps to produce environmentally friendly and effective POC based on banana stems and rice washing water as an alternative fertilizer. The focus on the use of local organic materials, such as banana stems and rice washing water, is driving the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices in various agricultural communities. Through outreach activities and practical training, this article highlights farmers' interest and enthusiasm for POC as an alternative fertilizer that has the potential to provide good crop yields without damaging the environment. With the use of POC, it is hoped that in the future it can become the basis for efforts to empower farming communities in sustainable natural resource management to strengthen sustainable food security.

Abstract

Climate change impacts global food productions, but its local effect on rice production, particularly on monsoon dominated regions remain less understood. Here, we assess climate change impact on rice production situated on Lampung Province, as one of the largest rice productions in Indonesia. The FAO AquaCrop model was used to predict rice productivity, incorporating climate projections from the CMIP5 model under medium (RCP 4.5) and high (RCP 8.5) emission scenarios. We simulated the model for fifteen locations representing districts in Lampung Province. Our results show that by 2050, the decreased rainfall is projected during the dry season and early rainy season, but the average monthly temperatures and evapotranspiration rates are expected to increase across all districts. AquaCrop simulated an increased rice productivity by +0.25 and +0.74 tons/ha for both scenarios in April planting season, but it decreased by -0.41 and -0.75 tons/ha in November planting season due to water stress. This research is important to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of climate change on rice productivity in Lampung Province. These findings highlight the need for adaptive strategies to sustain rice production under future climate conditions.
