Abstract

This study examines how the community at Subak Uma Lambing in Bali, Indonesia, can advance regenerative farming initiatives by strengthening farmers' and their children's cultural identity and pride. Through community engagement and research-based approaches, this study explores the behavioral factors that influence the adoption of regenerative agricultural practices. By deepening the community’s connection to its cultural heritage, this research seeks to enhance motivation toward sustainable farming and ensure the preservation of local traditions for future generations. The revitalization of agriculture in Subak Uma Lambing relies on cultivating a strong sense of cultural identity, particularly among the younger generation. Strengthening this cultural bond is essential for fostering a resilient agricultural system that honors tradition while integrating innovation. By instilling an appreciation for farming from an early age, this study aims to promote long-term sustainability and prosperity for the Subak Uma Lambing community.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)SDG 2 (Zero Hunger)SDG 4 (Quality Education)SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production):SDG 15 (Life on Land)

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of organic fertilizer and NPK fertilizer enriched with sulfur (S) and zinc (Zn) on the growth and yield of white eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). A factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate vegetative and generative responses under varying fertilizer dosages. Results demonstrated that both fertilizers independently exerted significant effects on vegetative growth, particularly plant height and leaf number. The optimal treatments—30 tons/ha of organic fertilizer (O3) and 600 kg/ha of NPK fertilizer (Z3)—produced the tallest plants (62.95 cm) and the highest leaf count (14.78 leaves), indicating enhanced photosynthetic capacity and plant vigor. Generative development also improved with increased fertilizer dosages. Treatment O3 yielded 23.00 flowers and 14.67 fruits per plant, a 13.83% increase over the lowest dose. Treatment Z3 resulted in 24.00 flowers and 56.07 fruits per plant, an 8.47% increase compared to Z1, highlighting the critical role of Zn and S in reproductive organ formation. Furthermore, fresh fruit weight significantly increased under both treatments, with O3 producing 1,710.00 g and Z3 yielding 1,768.78 g per plant—representing 13.85% and 19.63% improvements, respectively. These findings confirm that precise fertilizer combinations can substantially enhance the productivity and quality of white eggplant harvests

Abstract

Farmer-Livestock Group Satwa Winangun in Tangkas Village, Klungkung Regency, faces challenges in improving agricultural productivity and soil health due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers. This Community Service Program (CSP) aimed to introduce and implement the utilization of sulfur and zinc fertilizers combined with locally produced compost as environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives. The program was conducted through training sessions, field demonstrations, and intensive mentoring for farmers. The results indicated significant improvements in soil fertility, plant growth, and production cost efficiency. Sulfur and zinc fertilizers enhanced soil structure and nutrient absorption, while local compost derived from village organic waste contributed to waste reduction and improved soil quality. Farmers began to adopt these methods independently and demonstrated strong enthusiasm toward sustainable agriculture practices. Overall, this program successfully empowered the farmer group through appropriate technology and the use of local resources. Beyond increasing agricultural yields, the activities also strengthened environmental awareness and encouraged farmer self-reliance in managing land productively and sustainably.
