Abstract

The success of the farming system supports the development of Indonesian agribusiness. One of the determinants of the success of farming is the managerial ability of farmers in making decisions. The managerial ability of farmers is shown by one of the abilities in carrying out farming records. However, based on the conditions in the field, it shows that the majority of farmers do not have the knowledge and ability. The purpose of this community service activity is to carry out farm recording training to improve the managerial ability. This community service activity was carried out in Gudangharjo Village, Paranggupito District. Participants in this activity were representatives of farmer groups with a total of 25 participants. The activity began with a pre-test, then socialization and training, and ended with an evaluation through a post-test. The results of this community service activity have proven to be able to improve the managerial ability of farmers. This can be seen from the results of the evaluation related to farmers' awareness of the function of recording farming businesses by (87%) and farmers' willingness to implement recording as an important (74%). Furthermore, the farmers have increased understanding after participating in the training, as indicated by an increase in indicators related to the importance of recording costs in farming (68%), increased knowledge in distinguishing between fixed and variable costs (58%), and understanding the ability to read farming records (45%). So that the results of the farming recording training can help improve the managerial abilities of farmers.

Abstract

The use of chemical inputs in agriculture has generated negative impacts on the environment, human health, and the sustainability of food systems, thereby encouraging the development of environmentally friendly and organic farming. Karanganyar Regency, through regulations and the establishment of the Karanganyar Organic Farmers Association (APOKAT), has demonstrated strong commitment to organic farming development. However, practices in the field still face challenges, particularly in production aspects, where some farmers have not consistently implemented Standard Operating Procedures (GAP-GHP). This condition poses risks of declining productivity and the sustainability of organic farming areas. To address these issues, a community service program was carried out from August to October 2024 in Mojogedang District, Karanganyar. The methods included GAP and GHP socialization, farmer field schools, demonstration plot management, training on organic input production, and focus group discussions (FGD). The participants consisted of 25 pioneer farmers representing groups under APOKAT. Farmers’ knowledge was evaluated through pre-tests and post-tests using a Likert scale. The results showed a significant improvement in farmers’ knowledge, with the average score increasing from 3.13 to 4.57. The improvement covered all indicators, particularly land preparation and crop maintenance. Furthermore, correlation analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between increased farmers’ knowledge and the sustainability of organic farming, with the environmental dimension being the highest. In conclusion, this program not only enhanced farmers’ capacity in implementing GAP and GHP for organic rice farming but also strengthened the sustainability of organic agriculture in Karanganyar. These results may serve as a best practice model for other regions in developing sustainable organic farming.
