Abstract

Bone Regency is known as one of the main rice-producing regions in South Sulawesi, with many of its residents dependent on the agricultural sector. East Tanete Riattang District is one of the areas in Bone Regency with significant agricultural potential. However, constraints such as limited farmer resources, lack of technology utilization, and conventional farming methods result in suboptimal harvests. Research Method: This study was conducted using a Likert Scale approach. The population of farmers in Tibojong Village, Tanete Riattang District, Bone Regency, is 250. The sample size represents 20% of the total population. The results indicate that agricultural extension workers play a crucial role in supporting agricultural transformation through training, mentoring, technology introduction, access to capital, and strengthening farmer groups. Their roles as motivators, innovators, dynamists, educators, and facilitators have been effectively implemented, as evidenced by an average score of 77.70% in the Strongly Agree category. They are also perceived to help farmers improve their morale, cooperation, skills, and market access.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the pump-based irrigation program in enhancing food security in Tana Toraja Regency, with a case study conducted in Mengkendek District. The research addresses three main issues: (1) the effectiveness of the implementation of the pump irrigation program, (2) the program’s contribution to food security in terms of availability, access, and stability, and (3) supporting and inhibiting factors influencing the program’s implementation. A qualitative descriptive method supported by quantitative data from a Likert-scale questionnaire was employed. A total of 21 farmers from seven farmer groups participated in the study. The findings indicate that the pump irrigation program is effective, with an average score of 4.02 (high category). The program contributes significantly to improving food availability and access, as reflected in increased production, income, and cropping intensity. Food stability also improved, although it remains affected by price fluctuations and uneven water distribution caused by the region’s topography. Key supporting factors include strong farmer participation, government support, and adequate water sources. Major constraints involve high operational costs, frequent pump damage, limited technical training, and mountainous terrain. The study concludes that pump-based irrigation plays an important role in strengthening food security, yet requires further technical and institutional optimization to ensure sustainability.
