Abstract

Smallholder farmers face persistent challenges in adding value to their agricultural products due to limited access to digital marketing knowledge and skills. Many of these farmers struggle to connect their production activities with current market demands, resulting in low product appeal and reduced income. This community service program aimed to bridge that gap by introducing digital capacity-building in packaging and product promotion. The team designed a participatory learning method that combined visual presentations, product demonstrations, and guided discussions to improve farmers’ understanding and motivation. The facilitators conducted the training at a rural farmer group in Jumapolo, involving 30 participants from various age groups. The team collected data using pre- and post-training questionnaires focused on knowledge, attitude, and behavioral intention. The Kruskal-Wallis H Test was used to analyze the differences in post-intervention score across age groups. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in learning outcomes, particularly among younger participants who were more receptive to digital tools and practices. The observations in the field also showed that younger farmers actively engaged in hands-on sessions, while older farmers preferred visual learning and peer support. This program demonstrated that digital empowerment efforts can be practical when tailored to different learning profiles. Future community programs should consider adopting segmented approaches and implementing intergenerational mentoring to ensure the inclusive adoption of digital marketing skills. Policymakers and agricultural institutions must support continuous learning models that connect production with market access through practical, user-friendly digital training.

Abstract

Urban youth often lack access to practical agricultural education, especially in non-formal learning environments where structured curricula are limited. The community faces increasing challenges in food security, environmental awareness, and sustainable skill-building among students with limited exposure to farming. The community service program aimed to improve students’ understanding of vertical agriculture through practical and inclusive educational activities. The facilitators delivered hands-on workshops at PKBM Cahaya Rejeki, involving 20 students in interactive sessions using recycled materials to build vertical gardens in limited urban spaces. The team applied the Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Rank Test to compare students’ pre-test and post-test results, finding a statistically significant increase in their agricultural knowledge. Field observations confirmed the positive outcome, as students showed increased enthusiasm, curiosity, and confidence throughout the activities. The program bridged educational and environmental gaps by offering a simple, relatable, and replicable gardening model. The initiative demonstrated that vertical gardening could serve as a powerful tool to promote sustainability, practical skills, and ecological literacy among underserved urban youth. The findings suggest that local governments, educators, and community institutions should collaborate to integrate urban farming into non-formal education programs, thereby ensuring a broader impact and promoting long-term behavioral change.

Abstract

The rapid deterioration of soybean seeds during storage severely limits the availability of high-quality planting stock. Seed invigoration, specifically through matriconditioning, a technique involving controlled hydration using a moist solid medium, offers a method to improve the germination capacity of aged seeds. This study was thus designed to ascertain the optimal dosage of vermicompost utilization as a matriconditioning agent for improving the physiological quality of soybean seeds. Vermicompost, the product of organic matter decomposition, provides a comprehensive nutrient profile that may enhance seed physiological quality. The research aimed to determine the optimal vermicompost dosage for improving soybean seed physiological quality. A two-factor Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications was employed. The factors were the priming ratio seed (g): vermicompost (g): water (ml) at four levels R0​ (control), R1​ (12:14:12), R2​ (12:14:13), R3​ (12:14:14) and priming duration four levels: D0​ (control), D1​ (6 hours), D2​ (12 hours), D3​ (18 hours). The experiment used Argomulyo cultivar seeds (initial germination 70-79%). Results indicated that the most effective invigoration treatment utilized the vermicompost priming ratio of 12:14:12 and an incubation period of 18 hours at ambient conditions (25±2 ºC).

Abstract

Organic rice cultivation following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is a key strategy for sustainable agriculture, yet its success depends on farmers’ participation in implementing Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). This study analyzes the factors influencing farmers’ participation in GAP within the Pangudi Bogo Farmers’ Group, Boyolali Regency. Using a quantitative approach with 30 respondents, data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method through multiple linear regression to identify factors affecting farmers’ participation in GAP. Farmers’ participation in GAP implementation was found to be relatively high. The results indicate that experience in organic farming and extension have a significant positive effect on farmers’ participation, whereas farmer satisfaction has a significant negative effect. In contrast, conventional farming experience and farm size were found to have no significant effect. The findings of this study highlight that enhancing organic farming experience and the role of agricultural extension agents are key factors in strengthening farmers’ participation in GAP. Moreover, farmers’ satisfaction with cultivation outcomes should be directed as a motivation to further engage in GAP implementation.
