<![CDATA[Integrated Participatory Developmenet and Management of Irrigation Program (IPDMIP) is one of the government programs contained in Indonesia's 2005-2025 RPJPN to support national food security. Strengthening farmer groups is one thing that supports the successful implementation of the IPDMIP program.

Farmer group development programs are not carried out consistently, and there is still a lack of counseling and assistance for farmer groups.
