PKM PENINGKATAN NILAI TAMBAH LIMBAH KULIT KOPI PADA KELOMPOK WANITA TANI DI KAWASAN WISATA KINTAMANI, BANGLI-BALI

Belantih Village, which is located in the western part of the Kintamani tourist area with beautiful scenery and landscapes and fertile soil, is a dominant center for producing horticultural products, coffee and citrus plantations. Most of the people of Belantih Village still rely on working in the agricultural sector as their main source of income. Taking advantage of the development of tourism, farmers can fill tourism needs by cultivating plants properly. Until now, in Belantih Village, the most developed plants are beans, tomatoes, cabbage, eggplant, chilies covering 11.13 ha, while for citrus fruits it is 175 ha and coffee plants are 282 ha. To support the growth and development of plants in addition to using inorganic fertilizers, most farmers still use organic fertilizers derived from cow and chicken manure which are easily available in large quantities and can meet the needs of a fairly large planting area from outside the Belantih Village area. Until now, the source of organic fertilizer that can actually be utilized from coffee rind waste from the rest of the wet processing or other processing from factories around Belantih Village is still not processed further in order to improve the quality of the waste as a source of fertilizer. This opportunity can actually be used by women farmer groups as an opportunity to supply organic fertilizer from solid coffee husk waste. The nutrient content contained in coffee husk waste when given a touch of technology will be a source of nutrients for plants. The purpose of this PKM activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of partners in coffee cultivation and after post-harvest the use of coffee husk waste as organic fertilizer in substituting the use of inorganic fertilizers in partner areas. In addition, it can be an alternative that solid coffee husk waste for communities around partners can be used as organic fertilizer in fertilizing cultivated plants in addition to organic fertilizers from cows and chickens that have been used today. The touch of technology in the processing of coffee skin waste is expected to add value to the fertilizer produced. Activities are carried out with counseling, discussions, direct practice in the field. This PKM program was carried out in a women's farmer group "Merta Sari Sabang" in Belantih Village, Kintamani District - Bangli Regency, Bali Province.

What Is the Nature of Women’s Tenure Security in Sub-Saharan Africa Rural Land Markets? Some Evidence from Nigeria

As parts of rural transformation and consequent evolution of land tenure in sub-Saharan Africa, land markets now provide another channel through which women access land. Little remains known about women’s experiences in the markets however, and on the nature of their tenure security in particular. This article provides one of the first empirical examinations of women’s tenure security on market-accessed plots. I do this by analysing tenure security variations across both market and non-market tenure arrangements among a group of Nigerian women farmers. From seemingly unrelated regressions, I find tenure insecurity to be more likely if a woman is cultivating rented plots, less likely if she is cultivating purchased or husband-allocated plots while irrelevant if she is cultivating family-allocated plots. These results highlight the need for greater research and policy interest in rural land markets, and in improving women’s tenancy contracts in rental markets.

Empowerment of Women's Farmer Groups of “Kembang Lestari” in the Processing of Organic Waste from Various Fruit Peels as Liquid Fertilizer


 
 
 
 Partners in the implementation of Community Service is the Kembang Lestari Peasant Women's Group located in Taman Village, Abian Semal Subdistrict, Badung Regency. This group has problems with the high price of chemical fertilizers and vegetable pesticides for the treatment of cultivated crops. This condition causes an increase in production costs and decreased profits. They have yet to find a solution to get cheaper, environmentally friendly plant-based fertilizers and pesticides that they will use in their organic farms in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an alternative to organic fertilizers while serving as vegetable pesticides that are easy to make, cheap, and environmentally friendly. The alternative is an eco-enzyme that can be made from organic waste in the form of fruit peels. Eco-enzymes have the same benefits as liquid fertilizers, compost, anti-bacterial, midges, and disinfectants. Women's Farmer Groups of Kembang Lestari are given knowledge of eco-enzymes and their benefits, how to make and how to apply them to plants. The methods carried out in the implementation of this activity are by interviewing, face-to-face, counseling, and practice methods directly. First, the authors held general counseling on what an eco-enzyme is, its benefits for plants, and environmental sustainability. Second, the authors provide hands-on training in the manufacture of eco-enzymes and how to implement them and conduct several evaluations to ensure farmers can make eco-enzymes independently and see what percentage of the increased production and increased profits earned by the farmer group after the implementation of these eco-enzymes. Third, it motivates farmers to keep using eco-enzyme fertilizers continuously in cultivating crops.
