Penguatan Kapasitas Petani Dalam Adopsi Teknologi Modern Untuk Pertanian Berkelanjutan Di Desa Pesu

Abstract

Rooted in the urgency to accelerate rural modernization without disrupting social harmony, this community service initiative deploys a holistic framework that synergizes mechanical integration with institutional revitalization in Pesu Village. The transition toward modern mechanization has successfully drastically curtailed labor costs and expedited land processing times, enabling farmers to strategically reallocate their financial surplus toward more productive household needs. Concurrently, the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices guarantees the long-term preservation of soil quality, thereby securing the farmers' primary production assets. On an organizational spectrum, the capacity building of the local farmer group has yielded profound strategic benefits, transforming them into a highly organized entity capable of collective technological management and broader market networking. This elevated level of professionalism inherently boosts their creditworthiness (bankability), smoothing the pathway to secure formal banking credit for future production expansions. Macro-economically, this direct immersion provides universities with rich empirical data to contemporize agricultural socio-economic curricula. Simultaneously, it supplies the local government with a highly effective, non-destructive public policy prototype for rural empowerment, ultimately proving that structural investment in human capital and appropriate technology is the definitive key to sovereign agrarian development.
