ABSTRAK Kegiatan bertujuan meningkatkan kemampuan dan ketrampilan anggota kelompok tani dalam mengembangkan pertanian terpadu dengan cara meningkatkan kemampuan dan ketrampilan para anggotanya dalam hal penguasaan teknologi budidaya tanaman pangan, peternakan, dan perikanan secara terpadu, serta kemampuan berwirausaha. Tujuan adalah terbentuknya desa Tidu sebagai pusat pengembangan pertanian terpadu. Berdasarkan permasalahan yang ada, perlu dilakukan usaha pembinaan berkesinambungan. Metode yang digunakan adalah pelatihan dan alih teknologi pertanian terpadu dengan melibatkan mahasiswa peserta KKN-PPM untuk melakukan kegiatan pendampingan dan pembinaan.Pelatihan dilakukan dengan perkuliahan klasikal dan alih teknologi dengan praktik langsung. penyampaian materi dilakukan dengan metode ceramah, diskusi, dan simulasi. Praktik langsung budidaya tanaman pangan, budidaya ternak, dan budidaya ikan lele mulai dari persiapan, pengolahan hasil, teknik pengemasan dan perijinan. Pendampingan dilakukan selama pelatihan dan alih teknologi, Pembinaan dilakukan dengan membimbing dan memantau anggota kelompok tani setelah kegiatan pelatihan selesai, pembinaan dilakukan secara rutin setiap dua minggu atau sesuai permintaan mitra atau Tim KKN-PPM. Kemitraan diwujudkan dengan memberi bantuan modal dan teknis. Bantuan modal berupa sarana dan prasarana pertanian terpadu. Bantuan teknis berupa peningkatan kemampuan dan ketrampilan pertanian terpadu. Kata Kunci : kelompok tani, pemberdayaan, dan pendampingan ABSTRACT Activities aimed at improving the capabilities and skills of members of farmers in developing integrated farming by improving the capabilities and skills of its members in terms of technological mastery on cultivation of food crops, livestock and fisheries in an integrated manner, as well as entrepreneurship skills. It is to make Tidu as the center of an integrated agricultural development. The method used is the training and integrated agricultural technology transfer.Training is done with classical lectures and technology transfer to the practice. Delivery of material is done by lectures, discussions, and simulations. Practice of food crop cultivation, animal breeding, and cultivation of catfish ranging from the preparation, processing, packaging and licensing techniques.Assistance was done during training and technology transfer, coaching is done by guiding and monitoring the members of farmers after the training is completed, the coaching is done routinely. Partnership is realized by providing capital and assistance. Assistance is integrated agricultural infrastructure. Technical assistance is increased capacity and integrated farming skills. Keywords : farmer groups, cultivation, assistance, and coaching

Abstract In this article I seek to present certain problematics related to the ProSAVANA agricultural development program, highlighting a mismatch between a political sphere and a scientific sphere, which allowed me to reflect on some effects of the technical discourse that has guided the implementation of this international cooperation project. From research that sought to do an ethnography on the operationalization of this program, I intend to present the manner in which such technopolitical breakdowns in the proposed “technologies transfer” have produced a composition of different temporalities, which conferred a particular pace to the effectiveness of ProSAVANA. In order to describe this strange relation between different forms of knowledge that are expressed in the time of accomplishing a development project - unfolding at different speeds -, I follow the idea of Mbembe (2011) that in the postcolony, time is constantly emerging. In this sense, throughout this article I seek to describe how, by decomposing these different speeds, it is possible to understand the temporalities that emerge from the particular entanglement of technopolitical relations that confer the materiality of this development project.

The Impact

Oil palm is the most efficient oil crop that is vital to oil commodity due to its versatility for being a practical raw material in producing a number of commercial products globally. Therefore, the supply of palm oil is believed to increase in order to meet the growing demand of the world population. Malaysia is the second-largest palm oil exporter in South -East Asia after Indonesia with 40% of the total output is contributed by Malaysia’s smallholders. However, reports stated that the yield among smallholder’s plantations is low and eventually will affect the national Gross Domestic Products (GDP). In 2019, Malaysia’s palm oil total GDP was estimated to be 38.24 billion Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). In relation to the issue, low yield among the smallholders is believed to be caused by the lack of application and awareness of current technology available to aid plantation operation. Hence, agricultural technology transfer is the modern agricultural invention to improve oil palm production productivity. A review paper on the agricultural technology transfer was carried out to identify the impact of the technology transfer on palm oil smallholders' production. This approach encompassed the introduction of technology to smallholders, the technology transfer process and technology applications awareness for smallholders. The data was collected through reading on research papers, especially on productivity and engagement of smallholders on the understanding of the technology transfer through the questionnaire. The review concluded that smallholders had practised a good agricultural practice. However, low productivity was caused by the inadequate inputs among the farmers regarding the available technology, crop protection and management. Therefore, technology transfer and technology recommendation is proven to effectively help broaden smallholders’ inputs and knowledge to increase their socioeconomic status and plantation productivity.
