Year 2000

Three decades ago, West Nusa Tenggara or Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) was a resource of Bali cattle meat, to either provides national supply or export. However, since the year 2000, meat supply from NTB has been limited and there has been decreasing Bali cattle productivity. Low productivity of Bali cattle has been caused by severals factors such as: traditional way, in a small scale number cattle, in a relatively small size of land with limitation of feed availability in raising cattle. On the other hand, rice straw which potential for cattle feeding, has been burned which may induce pollution. In addition, cattle manure was also thrown to the field or to the river which may spread parasites infestation. As a consequuence, under NTB condition, Bali cattle has low productivity, with high cost of raising. Application of mixed farming may lead farm efficiency by reducing feeding cost, by using rice straws and processing manure as organic fertilizer. Mixed farming may provide solution to NTB farmers by leading zero waste and by inducing environmental friendly (<em>eco-farming</em>). Under mixed farming system, in order to improve cattle production, appropriate technology are essential to be implemented. Hopefully, production of Bali cattle and others agricultural comodities may increase optimally. Finally, higher income can be obtained and farmers may have a better live.

On Farm

AbstractOn smallholder farms in Ethiopia, livestock manure and organic residues are traditionally removed from fields for construction, feed, and fuel purposes, while the remainder stays in the field as feed or fertilizer. Burning and removing organic matter without replacing it leads to valuable losses of on-farm nutrients and soil carbon, which could otherwise be used to fertilize crops. Instead, resources need to be used efficiently by reducing and recycling organic residues and forming a closed production system. Competition between applications can be eliminated by bio-methanation using a biodigester. There, organic residues are transformed to biogas utilized for light and cooking and bioslurry, a nutritious organic fertilizer and source of organic matter. Through capturing nutrients in agricultural by-products, nutrients become available to the food system again. Literature review has been supplemented with empirical evidence from a study carried out in the central Ethiopian Highlands on 47 smallholder farms, to provide a baseline for further improvements on the management of biogas technology. The study identifies a series of inadequate handling practices and thus a significant potential to optimize the farming system around a biodigester. It is recommended to include forage legumes in the farm system to enhance on-farm available nutrients that can be recycled through a biodigester. It is further necessary to involve the private sector in biodigester programs, to improve local availability of materials, which are suitable to the local culture and traditions. Space for knowledge exchange between farmers and advisors like demonstration farms can further improve bioslurry management. Although challenges remain, the integration of a biodigester should be encouraged as it fulfills the production of energy and a nutritious and economic fertilizer without additional resources, resulting in a win-win situation for the farmer.

Cattle Rearing

Ayunan Village, is located in Abiansemal sub-district, Badung regency, Bali. Bali cattle are germplasm that must be preserved, for that we are collaborating with the Bali Karang Ayu and Karya laksana cattle groups in Ayunan village. The maintenance of Bali cattle in partners is very constrained by capital, feed and management of Balinese cattle maintenance is not carried out professionally because it is managed in a family, traditional way and is not a main source of livelihood. Bali cattle maintenance is only a sideline to fill spare time on the sidelines of farming time. The management of cow dung and manure has not been managed properly, which should still be managed into organic fertilizer, sold to farmers so that it can increase the income of farmers, so the solution we offer is to provide assistance and consultation as well as demonstration plots regarding good and correct management of Balinese cattle rearing. to increase Bali cattle production. The results of this community service activity can increase production, productivity as well as produce organic fertilizer from cow dung that can be sold so as to increase the income of Balinese cattle farmers in the two Bali cattle groups that we partner with

Provinsi Jambi memiliki peran yang cukup besar dalam dalam bidang perkebunan karena memiliki beberapa komoditi unggulan seperti perkebunan kelapa sawit dan karet. Kabupaten Bungo tahun pada tahun 2016 memiliki perkebunan karet seluas 98220 hektar dan perkebunan kelapa sawit mencapai 97.630 Ha. Penggunaan tanah secara simultan dalam perkebunan sawit akan mengurangi kualitas tanah, sehingga berdampak pada kualitas sawit yang dihasilkan. Untuk meningkatkan produksi, digunakan pupuk, yang biasanya digunakan berupa pupuk sintesis, yang dalam jangka panjang akan memberikan dampak negatif bagi lingkungan dan tanah, sehingga dibutuhkan keterampilan masyarakat dalam menghasilkan pupuk berbasis alam (organik) dengan memanfaatkan limbah hasil pertanian. Salah satu limbah pertanian yang dilaporkan oleh Koperasi Unit Desa (KUD) Karya Mukti Kecamatan Jujuhan Ilir, Kabupaten Bungo adalah biji karet, yang hampir sebagian besar belum termanfaatkan dengan baik. Biji karet diketahui memiliki mikroorganisme lokal yang bersifat probiotik sebagai fermenter dalam reaksi fermentasi menghasilkan pupuk organik. Pengabdian kepada masyarakat dalam mengolah potensi tersebut sangat diperlukan dalam rangka penerapan teknologi tepat guna bagi petani dan untuk menerapkan sistem pertanian organik untuk menciptakan produk pertanian yang berkualitas dan sehat serta menciptakan salah satu pupuk organik cair yang ramah lingkungan.  Tujuan Program ini adalah untuk memberikan pelatihan dan kompetensi kepada masyarakat dalam mengolah limbah perkebunan untuk menghasilkan pupuk organik cair yang merupakan salah satu dekomposer yang dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan kualitas hasil perkebunan. Selain itu, untuk jangka panjang, diharapkan program ini dapat meningkatkan keterampilan masyarakat untuk menghasilkan produk yang berkualitas dan berdaya saing. Kata kunci: Sawit, Karet, Fermenter, Pupuk Cair ABSTRACT Jambi Province has a significant role in the plantation sector because it has several superior commodities such as oil palm and rubber plantations. In 2016, Bungo District had rubber plantations covering 98.220 hectares and oil palm plantations 97.630 hectares. The simultaneous use of land in oil palm plantations will reduce the quality of the soil, thus having an impact on the quality of the palms produced. Usually, synthetic fertilizers use to increase production yields. The continued use of synthetic fertilizers will harm the soil and the environment, so that community skills are needed to produce natural-based (organic) fertilizers by utilizing agricultural waste. The Karya Mukti cooperative reports that rubber seeds are agriculture waste that has not to use appropriately. Rubber seeds are known to have local microorganisms that are probiotic as a fermenter in the fermentation reaction to produce organic fertilizer. Community service in processing this potential is needed to apply appropriate technology for farmers and to apply an organic farming system to create quality and healthy agricultural products and to create one of the environmentally friendly liquid organic fertilizers. This program aims to provide training and competence to the community in processing plantation waste to produce liquid organic fertilizer, which uses the decomposer to improve the quality of plantation products and also improve community skills to make quality and competitive products.

The use of maize waste plant materials (stem, leaf, and husk cover) have high economic value to be processed become organic fertilizer for agricultural land fertilizer. Maize have several and quite high contents of macro and micro nutrients. This activity was hoped that the farmers can overcome the increasing price of inorganic fertilizer recently and furthermore farmers can reap higher income. Beside higher income the use of organic fertilizer can improve the nature and behaviourof land through improving of soil chemical, soil physical, and soil microorganism. Therefore, the appropriate technology for processing of maize become organic fertilizer is very important to be diffused or socialized to farmers.Keywords: fertilizer, maize waste

Technology Choice

The implementation of urban village wastewater treatment plants in developing countries has historically been primarily a function of appropriate technology choice and deciding which of the many needy communities should receive the available funding and priority attention. Usually this process is driven by an outside funding agency who views the planning, design, and construction steps as relatively insignificant milestones in the overall effort required to quickly better a community's sanitary drainage problems. With the exception of very small scale type sanitation projects which have relatively simple replication steps, the development emphasis tends to be on the final treatment plant product with little or no attention specifically focused on community participation and institutionalizing national and local policies and procedures needed for future locally sponsored facilities replication. In contrast to this, the Government of Egypt (GOE) enacted a fresh approach through a Local Development Program with the United States AID program. An overview is presented of the guiding principals of the program which produced the first 24 working wastewater systems including gravity sewers, sewage pumping stations and wastewater treatment plants which were designed and constructed by local entities in Egypt. The wastewater projects cover five different treatment technologies implemented in both delta and desert regions.

Second Wave

This essay takes its cue from second-wave ecocriticism and from recent scholarly interest in the “appropriate technology” movement that evolved during the 1960s and 1970s in California and elsewhere. “Appropriate technology” (or AT) refers to a loosely-knit group of writers, engineers and designers active in the years around 1970, and more generally to the counterculture’s promotion, development and application of technologies that were small-scale, low-cost, user-friendly, human-empowering and environmentally sound. Focusing on two roughly contemporary but now largely forgotten American texts Sidney Goldfarb’s lyric poem “Solar-Heated-Rhombic-Dodecahedron” (1969) and Gurney Norman’s novel Divine Right’s Trip (1971)—I consider how “hip” literary writers contributed to eco-technological discourse and argue for the 1960s counterculture’s relevance to present-day ecological concerns. Goldfarb’s and Norman’s texts interest me because they conceptualize iconic 1960s technologies—especially the Buckminster Fuller-inspired geodesic dome and the Volkswagen van—not as inherently alienating machines but as tools of profound individual, social and environmental transformation. Synthesizing antimodernist back-to-nature desires with modernist enthusiasm for (certain kinds of) machinery, these texts adumbrate a humanity- and modernity-centered post-wilderness model of environmentalism that resonates with the dilemmas that we face in our increasingly resource-impoverished, rapidly warming and densely populated world.

AbstractA comparison of data collected in western Nigeria (the Yoruba area) in 1968-69 and 1988 suggests that small-scale male farmers' patterns of work remained quite similar in the total amount of work they did and in the amount by task. This finding seemed surprising, since the study area lies in the food supply hinterland of the rapidly growing cities of Ibadan, Lagos and Abeokuta. The farming system has changed in several ways in response to increased urban demand and improved transport, including an increase in farm size on the part of male farmers. Changed cropping patterns, the increased use of hired labour and somewhat increased returns to labour seem only partly to account for the persistence. Analysis of the work data in terms of its timing, rather than in terms of time, suggests that farmers are tending to work at the same task in longer stretches ofconsecutive days, and this, in turn, is related to the marked rescheduling of traditional ceremonial life and the intensified politico-associational life moved to the weekend.

Important Cash Crop

Potatoes are an important cash crop for small-scale producers worldwide. The move away from subsistence to commercialized farming, combined with the rapid growth in demand for processed agricultural products in developing countries, implies that small-scale farmers and researchers alike must begin to respond to these market changes and consider post-harvest treatment as a critical aspect of the potato farming system. This paper presents and assesses a low cost potato-grading machine that was designed explicitly to enable small-scale potato growers to sort tubers by size for supply to commercial processors. The results of ten experiments reveal that the machine achieves an accuracy of sort similar to commercially available graders. The machine, which uses parallel conical rollers, has the capacity to grade different tuber shapes and to adjust sorting classes, making it suitable for locations with high potato diversity. Its relatively low cost suggests that an improved and adapted version of this machine might enhance market integration of small-scale potato producers not only in Peru, but in other developing countries as well.

The Hoge Kempen rural industrial transition landscape: a layered landscape of Outstanding Universal Value? Up until the beginning of the 20th century, the eastern part of the Belgian province of Limburg was a sparsely populated and not very productive part of the country. The dominating heathland was maintained with sheep, which were an essential part of a small-scale extensive farming system. This all changed when coal was discovered in 1901. Seven large coalmines were established in a few decades, each one employing thousands of coal-miners. This also meant that entire new garden cities were built, to house the coal-miners and their families. The confrontation between the small-scale traditional land-use and the new large-scale industrial developments defines the landscape up to today. The scale and the force of the turnover are considered unprecedented for Western Europe, which is why it is being presented by Belgium for inclusion in the World Heritage List.
