Monoculture farming of arabica coffee plantation does not support environmental sustainability. International market demands arabica coffee product in compliance with an environmentally friendly standard which promotes ecological-based management. This study aims to identify the ecological aspects of specialty arabica coffee cultivation, and to analyze the effect of shade tree population, the use of organic fertilizer, the pruning of coffee crop, land conservation, and the control of coffee berry borer on specialty arabica coffee production. The data of ecological aspect was collected from three regencies in North Sumatera Province, namely Simalungun, North Tapanuli, and Dairi. Production determinant was analyzed concerning farming cultivation in three districts of Simalungun Regency namely Sidamanik, Pamatang Sidamanik, and Dolok Pardamean. The location was determined with multi-stage cluster sampling and the farmer samples with simple random sampling. The ecological aspect was analyzed descriptively while the determinant of arabica coffee production was analyzed with multiple regression method. The result shows that the shaded arabica coffee farming covers only 32% of the total arabica coffee production in the study area with a population of 54 trees/ha. Land conservation conducted by the farmers utilizes coffee fruit mulch (92%), individual terrace (3%), rorak (4%), and bench terrace (1%). The arabica coffee farming system managed by the farmers consists of monoculture (30%), mix farming (24%), shade coffee (32%), and multistrata coffee (14%). The pruning of coffee plants and integrated control of coffee berry borer has a significant effect on specialty arabica coffee production. Land conservation, population of shade tree, and organic fertilizer are an important production determinant on arabica coffee production in the short-term. These three ecological variables play a role to maintain land preservation and support sustainable arabica coffee production in the long-term.

Additional Income

Banyusoco village in Gunungkidul has more than 60% of its land as state forests managed by several forest farmer groups in Hutan Kemasyarakatan scheme (HKm) majority planted Teak (Tectona grandis). Problem of "delayed" revenue through harvesting slow-growing Teak stands could be resolved by planting a type of tubers or empon-empon under the stand, so that forest floor may earn additional income. Our community service focuses on introduction of Porang tuber plants (Amorphophallus oncocphyllus) to a) increase environmental knowledge and skills of farmers in agroforestry-Porang cultivation; b) increase knowledge and skills of farmers in harvesting and managing post-harvest of Porang; c) increase farmers' income from Porang. Our first of three year activities program included institutional workshops and introduction of Porang cultivation, procurement of Porang seeds, development of demonstration plot, and facilitation on planting Porang under stands. Temporary result was a 0.5 ha-demonstration plot with 4,000 seeds supporting by HKm "Sedyo Makmur" which positively impacts in a) fostering cohesiveness of members with mutual cooperation every Thursday (Kamisan) in preparing and maintaining land; b) increasing members' understanding in cultivation Porang; c) becoming a portfolio in national HKm competition. Following year's community empowerment program continues to be focused on maintaining, harvesting and marketing Porang.

Second Year

This paper was abstracted from writer experiences in conducting the second year Community Service program among farmer group organizations in Anduriang Village at Padang Pariaman Regency. This program was aimed at increasing the knowledge and skills of farmer groups’ human resources in processing animal feed made from natural raw materials, especially from the golden snail, which has often been the enemy of farmers all this time. This study was inspired by various conditions that indicated the powerless of the farmer groups in overcoming the problem of golden snail pests in the Anduriang Village at Padang Pariaman Regency. This issue was reflected in part from the lack of understanding and awareness of farmers in controlling the golden snail pests. Based on this condition, various farmer empowerment programs were needed to be implemented in the form of increasing the farmers’ knowledge and skills in economic development of the society, particularly for the farmer group as target groups of this program. These empowerment programs needed to be conducted collaboratively and synergistically between the local government and universities.
