Abstract
ABSTRACT
National food security faces complex challenges, such as climate change and declining soil fertility. As an initial solution, the "Socialization of Organic Farming Gapoktan Pesona Petani Nusantara" program in Wukirsari Village aims to introduce basic concepts and techniques of organic farming to farmers. The main focus of this program is to build initial awareness, increase farmer capacity, and prepare the foundation for the implementation of sustainable agriculture in the future.
Through socialization activities and practical training, farmers are introduced to composting methods, crop rotation, and the use of local organic materials. As an initial step, this program has succeeded in increasing farmers' understanding of the benefits of organic farming, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and encouraging the role of Gapoktan as a facilitator. This program is expected to be a catalyst for change towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural system, as well as providing a strong foundation for further development.
