Penerapan sistem tanam monokultur pada budidaya tanaman sawi memiliki risiko  produksi, resiko harga dan resiko penghasilan. Resiko tersebut dapat diatasi dengan penerapan teknologi tanaman seri dan penerapan strategi produk campuran melalui diversifikasi tanaman dan sumber penghasilan. Tujuan yang hendak dicapai adalah menambah pengetahuan kelompok sasaran akan kandungan dan khasiat buah ciplukan bagi pemeliharaan kesehatan tubuh; menambah mengetahui petani tentang nilai ekonomi komoditas buah ciplukan; dan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan petani tentang teknologi budidaya tanaman seri sebagai strategi menghasilkan buah dan benih ciplukan sebagai sumber penghasilan baru (product mix). Agar tujuan tersebut dapat tercapai maka dilaksanakan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan menggunakan metode pendidikan orang dewasa (andragogy) yaitu melakukan pendampingan kepada anggota kelompok tani yang mengusahakan tanaman sawi caisim. Sebagai entry point pendampingan adalah mengintroduksikan teknologi budidaya tanaman sawi caisim sistem seri, dan penanaman tanaman ciplukan dengan teknik polibag dan/atau sebagai tanaman penyangga tanaman sawi caisim sebagai upaya  menghindari risiko produksi, resiko harga, dan resiko penghasilan.  Hasil yang dicapai dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat adalah: pengetahuan petani peserta pengabdian kepada masyarakat telah meningkat dari 61,9%  menjadi 83,33% tentang pupuk dan teknik pemupukan tanaman sawi; dari 21 orang peserta yang hadir dalam kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat diantaranya 30,16% telah mengetahui manfaat ekonomi dan teknologi budidaya sistem tanam seri sawi caisim; buah dan benih ciplukan dapat diperoleh dari hasil budidaya menggunakan polibag atau tanam langsung di tanah dengan memanfaatkan lahan pekarangan yang terbuka dan memperoleh penyinaran matahari langsung, atau melalui diversifikasi tanaman sawi caisim dengan tanaman ciplukan

Women in Teratak Village, North Batukliang District, Central Lombok Regency are still seen as the main actors in the realization of household food security.

Various approaches have been promoted by the Innovative Farm Systems and Capability for Agribusiness Activity (IFSCA) Program to improve small farmers' the livelihoods in North Lombok District -Indonesia. Through this collaborative action-research program involving Mataram University (Lombok -Indonesia), Massey University (New Zealand), and the local government, some horticulture innovations had been introduced to the smallholder farmers such as growth hormone, growing safe, high beds, plastic mulch, compost, pruning technique, and drip irrigation. A study was conducted to understand (1) farmers' adoption behavior of these innovations, (2) the impacts of the innovation adoption the horticulture production, job creation, and farmers' income, (3) factors affecting farmers' adoption behaviorsimpacts of earthquake and COVID-19 pandemic. A mix method approach was used for the study interviewing 60 farmers from 8 farmer groups participated in the IFSCA Program. The results show 100% farmers have adopted the horticulture innovations, increased the production and smallholder farmers' income. Changes in work patterns were identified as the results of the adoption behavior and changes of farming system, from previously food crop farming system to hoticulture farming. The adoption of horticulture innovations has created new jobs along the value chain. Higher profit, continuous production, job creation, and doing horticultural business are important factors affecting farmers' adoption behaviors. However, a big earthquake in July -August 2018, and COVID-19 pandemic that took place early 2020 have had significant impacts on the smallholder farmers' adoption rate. Horticulture farming scale decreased due to the big earthquake and COVID-19 pandemic, and another challenging effort is needed to bring the horticulture business back to normal.

This study aimed to 1) analyze the roles and tasks of female seaweed farmers or wives of male seaweed farmers in Sumenep Regency, 2) analyze the factors affecting the roles of those women to increase family income. The research employed quantitative and qualitative methods, using a questionnaire, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and observations as the means to collect the data. Most of them worked as day-based laborers for seaweed farming. The average income earned was IDR 585,100/month. The domestic role of female seaweed farmers as housewives included cooking, taking care of the house, taking children to and picking them up from school, caring for children, and managing family finances. Work-hour, educational background, work experience, and the number of children as variables simultaneously affected the wives’ income share on family income. However, work-hour as a variable did not have a significant effect on it.

The behaviour of women in providing, obtaining, and utilizing food can determine the status of household food security. Consumption of diverse food including animal protein is very important to prevent stunting. The level of energy consumption which is still below the national standard and the low consumption of animal protein by the people of West Nusa Tenggara Province contribute to the high number of stunting cases in West Nusa Tenggara Province, especially West Lombok Regency. To reduce it, the Government of West Lombok has provided guidance to coastal communities through extension activities on optimizing the marketing and processing of fish caught to fisherwomen. This study aims to find out about the role of extension workers in supporting household food security, analyse the influence of the role of extension workers on the behaviour of women fishermen and analyse the effect of women’s behaviour on the status of household food security. The research was conducted in Batu Layar District, in Meninting Village and Senteluk Village and Lembar District, Sheet Village and South Sheet Village. The research was conducted using an explanatory survey method with data collection through interviews with 60 respondents, observations, and in-depth interviews with several fisherwomen informants and key informant. Then the data was analysed by regression analysis. The results of the analysis indicate that the higher the role of the extension worker will be able to change the behaviour of fisherwomen, and changes in the behaviour of fisherwomen will improve the status of household food security. Thus, increasing the competence of extension workers must be comprehensive, not only focusing on the production aspect but also on the importance of food and nutrition aspects. Then, it is necessary to encourage an increase in the role of extension workers in conducting counselling and mentoring to change the behaviour of fisherwomen in processing, selecting, providing, and distributing diverse and nutritious food to each household member.
