Optimalisasi Potensi Sumber Daya Pertanian Melalui Inovasi Pertanian

“…Berkaitan dengan aspek pertanian di perkotaan bahwa saat ini lebih mengarah pada urban farming yang cenderung memanfaatkan lahan pekarangan atau lahan terbatas yang terdapat di dalam rumah maupun luar rumah. Hal ini selaras pada kegiatan pengabdian di Dusun Walang Sukoharjo (Asmoro et al, 2022)bahwa untuk meningkatkan motivasi generasi milenial pada bidang pertanian, karang taruna diberikan kegiatan praktik teknik penanaman metode hidroponik, akuakultur, dan vertikultur yang tentunya terdapat sosialisasi sebelum teknis pelaksanaan serta praktik pemilahan sampah rumah tangga untuk mendukung kegiatan urban farming. Oleh karena itu, lahan pertanian yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat, penting untuk dipertahankan dengan mengoptimalkan potensi sumber daya pertanian yang dimiliki dan memberikan pemahaman masyarakat untuk terus memanfaatkan sumber daya pertanian serta menerapkan inovasi pertanian sesuai kebutuhan masyarakat.…”
