Adaptation and Mitigation Program in Overcoming Climate Change Through Conservation Agriculture Technology
Conservation Agriculture Field School In the Dryland Farmer Empowerment
Its impact has been greatly felt in most regions of Indonesia. For the area / island of Bali the impact of climate change in the form of drought has already been felt, many of the lands that were once productive have now become dry and left behind by residents (farmers) because of the lack of water resources.

Conservation Agriculture Field School In the Dryland Farmer Empowerment
Impact of Climate Change has been greatly felt in most regions of Indonesia. For the area / island of Bali the impact of climate change in the form of drought has already been felt, many of the lands that were once productive have now become dry and left behind by residents.
(farmers) because of the lack of water resources. The more years the number of dry and non-productive land increases, the more productive land becomes less, the more open unemployment becomes apparent. Community food security has been disrupted and the flow of urbanization has increased. This problem must be addressed immediately.
One of the efforts that can be done to overcome the problem of drought is through the Conservation Agriculture System / Technique:
There are 3 main principles of Conservation Agriculture;
1. Minimum tillage is not processed at all
2. Plant cover crops between the main plants to prevent evaporation, inhibit weed growth and maintain soil fertility and moisture
3. Intercropping system between types of legume and non-legume plants, is able to break the chain of pests and diseases, increase production from the diversity of agricultural products, and increase organic N levels in the soil from the activity of Rhizobium bacteria in root nodules / legumes
With the Conservation Farming system, previously dry and barren land gradually becomes green and productive. And farmers will return to be excited about farming even though they have limited water resources.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION (maximum 2 pages)
Explain the hypothesis / change assumptions and strategies that will be used by the proposal proponent to overcome the problems mentioned in the contextual analysis above.
3 Main Principles in Agriculture Conservation is carried out through:
1. Minimum tillage by making planting holes, trenches and planting grooves
This system will be able to accommodate rainwater as much as possible for planting needs of 2 - 3 planting seasons, and the soil conditions remain moist and fertile.
2. Cover crop planting, intended to maintain soil moisture, inhibit weed growth, increase organic N elements in the soil through the activity of Nitrogen Bacteria in legume root nodules
3. Intercroping / intercropping planting system, increasing income through 2-3 commodities at once in one planting season "Specific activities carried out in the form of: making demonstration plots in 4 location and carried out:
1. Socialization (indoor meeting) about the introduction of the phenomenon of Climate Change, explanation and learning of the basic principles and techniques of Conservation Agriculture
2. Making a Demontration plot (land for experiments) as a place for learning, direct practice and knowing the results of a conservation farming system
3. Soil processing (making planting holes, planting trenches and grooves)
4. Giving organic material to holes, trenches and grooves (manure)
5. Planting main crops (corn)
6. Planting a cover crop crop of komak beans, red beans , edamame ( soiyabeans )
7. Plantation maintenance (monitoring)
8. Harvest
9. Program Evaluation and Sustainability

Project impacts to be achieved:
Agricultural land that is initially unproductive is productive
Farmers are again excited to grow crops because there is an increase in yields
Soil fertility and soil moisture are maintained and the ecosystem in the soil is well protected
Reducing carbon emissions through a continuous plant system
Increased yield from intercropping planting systems
Production costs are declining because they do not use chemicals and modern mechanical devices in the soil treatment process (do not use tractors to plow)
The texture and structure of the soil is not damaged and the life of microorganisms in the soil is maintained
Project outcomes to be achieved:
Employment in the agricultural sector is increasingly open,
Community resilience to food consumption is maintained
The quality of life of the nutrition and food community is improving
Environmental and ecosystem conditions on farms are maintained, and sustainable.
Suppressing the flow of urbanization and making the agricultural sector a promising source of livelihood especially with the marketing system supported by 4.0 network technology
OUTPUT, ACTIVITIES, STRATEGIES (maximum 2 pages)
From the outcomes that your organization has identified above, provide an output / product explanation that the organization made in this project activity. Also provide a description of activities / activities that must be carried out so that the output / product can be achieved and the method the organization uses.
Project strategy:
The introduction of cover crop types "edamame" better known as Japanese soybean plants, export products that are quite promising with optimal production yields reaching 10 tons / ha with prices at the farm level of Rp. 10,000, - And the income from cultivating the cover crop edamame can reach Rp 100,000,000 / ha / 75 days.
This opportunity is quite promising if it can be managed well from upstream to downstream. And support from various parties, both the Government, NGOs, Private and Farmers themselves.
An introduction to the Agriculture Conservation system and technology must start with the activities of the "SLPK" Conservation Agriculture Field School and be supported by good commodity prices and export value.
From the SLPK activities, farmers were introduced to the phenomenon of climate change and its impacts, the introduction of climate change adaptation and mitigation, the dissemination of new commodities with high economic value. Project strategy:

The process of discussion and transfer of knowledge and marketing strategies for agricultural products with 4.0 technology applications
The NGO Mappas organization, with various stakeholders will be able to invite, facilitate and provide cultivation technical assistance, post-harvest processes to product marketing to jointly realize food self-sufficiency and improve the welfare of farmers and their families, moreover able to adapt and mitigate impacts climate change especially "drought" in the agricultural sector.
Project output to be achieved:
From this SLPK activity, farmers understand and understand how to cope with drought as a result of climate change and are willing to go back to agriculture by implementing conservation farming techniques and cultivating crops with limited water resources conditions
Able to maintain the preservation of natural resources and improve soil fertility without having to incur high costs
The increase in yield through planting of cover crop edamame plants will be able to increase the desire of farmers to return to cultivating their land.
