UNS<\/a><\/strong> – Students of the Faculty of Agriculture (FP) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta realized sustainable agriculture through training on making liquid organic fertilizer in Sanggang Village, Sukoharjo. This activity was initiated by students of the Agricultural Extension and Communication Study Program<\/a> (PKP) UNS. This training is part of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka<\/em>, or Free Campus Independent Learning, (MBKM) and its research program on millennial farmers was designed by PKP UNS students. Most of the population of Sanggang Village works in the agricultural sector. About 30 residents of Sanggang Village took part in this training on Saturday (27\/5\/2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBKM student team consists of five people, namely Muhammad Ivan Rizki as chairman, Ermanda Puspaningtyas, Naufal Rastra Subhi, Nathania Fredlina Shaffa Haurelia, and Aulia Istiqomah Sularno, collaborating with Kanz.id. Kanz.id is a start-up engaged in community empowerment and sustainable agriculture. Angelo Di Lorenzo who served as CFO and Rifka Atmajaya as CMO Kans.id were also present at this activity to provide training on making Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC) to the people of Sanggang Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We all know that fertilizer subsidies from the government are decreasing in number. Making organic fertilizer can be an alternative to meeting the nutritional needs of plants besides using subsidized chemical fertilizers,” Angelo explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angelo continued that POC is generally used for rice plants. However, other plant commodities other than rice, such as crops, can also use this fertilizer. He also added that organic fertilizers are more environmentally friendly and can improve soil quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The use of chemical fertilizers that are too frequent and exceed the dosage can damage the soil, as time goes by, the soil becomes hard and infertile. One solution is to use organic fertilizers to improve it,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
