Keywords:
Agricultural Productivity, Agricultural Technology, Konawe Regency, Smart Farming, VillageAbstract
Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, is one of the agricultural centers with great potential in rice, corn, and horticulture commodities. However, agricultural productivity in rural areas still meets various challenges, including limited use of technology, low efficiency in the use of production inputs, and dependence on traditional farming methods. This Community Service activity aims to increase the productivity and efficiency of farming businesses through the application of Smart Farming-based Agricultural Technology that is suitable for the local conditions of villages in Konawe Regency. The implementation methods include socialization, training, field drilling (demonstration plots), and assistance in the implementation of appropriate agricultural technology. The activity content includes the concepts of Smart Farming, water-efficient irrigation, precision fertilization, the utilization of digital agricultural applications, along with harvest and post-harvest management. The results of the activities show an improvement of farmers' knowledge and skills in adopting agricultural technology, increasing the efficiency of water and fertilizer use, and the potential for increased agricultural productivity. This activity is envisioned to become a model for sustainable Smart Farming Village development that can be replicated in other areas within Konawe Regency.
