Implementation of Traditional Agro forestry Development Producing Fruits
Implementation of Traditional Agro forestry Development Producing Fruits
GOAL :
The creation of productive traditional fruits-producing agroforestry that can increase the income of fruit breeders while maintaining the status of land cover to be able to maintain its function in the protection of soil, water and carbon storage. Thus, contributes in addressing climate change.

OBJECTIVES
Objective 1 : To increase the productivity of traditional agroforestry of fruits production and marketing fruits.
Indicators :
1. Increased number of fruit trees coming from qualified plants, from 213 trees/ha to 218 trees /ha.
2. Increased sales of fruit from 670 kg/person/year to 725 kg/person/year.
Activites :
1. Conducting selection of fruit seedlings from grafting in seed breeder, remove seedlings from the seed breeder?s place to several temporary nursery near enrichment site, choose the location of the nursery near to water sources thus it is easy to water the seedlings. They can learn to adapt to the local environment when planted later in the Dusung). The event was held by KP3IM, students and fruit growers in the 1st and 2nd month.
2. Enriching fruit trees, fertilizing, pruning and weeding branch (- Plants enrichment is done by planting the seeds out of breeder?s place. Then, they are planted in between the existing fruit trees on Dusung area by taking into account of the blank locations or appropriate spacing in order to avoid competition during growth between existing fruit trees with the enrichment ones; - Fertilizing plants is done by providing fertilizer for fruit trees during high growth rate, that happens when the tree is in the stage of seedling and sapling level and also for enrichment trees. If there are climbers/shrubs that interfere with the trees to be fertilized during the activities, then weeding and loosening of soil around the main stem are carried out. Fertilizer being used is organic fertilizer; - Weeding is carried out by cutting climbers/ liana or any parasites, including clearing grass or shrubs in a radius of 1.5 to 2 m of the main fruit trees when they are in stage of pole and tree. Then pruning is carried out when unproductive/dry branches or twigs are found). Activities will be carried out based on the results of previous observations through Dusung land mapping and inventory data of the composition and distribution of fruit trees in the area. The inventory results of the potential fruit trees per ha at various stages of growth in Dusung area are: 15 species of tree stage with 71 trees/ha; 13 species of pole stage with 43 poles/ha, 13 species of sapling stage with 53 saplings/ha and 16 species of seedlings stage with 46 seedlings/ha. Seedlings enrichment that will be carried out is 5 seedlings/ha, therefore a total of seeding needed on the area is 51 seedlings/ ha. Seedlings that will be developed in the area are endemic species such as durian, mangosteen, gandaria/ Bouea macrophylla, nutmeg, avocado, etc. The area to be planted belongs to private property. The activity will be held by KP3IM, students and growers in the 3rd to 5th (for 3 months).
3. Setting up the outlet of fruit products from growers by constructing 6 units of fruits stalls (measuring of 2x2x2,5 m) in strategic locations which leads to Pattimura International Airport. The fruit stall would be constructed on their own property land that is in the side of the road. Besides, a day of extension on fruit marketing techniques will be conducted. The event will be held by KP3IM, students and local communities in the 10th to 11th months (for 2 months).

Objective 2 : Increase the productivity of poultry farming to support environmentally friendly organic farming.
Indicators :
1. Increase number of poultry from 120 heads to 320 heads and number of cages from 2 to 12 units.
2. Increase egg production from 360 to 740 kg/year.
3. Increase amount of poultry manure from 1.2 to 2.3 tons/year which will be utilized in the implementation of organic farming on Dusung land.
4. Increase number of skilled farmers in the preparation of poultry feeds and health, from 4 to 14 people.
Activities :
1. Constructing poultry cages, providing poultry and feeds. Type of poultry to be developed is local chickens and ducks. The size of 10 units of cages to be built is 3.5 x2x2 m each and divided into 2 groups consisting of 5 units per cage. Each group is arranged in a single cage to ease the collection of waste as source of manure for organic fertilizer in order to support environmentally friendly organic farming. Two hundred heads and their feeds are procured for 1 year. Poultry cages will be built on land belong to farmers where the activities will take place. The activity will be held by KP3IM, students and farmers in the 6th to 9th month (for 4 months).
2. Carrying out a one day demonstration of preparing poultry food and health to farmers. This activity is carried out by lecturers and students of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, Unpatti in the 6th month.

Objective 3 : Improved quality of soil through planting conservation trees and constructing land terracing in areas of steep slope and improve farmers? understanding on soil conservation in their area.
Indicators :
1. Increased soil and water protection through the planting of conservation trees for soil protection such as bamboo (50 clumps), grasses (50 clumps) and root plants as supporter and water absorbent (300 eucalyptus saplings, sengon/Albizia chinensis, lenggua/ Pterocarpus indicus, pine and mahogany) and constructing terracing thus will prevent/reduce soil erosion on Dusung land owned by farmers.
2. Increased growers? understanding and awareness (30 farmers) who have been facilitated through series of training activities. They will be the agent of soil and water conservation in their respective lands in a sustainable manner.
Activities :
1. Planting conservation crops and constructing terracing in steep area of 800 m2 (0.8 ha). Terracing and planting pineapples will be made in steep Dusung area. Existing trees will be retained and pineapple will be planted among the existing trees. Terracing is built on private land owned by farmers where the activity takes place. The event will be held by KP3IM, students and their local communities in 9th to 11th months (for 3 months).
2. Constructing a one meter wide pathway in the length of 400 m on a steep site and constructing 1 unit of semi-permanent hut measuring 2.5 x 4x2 m. Footpaths and the hut will be constructed near the site of terraces and is located in a private land.
3. Conducting a one day extension on soil and water conservation. All of the activities will be carried out by KP3IM, students and local community in the 10th months (for 1 month).

Objective 4 : Knowing the performance of program implementation: Implementation of Traditional Fruits-Producing Agroforestry in the field.
Indicators : The entire program is implemented according to the physical quantity, cost and time that has been planned. Deviations between planned and actual implementation of the physical, cost and the time is not more than 10%.
Activities :
1. Make a logbook to record and analyze daily events implemented both in terms of physical, cost and time.
2. Carry out regular field monitoring in every 3 months.
3. Conduct the evaluation in the field in a regular basis, after monitoring in every three months has taken place.

EXPECTED OUTPUT
1. Increased growers? income from fruit producing agroforestry.
2. Increased protection of land and water as well as carbon storage.
3. Increased production of poultry and livestock manure as organic fertilizer.
4. Increased awareness and understanding of the community in managing fruits-producing agroforestry and poultry that is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
5. Endorsement in the planning of development of fruit producing agroforestry, such as the change of status to agro-tourism site or sustainable forest management through Indonesian Eco-labeling Institute (LEI) certification.
6. Availability of models and concept of community empowerment.
