Sarolangun – Monitoring and Oversight of the Preparations for the 2024–2025 BioCF ISFL Program at the Sarolangun Hilir UPTD-KPHP (Field Management Unit) was conducted to ensure the program's readiness and performance were running according to plan. This monitoring also aimed to ensure that goods and services from the Jambi Province BioCF ISFL Program were on target and to identify any obstacles in the field.
One of the highlighted activities was the implementation of the Agroforestry Field School in Sungai Merah Village in Fiscal Year 2024. This program is part of the implementation of the Jambi Province BioCF ISFL program to increase community capacity in sustainable land management.
The Field School was designed to improve community knowledge and skills in agroforestry-based land management. The primary motivation for participants in this activity was the hope of improving their standard of living, both in terms of increased insight and the potential for economic income through long-term plant management.
During its implementation, the Field School program has successfully established a 3-hectare agroforestry demonstration plot. The cultivated crops include long-term commodities such as durian and mango. Because these are perennial crops, increased incomes will not be immediately apparent.
Nevertheless, the community has demonstrated its commitment to continuing to manage the land and crops. Consistency and commitment from group members are required for at least the next five years to achieve optimal results and to enjoy them together.
Overall, the Agroforestry Field School program in Sungai Merah Village for the 2024 Fiscal Year was successfully implemented. This program is considered successful in broadening the community's understanding of the importance of long-term land management as an investment for the future.
Going forward, support in the form of ongoing technical assistance, advanced training, and the provision of land management facilities and infrastructure is essential to ensure optimal and sustainable agroforestry management. This program is expected to be the first step towards improving the welfare of the Sungai Merah Village community in the future.
