PREPARE FOR MIDTEST - INTEGRATED FARMING

CONCEPT OF INTEGRATED FARMING (I heard from my lecture while in class)

• all the components going well without outside help
• all the needs are fulfilled
• farming system was optimal

DEFINITION OF INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEM

an agricultural system that integrates all agricultural activities in order to increase efficiency and productivity, independence, prosperity sustainable farmers

efficiency need mechanization

farming background in Indonesia still hard to implement integrated farming because: in farming practical is still not friendly environment, quantity farmers is so high but agricultural land holdings still average small. 

PRINCIPE OF INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEM
Maximize the input-output linkages between production systems flow

Z = (P + i + L)/(w+c)

Increase Product, Income,

Decrease  Waste and Cost.

INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEM MODEL

Idea in horizontal

• to implementation integrated farming system, farmer must have agriculture land holdings atleast 1000 m2 with investation atleast Rp 15-20 million then farmers could have: 100 ducks, 5 sheeps, fish and agriculture. (Suprapto 2004 in Module Integrated Farming Course)
• Space Concept: 10% for ...., 20% for vegetables, 10% for fish, 60% for agriculture.
• farmers get honors atleast Rp 820.000 per month
• Harvest could reach 11.2 ton/ ha
• with PADI SRI, Organic, and no Chemistry.

Idea in vertical

• Agrotecnopark - area for scientist and being a standart area for Integrated framing system
• Agropolitan - for developing rural landscape with optimalize farming system
• KEP - Estat Agriculture Community
