The environment in which the place of cultivation determines the level of production and income of the farm, but how the behavior of farmers in the use of technology to achieve high levels of productivity and prices of cayenne pepper is something that still is not known. This study aims to find environmental adaptation technologies that can increase the production and price of cayenne pepper in a changing environmental situation. The study used exploratory methods in three villages of the chili production centers that have different altitudes. The unit of analysis in this study is the cayenne pepper crop that was planted in 2020/2021. As respondents, 45 farmers who grow cayenne pepper were randomly chosen. The highest productivity of cayenne was found in the lowlands at 11,133 kg/ha, in the midlands at 10,277 kg/ha, and the lowest in the highlands at 9,400 kg/ha. Cayenne pepper production risk is highest in the highlands at 0.46, in middle lands at 0.42, and lowest in the lowlands at 0.34. For it is part, the price risk is classified as high in the highlands at 0.62, the middle lands at 0.61, and the lowlands at 0.60. The behavior of farmers in coping with agricultural risks is considered a risk-taker. Cayenne pepper agricultural production still has an opportunity to increase by increasing the area of farmland, labor, urea or ZA fertilizers, SP36 fertilizers, and by increasing the ability of farmers to manage agricultural risks.

Empowerment of the poor, including coastal communities, is a national movement launched by the government through various empowerment programs. In order to accelerate development in coastal areas, it is necessary to have programs that can reduce poverty, reduce unemployment and increase economic growth. The purpose of the service activity is the impact of applying seaweed cultivation, analyzing production patterns, and analyzing income from seaweed cultivation. The method of service activities is carried out through an adult education approach. The adult education approach is carried out using the method of mentoring and training for coastal communities. Demonstrations were given to 15 people to cultivate seaweed and each was given 65 kg of seaweed seeds. The result of the service is that there is a positive impact from the application of the seaweed base peg method on the production of household income for coastal communities. The average yield of the first planting was 152.75 kg of wet seaweed for each person and 320 kg for the second planting. The income of coastal communities from seaweed cultivation is an average of IDR 1,280,000

The income of farm households that rely on the cultivation subsystem has so far been relatively low, so it is necessary to look for additional income such as processing agricultural products such as chilies and tomatoes which are easily damaged. Montong Are Village, Kediri District, has the potential to produce chilies and tomatoes, which when the main harvest prices fall, so it requires yield processing technology that can be obtained from training activities which are part of community service activities. The objectives of this activity are to: (1) increase the knowledge, skills and attitudes of women farming in agricultural product processing activities through training, (2) increase the quantity and quality of processed agricultural products, and (3) produce scientific publications. The target group is a member of a women's group of 30 people from 3 groups in Montong Are Village, Kediri District. The method used in community service activities is participatory based training where women farmers will be actively involved in every activity. Implementation of activities includes: outreach, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), training, and practice of processing agricultural products. The results of the training showed that there was an increase in knowledge for training with chili processing material by 50.45% and for training with tomato processing material there was an increase of 52.25%. In general, there was an increase in the volume of processed chili (sambal clove) and tomato sauce production, although it was not significant because at the time of activity, the production of chili and tomatoes was not much and the price was still high enough that it was not urgent to process them into processed chili/sambal and tomato sauce products. Later, if production is abundant and prices fall, processing of agricultural products, especially chilies and tomatoes, can be carried out.

Desa Tampak Siring Kecamatan Batukliang Kabupaten Lombok Tengah mempunyai potensi pertanian cukup besar, baik dalam bentuk tanaman maupun ternak. Aktifitas bertani di desa ini berdampak pada banyaknya limbah pertanian yang selama ini belum banyak dimanfaatkan seperti kotoran ternak, jerami, sisa-sisa makanan dan lain-lainnya.

Kesimpulan dari kegiatan ini adalah: (1) petani telah meningkat pengetahuan, ketrampilan dan sikapnya dalam mengelola usahataninya melalui pemanfaatan limbah pertanian, (2) petani mulai menerapkan teknologi pembuatan pupuk organik dan pakan, serta (3) petani dapat menghemat biaya usahatani sekaligus menjaga kelestarian lingkungan.

Sebagai salah satu negara importir bawang putih terbesar di dunia, dimana lebih dari 95 persen kebutuhan domestik saat ini dipenuhi dari impor, pemerintah Indonesia berupaya meningkatkan produksi bawang putih dalam negeri. Artikel ini membahas salah satu upaya peningkatan produksi bawang putih tersebut yaitu kebijakan wajib tanam bawang putih oleh importir yang bermitra  dengan petani. Hubungan kemitraan tersebut kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Model Principal Agent, dimana hubungan kerja masing-masing komponen pendukung kebijakan didiskusikans dan dievaluasi secara kritis. Hak dan kewajiban para pihak (principal dan agent) dianalisis dan dievaluasi implementasinya berdasarkan kontrak Perjanjian Kerja Sama (PKS) yang telah ditandatangani, serta peran dan fungsi koordinasi pemerintah melalui dinas terkait dievaluasi berdasarkan petunjuk teknis pelaksanaan kebijakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan wajib tanam oleh importir yang bermitra dengan petani bawang putih telah sesuai dengan PKS dan menguntungkan para pihak tanpa adanya moral hazard. Namun demikian peran koordinatif pemerintah sangat minimal terutama pada tahap monitoring dan pelaporan hasil.
