Hello #SobatMEP!🤗
On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, Master of Agricultural Economics (MEP) lecturers attended a collaboration with Kana Cooperative organized by the Agam Regency Government related to counseling for sugarcane farmers in Kanagarian Lawang and Kebagarian Tigo Balai, Matur District, Agam, West Sumatra. The event introduced the method of planting sugarcane using the ringpit technique. This method involves creating a ring pit around the sugarcane plant to increase the efficiency of water and nutrient absorption.💦🎋

Prof. Dr. Ir. Irham, M.Sc. as the head of the extension team from the Faculty of Agriculture UGM explained the academic point of view that the ringpit system has long-term benefits for soil sustainability and increased sugarcane productivity.

The counseling and training provided was well received by the Kana Cooperative as a gathering of sugarcane farmers in Agam. This extension is part of a long-term effort to build food security and the welfare of farming communities.✨🌏

Hello MEP friends!👋 This time, we’re bringing you a recap of the visit conducted by MEP UGM students to various institutions in Malaysia from August 12-15, 2024. The visited institutions included the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), Beryl’s, and the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI). This visit was part of one of the mandatory courses, namely Widyakarya!🧐

Over the four days, students not only visited formal institutions but also explored other places such as Central Market, Batu Caves, Petronas Towers, and Genting Highlands. This Widyakarya activity is expected to inspire MEP students to further develop their knowledge and broaden their horizons. This experience has been a valuable moment that will always be remembered.

Anyway, see you on the next trip!!!🤗
