PERTANIAN TERPADU : BUDIDAYA MAGGOT, IKAN LELE, AZOLLA, PERTANIAN HORTIKULTURA (SAYUR DAN BUAH)

Summary

The video showcases an integrated farming project in collaboration with Yayasan Kawitan Nur and Silva Farm, aimed at achieving self-sufficiency for a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in Kalisapu, Slawi, Tegal. The project includes maggot farming, horticulture, organic waste processing, and catfish farming using sustainable methods. Highlights include utilizing waste for maggot feed, producing organic fertilizers, and recycling water from fish ponds for crop irrigation. The project demonstrates how waste materials are repurposed efficiently, creating a closed-loop system to benefit both farming and livestock production.

Takeaways

• 🌱 The video showcases integrated farming systems at an Islamic boarding school in Desa Kalisapu, Tegal.
• 🐛 The farming system includes maggot cultivation as one of its key components.
• 🚮 Organic waste is processed in an organic waste house, which includes leftover materials like milk cartons.
• 🌿 The system also includes horticulture, with crops like cauliflower and chili grown using water from fish ponds.
• 🐟 The farm features fish ponds where catfish are raised, and they are fed with alternative feed made from maggots.
• ♻️ Wastewater from the fish ponds is reused for Azolla farming, which is harvested daily.
• 🍉 Melons, including the golden variety, are being cultivated and are set for harvest within a week.
• 🥒 Cucumber cultivation is also part of the system, aiming to produce up to 5 tons during the first harvest.
• 🔄 The system is designed to be circular, where nothing goes to waste, and all byproducts are reused, such as organic waste becoming maggot feed.
• 🌾 The integration of Silva Farm and Yayasan Kawitan Nur helps to foster self-sufficiency at the boarding school.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the integrated farming project presented in the video?

The integrated farming project aims to promote self-sufficiency for the Kawitan Nur Islamic boarding school by combining various agricultural activities, such as maggot cultivation, organic waste management, fish farming, and horticulture.

Who are the key collaborators in this integrated farming project?

The key collaborators are the Yayasan Kawitan Nur and Silva Farm, who are working together to create a sustainable agricultural system.

What activities are involved in the integrated farming system?

The activities involved include maggot cultivation, organic waste processing, horticulture (growing vegetables like cauliflower and melons), fish farming (especially catfish), and the use of recycled water and organic fertilizers for crop irrigation.

How is maggot cultivation being utilized in the farm?

Maggot cultivation is a key component of the farm, where black soldier fly (BSF) larvae are bred. The maggots are used as alternative feed for catfish and other purposes like composting and producing organic fertilizer.

What is the role of organic waste in the farming process?

Organic waste, such as plant residues and expired food packaging, is processed and used in maggot cultivation, providing a sustainable source of feed for the maggots, which in turn are used as fish feed or organic fertilizer.

What type of fish is being farmed and how is the feeding process managed?

The farm mainly raises catfish, and they are fed with alternative feed options like fresh maggots, dried maggots, and pellets made from maggots. The feeding process is planned over a three-month cycle from stocking to harvest.

How is the farm utilizing water waste from the fish ponds?

Water waste from the fish ponds is collected and reused to irrigate crops, such as vegetables and horticultural plants like cauliflower and melons. This water contains nutrients that help in plant growth.

What other crops are grown on the farm and how are they sustained?

The farm grows crops such as cauliflower, melons, and cucumbers. These crops are irrigated with recycled water from the fish ponds and fertilized using organic materials like kasgot (maggot castings).

How does the farm ensure sustainability in its operations?

The farm operates on a closed-loop system, where waste from one activity is repurposed for another. For example, organic waste is used for maggot cultivation, maggots are used for fish feed, and water waste from fish ponds is used for irrigation. This ensures minimal waste and sustainable resource use.

What are the future plans for the fish farming aspect of the project?

The farm plans to expand its catfish farming operations by increasing the number of ponds to accommodate more fish. The goal is to harvest around 1.5 to 2 tons of catfish monthly by introducing 20,000 fish seedlings every month.
