Abstract

Dry land is one of the conditions found in Indonesia. At least this potential is estimated at 76 million hectares to become productive land. This study aims to formulate a strategy to increase the productivity of dry land in Indonesia. The data sources of this study used primary data: observations, questionnaires and expert discussions, as well as secondary data: data processing, library studies and government data. The results showed that 10 strategies were formed consisting of strategies for strengthening farmer institutions, integrated training strategy on a regular basis for dry land farmers, design and manufacture of irrigation systems, strategy for the formation of integrated information design, motivational strategy through the pilot of successful farmers in dry land management, strategy for improving the technology transfer approach through agricultural extension workers, strategy of mentoring program for the application of new technology for farmer groups, pilot land strategy using suitable planting methods and varieties on dry land., strategy for cooperation with universities in the Independent Campus Learning Program (MBKM), strategies to build a literacy culture. The results of this study can be concluded that there are factors that need to be improved in increasing the productivity of dry land in Indonesia, which consists of the active role of farmers, community leaders, government policies and regulations, and collaboration with universities.
