Advances in Engineering Research, 2020

In Indonesia, Ngadas Village is one of the Agricultural Villages. Ngadas people do more activities in the fields than in their homes or dwellings. So, research about local wisdom of the Ngadas community in managing an agricultural landscape was fascinating. This research aimed to provide an overview of the initiative, creativity, work of the Ngadas community through artifacts in the agricultural landscape in Ngadas Village. The research was conducted through a qualitative approach. As a result, Tenggerese people have their way of survival. They are processing their crops by planting cover crops that function for animal feed. Nevertheless, ecologically, it has a significant impact on reducing erosion and eroding nutrients. Also, cover crops such as rumput gajah function as physical boundaries and form their field territory. Farmers in Ngadas also build farmhouses as a form of sustainable agriculture by making potato seeds from the harvest. Aside from being a potato seed storage, farmhouses are also a place to rest without leaving their cultural aspects, namely gegenen. Gegenen is an activity to make a body warms itself by burning charcoal when the weather is very cold. So it can be concluded that the local wisdom of the Ngadas community in managing their agricultural landscape is a form of adaptation from their environment.

An Interpretive Framework for Assessing and Monitoring the Sustainability of School Gardens

Sustainability, 2016

School gardens are, increasingly, an integral part of projects aiming to promote nutritional education and environmental sustainability in many countries throughout the world. In the late 1950s, FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) and UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) had already developed projects to improve the dietary intake and behavior through school and community gardens. However, notwithstanding decades of experience, real proof of how these programs contribute to improving sustainability has not been well-documented, and reported findings have mostly been anecdotal. Therefore, it is important to begin a process of collecting and monitoring data to quantify the results and possibly improve their efficiency. This study's primary goal is to propose an interpretive structure-the "Sustainable Agri-Food Evaluation Methodology-Garden" (SAEMETH-G), that is able to quantifiably guide the sustainability evaluation of various school garden organizational forms. As a case study, the methodology was applied to 15 school gardens located in three regions of Kenya, Africa. This application of SAEMETH-G as an assessment tool based on user-friendly indicators demonstrates that it is possible to carry out sustainability evaluations of school gardens through a participatory and interdisciplinary approach. Thus, the hypothesis that the original SAEMETH operative framework could be tested in gardens has also been confirmed. SAEMETH-G is a promising tool that has the potential to help us understand school gardens' sustainability better and to use that knowledge in their further development all over the world.
