Integration of Sorghum, Porang and Cow Livestock as an Effort to Increase Farmers' Income and Soil Quality in Dry Land

Suhartini Suhartini, Suparlan Suparlan, Suwardji Suwardji

Abstract

The dry land farming system is an agricultural cultivation practice dependent on climatic factors, so it is easily degraded if managed inappropriately. Degradation will cause a decrease in soil quality, which has an impact on decreasing land productivity and farmers' income. One of the efforts that can be made to overcome these problems is the application of an integrated farming system (Integrated Farming System) for crops and livestock, namely the integration of sorghum, porang, and cattle. The main goal is to reduce the risk of crop failure because dependence on a commodity can be avoided and can save production costs.
