“Bisa dikatakan, hampir 95 persen masyarakat Gunung Meriah adalah petani atau buruh tanam. Sebagian besar masyarakat kita ini menggantungkan hidup dari pertanian. Jadi, petani perlu tahu buat pupuk sendiri yang diolah dari bahan-bahan yang mudah didapatkan di sekitar kita,” ujar Sembiring.
Tidak hanya berbiaya murah, pupuk organik juga dapat diandalkan jika terjadi kelangkaan pupuk dipasaran.
“Jangan sampai saat pupuk sulit didapat, tanaman tidak di pupuk. Karena itu, petani di masa sekarang harus cerdas mencari solusi, salah satunya dengan membuat pupuk organik secara mandiri,” tambah Sembiring.
Sembiring juga mengatakan, petani adalah garda terdepan dalam menjaga ketahanan pangan nasional. Dengan demikian, para petani dituntut cerdas menyiasati berbagai persoalan, baik membuat pupuk pengganti, antisipasi hama, maupun pemanfaatan lahan sempit untuk mendapatkan hasil maksimal.
“Pelatihan ini juga untuk membekali para petani, terkait dengan ketahanan pangan nasional. Petani ini sebenarnya menjadi ujung tombak ketahanan pangan,” sebut Sembiring.

Kegiatan pelatihan bertajuk “Pembekalan Masyarakat Dalam Meningkatkan Ketahanan Pangan Desa Tahun 2024” ini berlangsung selama 3 hari sejak 5 sampai 7 Juni 2024, yang diikuti 36 perwakilan petani dari 12 desa di Kecamatan Gunung Meriah, Deli Serdang.
Dalam kesempatan itu, pemateri Hafiz Fadillah membekali para peserta tahapan-tahapan membuat pupuk organik padat dan cair, dengan memanfaatkan bahan-bahan yang ada dilingkungan sekitar.
“Selama ini, tidak sedikit masyarakat petani yang enggan memanfaatkan beberapa bahan dasar pupuk organik. Setelah dapat pembekalan, kita berharap, peserta dapat mengolah kompos sendiri. Biayanya murah dan manfaatnya luar biasa untuk kesuburan tanaman,” sebut Hafiz.
Praktisi pupuk organikk ini juga menyebutkan, kelangkaan pupuk bersubsidi tidak lagi menjadi kendala serius bagi masyarakat petani di masa mendatang.
“Selain itu, pupuk organik jauh lebih sehat, karena diolah dari bahan alami dan tidak berdampak bagi kesehatan,” ucap Hafiz. ***

Effective Organic Fertilizer is a Solution Amid the Scarcity of Manufactured Fertilizer | OBROLANBISNIS.com — Dozens of farmers in Gunung Meriah District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, received provision and training in making organic fertilizer. The activity took place at the Pancur Gading Hotel & Resort Ballroom, Pancurbatu, Wednesday, June 6 2024.
On that occasion, the Head of Gunung Meriah Subdistrict, Budiman Sembiring, said that farmers need to have expertise in making organic fertilizer, as a solution amidst the scarcity of fertilizer.
“It could be said that almost 95 percent of the people of Gunung Meriah are farmers or planting workers. Most of our people depend on agriculture for their living. So, farmers need to know how to make their own fertilizer which is made from ingredients that are easily available around us,” said Sembiring .
Not only is it cheap, organic fertilizer can also be relied on if there is a shortage of fertilizer on the market.
“Don’t let it happen that when fertilizer is hard to get, the plants are not fertilized. “Because of that, farmers nowadays have to be smart in finding solutions, one of which is by making organic fertilizer independently,” added Sembiring.
Sembiring also said that farmers are the front guard in maintaining national food security. Thus, farmers are required to be smart in dealing with various problems, whether making substitute fertilizers, anticipating pests, or using small areas of land to get maximum results.
“This training is also to equip farmers regarding national food security. “These farmers are actually the spearhead of food security,” said Sembiring.
The training activity entitled “Community Provision in Improving Village Food Security in 2024” took place for 3 days from 5 to 7 June 2024, which was attended by 36 farmer representatives from 12 villages in Gunung Meriah District, Deli Serdang.
On that occasion, speaker Hafiz Fadillah provided the participants with the stages of making solid and liquid organic fertilizer, using materials found in the surrounding environment.
“So far, quite a few farming communities are reluctant to use some of the basic ingredients for organic fertilizer. After receiving the training, we hope that participants will be able to process their own compost. “The cost is cheap and the benefits are extraordinary for plant fertility,” said Hafiz.
This organic fertilizer practitioner also said that the scarcity of subsidized fertilizer will no longer be a serious obstacle for farming communities in the future.
“Apart from that, organic fertilizer is much healthier, because it is processed from natural ingredients and has no impact on health,” said Hafiz. ***
