Are you a farmer, researcher, policymaker, or someone interested in the future of sustainable agriculture? Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from practitioners and experts who are creating real change in the field.

\
Amid the growing crisis of declining soil fertility, regenerative agriculture emerges as a long-term approach to restoring the ecological functions of land—bringing back soil health as the foundation for food security and sustainable production. In Seruyan District, Central Kalimantan, this approach is beginning to show tangible results. After one year of implementation, Kaleka, through the Gawi Bapakat initiative, has supported farmers in four villages—Sulung, Bangkal, Bahaur, and Selunuk—to apply regenerative practices on existing oil palm plantations. These practices include producing and using organic compost, planting cover crops, and reducing chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The results are evident not only in improved soil pH but also in a 26.7% increase in farmers’ incomes.

\
The transition to regenerative agricultural practices has been further strengthened by support from the local government. In December 2024, the Seruyan District Government issued a Circular Letter officially recognizing regenerative agriculture as a standard practice. This regulation includes support for building organic fertilizer production facilities at the village level, engaging palm oil companies in supplying compost materials, and providing regular training for agricultural extension workers and farmers through the Farmer Field School program. Today, compost centers in Sandul and Bangkal Villages serve not only as production sites but also as collective learning spaces for farmers.

\
This breakthrough marks the first time in Indonesia that regenerative agriculture has been systematically implemented and documented with data. It is more than just a pilot program—it serves as an early foundation for nationwide learning across regions and commodities. Land regeneration is no longer an abstract concept, but a real and replicable practice. One inspiring example comes from Majianto, a young farmer from Bangkal Village, who applied this approach on his two-hectare farm. Not only did he succeed in reducing production costs and restoring soil fertility, but he also became a catalyst for collective change within his community. \n  \n Kaleka is organizing a public seminar (online and in-person) to highlight key lessons and field experiences from the regenerative agriculture program in oil palm plantations from Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. This event will bring together insights from farmer facilitators, program implementers, and technical experts—offering a closer look at how regenerative approaches are being applied across landscapes and communities in Indonesia.

Apakah Anda seorang petani, peneliti, pembuat kebijakan, atau individu yang tertarik pada masa depan pertanian berkelanjutan? Jangan lewatkan kesempatan ini untuk belajar langsung dari para praktisi dan ahli yang sedang menciptakan perubahan nyata di lapangan.

\
Di tengah krisis kesuburan tanah yang kian meluas, pertanian regeneratif hadir sebagai pendekatan jangka panjang untuk memulihkan fungsi ekologis lahan—mengembalikan kesuburan tanah sebagai fondasi ketahanan pangan dan keberlanjutan produksi. Di Kabupaten Seruyan, Kalimantan Tengah, pendekatan ini mulai menunjukkan hasil nyata. Setelah satu tahun implementasi, Kaleka melalui inisiatif Gawi Bapakat mendampingi petani di empat desa—Sulung, Bangkal, Bahaur, dan Selunuk—untuk menerapkan pertanian regeneratif di kebun kelapa sawit yang sudah ada. Praktiknya mencakup pembuatan dan penggunaan pupuk organik, penanaman tanaman penutup tanah, serta pengurangan pupuk dan pestisida kimia. Hasilnya tidak hanya terlihat dari peningkatan pH tanah, tapi juga kenaikan pendapatan petani hingga 26,7%.

\
Transformasi ini semakin kuat dengan hadirnya dukungan dari pemerintah daerah. Pada Desember 2024, Pemerintah Kabupaten Seruyan menerbitkan Surat Edaran yang secara resmi mengakui pertanian regeneratif sebagai praktik standar. Regulasi ini mencakup dukungan terhadap pembangunan fasilitas produksi pupuk organik di tingkat desa, keterlibatan perusahaan sawit dalam penyediaan bahan baku kompos, serta pelatihan rutin bagi penyuluh dan petani melalui program Sekolah Lapang Petani. Saat ini, sentra pupuk di Desa Sandul dan Bangkal tidak hanya menjadi pusat produksi, tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai ruang pembelajaran kolektif bagi petani.

\
Terobosan ini merupakan yang pertama kalinya ada di Indonesia, hasil penerapan pertanian regeneratif didokumentasikan secara sistematis dan berbasis data. Bukan hanya program percontohan, tapi juga pijakan awal bagi pembelajaran skala nasional lintas wilayah dan lintas komoditas. Regenerasi lahan bukan lagi konsep abstrak, tapi sudah menjadi praktik nyata yang bisa direplikasi dan ditingkatkan. Salah satu contoh inspiratif datang dari Majianto, petani muda dari Desa Bangkal, yang menerapkan pendekatan ini di dua hektar kebunnya. Tidak hanya berhasil menurunkan biaya produksi dan memperbaiki kesuburan lahan, ia juga menjadi penggerak perubahan kolektif di komunitasnya. \n 

Kaleka mengadakan acara seminar diskusi publik secara  hybrid untuk menyoroti pelajaran penting dan pengalaman lapangan dari program pertanian regeneratif. Acara ini akan mempertemukan wawasan dari fasilitator petani, pelaksana program, serta pakar teknis—memberikan gambaran lebih dekat tentang bagaimana pendekatan regeneratif diterapkan di berbagai lanskap dan komunitas di Indonesia.
