Abstract

The Simantri activity approach is a farming system with a zero waste system, with the hope of optimizing the use of local resources optimally and reducing dependence on external inputs. This study aims to analyze the feasibility of composting and livestock farming businesses and their contribution to income in an integrated pen system in the Manik Amerta Farmer Group, Tiying Gading Village, West Selemadeg District. The research method uses business feasibility analysis and descriptive methods. The research period starts from October 24 - December 30, 2021. The results of the study showed that the group's income in the cattle breeding business was IDR 2,297,501 per month and the organic fertilizer business was IDR 2,301,800 per month with a business feasibility analysis reaching (R / C) = 5.42 (very feasible). The contribution of composting efforts to the income of members and groups reached 50.05%. Optimal management of cattle waste is one of the innovations implemented in the Manik Amerta Farmer Group through the Low external input sustainable agriculture (LEISA) concept, where the output of a cattle farming activity is input for compost processing activities.
