Analisis Dampak Penerapan Program Regenerative Agriculture terhadap Perilaku Penggunaan Pupuk dan Pestisida (Studi Kasus: Program CSR PT Tirta Investama – Pabrik Klaten, di Wilayah Tengah Sub DAS Pusur, Kabupaten Klaten, Jawa Tengah)

Abstract

Padi merupakan komoditas tanaman pangan yang paling banyak diusahakan di Indonesia. Namun, petani masih menghadapi permasalahan seperti terbatasnya ketersediaan pupuk subsidi dan banyaknya persyaratan untuk memperoleh pupuk subsidi. Sebagai solusi, PT Tirta Investama – Pabrik Klaten melalui program CSR Regenerative Agriculture mengembangkan usahatani padi sehat di wilayah tengah Sub DAS Pusur. Program ini mendorong perubahan perilaku petani dalam penggunaan input pertanian, dari yang sebelumnya bergantung pada pupuk dan pestisida kimia menuju adopsi input organik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dampak penerapan program Regenerative Agriculture terhadap perilaku penggunaan pupuk dan pestisida, menganalisis struktur biaya dan pendapatan usahatani padi sehat, serta kontribusinya terhadap pendapatan total rumah tangga petani penerima manfaat. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis deskriptif komparatif, analisis pendapatan, R/C ratio, dan analisis kontribusi pendapatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan program Regenerative Agriculture berdampak positif terhadap perubahan perilaku petani penerima manfaat dalam penggunaan pupuk dan pestisida. Usahatani padi sehat terbukti efisien dan menguntungkan dengan nilai R/C ratio atas biaya total tertinggi pada kelompok lahan sewa (2,75), diikuti oleh lahan milik (2,67), dan lahan bagi hasil (2,14). Kontribusi program Regenerative Agriculture terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga petani tertinggi yaitu pada kelompok lahan bagi hasil (63,57%), diikuti lahan sewa (63,35%), dan lahan milik (53,01%) dikategorikan sedang.

Rice is the most widely cultivated food crop commodity in Indonesia. However, farmers still face problems such as limited availability of subsidized fertilizers and many requirements to obtain subsidized fertilizers. As a solution, PT Tirta Investama - Klaten Plant through the Regenerative Agriculture CSR program developed healthy rice farming in the central region of the Pusur Sub-watershed. This program encourages changes in farmer behavior in the use of agricultural inputs, from previously relying on chemical fertilizers and pesticides to adopting organic inputs. The objectives of this study were to analyze the impact of the implementation of the Regenerative Agriculture program on fertilizer and pesticide use behavior, analyze the cost and income structure of healthy rice farming, and its contribution to the total income of beneficiary farmer households. This study used comparative descriptive analysis, income analysis, R/C ratio, and income contribution analysis. The results showed that the implementation of the Regenerative Agriculture program had a positive impact on changes in the behavior of beneficiary farmers in the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Healthy rice farming proved efficient and profitable with the highest R/C ratio value to total costs in the cash tenant group (2,75), followed by land owner group (2,67), and share tenant group (2,14). The contribution of the Regenerative Agriculture program to farmers' household income was highest in the share tenant group (63,57%), followed cash tenant group (63,35%), and land owner group (53,01%) categorized as moderate.
