The farmers who are members of the Tani Kencana Windu group fostered by the Indonesian Farmers' School are in Wanasuka Village focusing on coffee and holticulture plants. A total of approximately 1000 coffee trees are planted on 2 hectares of land.

The Coffee Plant Replanting Program runs with the concept of collaboration and sustainability. Where this coffee planting is carried out with an organic system for conservation and land conservation. This program is in the form of providing quality coffee seeds and good cultivation assistance to be able to produce quality and higher economic value coffee.

"This program is the empowerment of the Kencana Windu farmer group and the community in an effort to increase agricultural and economic products in Wanasuka village," said Director of Finance and Risk Management, Rosmanidar Zulkifli.

This replanting of coffee plants answers the problems faced by farmer groups in increasing agricultural products and empowering the people of Wanasuka villagers.

Rosmanidar explained that the Corporate Social Responsibility Program (TJSL) of PT Surveyor Indonesia is very much supported by local communities in realizing sustainable TJSL programs.

"Several programs have been carried out with positive support and contribution from the local community involved, one of which is the Kencana Windu Farmers Group," he said.

By involving the Indonesian Farmers School, the Kencana Windu farmer group and the Wanasuka village community in the process of developing the TJSL program, PT Surveyor Indonesia can produce more diverse, relevant, and sustainable solutions. The involvement of the Wanasuka village community in the program planning and implementation process, increasing sustainability, innovative ideas from the community and helping to create programs that are more durable and have a long-term impact.

In addition, involving the Indonesian Farmers School in partnership with local business actors can create job opportunities and support local economic growth. This program can stimulate economic initiatives that support sustainability and increase people's income.

One of them is absorption of business results interacting directly with consumers so that partner farmers get a higher price than having to sell their crops to the tengkulak and implement the direct pay weight system. The development of social business models involving Indonesian Farmer Schools can also provide social benefits to create economic opportunities.
