Saharjo EduFarm: Farming Through All Ages

Tarumanagara University, Jakarta

Project idea

In fact, in the Saharjo area, there is no agricultural centre that can support the local community, so there is very little agricultural activity and understanding about agriculture. The main objective of this project is to invite and provide knowledge to the community about farming.

At the same time, the project has the intention to change the mindset of the local community towards gardening in the middle of the city. Gardening can be a fun activity and can even support community food security in the future. Even though it's in the middle of the city, what if people can feel as if they are gardening in the middle of a rice field? At this point, this project consists of not only experience and knowledge about modern farming but also traditional farming by creating an atmosphere for visitors as if they were farming in the middle of a rice field.
