The problem of partners is that there are many members of the Lestari farmer
group who do not understand the cultivation of agriculture/plantations, and most
members of the Lestari farmer group do not have a nursery land that can be used as a
village nursery land (KBD). The only group leader who has owned a nursery land that
has been functioned together by members. The lack of land is mainly due to the inability
of group members to choose the right location by the land designation. Based on the
partner's problem, the aim of community service activities is to carry out a community
empowerment process through self-help mapping so that the Lestari farmer women's
group has the right location for the KBD through the PRA method, primarily the
transect assessment tool and the matrix assessment tool for agricultural/plantation
problems. Independently through the mentoring process. Through this mentoring
process, all group members can carry out the PRA method, primarily the transect
assessment tool and the matrix/agricultural cultivation problem assessment tool. With
this method of assistance, a group of Lestari farmer women have a new nursery land
and use the KBD to increase the economic income of their group members.
