Abstract

Food sovereignty and security are targets of the Government of Indonesia as outlined in the second point of the Asta Cita Vision, which is also relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially zero hunger. This vision must be supported by good management of agricultural resources and based on the community^s ability and knowledge. As a follow-up, Smart Agriculture Village is one of the potential programs to be initiated through increasing the knowledge of independent agricultural management at the village level. The support of spatial database of agricultural resources is important for that program.
This study discusses the development of spatial databases through collaboration between educational institutions and communities through Voluntary Geographic Activity (VGA) as a first step in the initiation of Smart Agriculture Village.
This program focused on Air Manggis Selatan Village, Lubuk Sikaping Sub-district, Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra Province. PlanetScope imagery was used as the main data that was interpreted in a participatory manner by members of the Guguak Farmers Group accompanied by experts from academia. The farmer group was involved in validating the interpreted data and maps through surveys using geotagged forms on mobile devices. The result of this work was a spatial database of food agricultural resources covering 25.86 ha managed by 62 farmers. In addition, information on varieties, productivity, and land ownership was also obtained, which is then presented spatially in an interactive WebMap.
This study became the first step in the development of spatial database and information related to the condition of food agriculture in the study area. The presentation of the database in WebMap is useful as a publication medium and a tool for monitoring agricultural advancement that is sourced from actual local knowledge. In addition, this study helped to increase community knowledge in utilizing spatial information technology that supports agricultural data management.
