Abstract

This article seeks to explore the empowerment of farmers in Mijen Kota Semarang with organic fertilizers production technology. The high cost of chemical fertilizers and their negative impact on lands have inspired group of farmers in Mijen to independently produce their own fertilizers. They are inspired with many knowldege distributed through webs and youtubes from conventional methods such as kompos production and kohe (kotoran hewan), fertilizers from the house waste, they are also inspired by the Korean technology of Jadam Microbiological Solutions, and indegenous microbacterial organism (IMO). The research found that JMS method attracts the attention of the youth to farming because it involves activities-like research in laboratory. The introduction of indigenous microbial organism can revive young people interest to farming.
