Depok, Jabar (B2B) - Badan Penyuluhan dan Pengembangan SDM Pertanian (BPPSDMP) mendorong pengembangan pusat pelatihan pertanian dan perdesaan swadaya nasional (P4S) dan pelatihan tematik dengan pendekatan on job training di sentra produksi pangan.
Kepala BPPSDMP Kementan, Momon Rusmono mengatakan pelatihan P4S dan Diklat Tematik melakukan pendekatan pada kondisi lapangan yang dihadapi petani, sebagai solusi untuk mengatasi masalah serius dalam pembangunan pertanian, lantaran menurunnya minat generasi muda untuk mengelola lahan pertanian sehingga P4S dan Diklat Tematim ke depan akan dikembangkan menjadi sentra pelatihan pertanian terpadu.
"Idealnya, lokasi pelatihan P4S dan Diklat Tematik terintegrasi dengan lahan untuk kedelai. Hortikultura terkait komoditas bawang putih, peternakan sapi dan rumah kompos untuk peternakan, dan produksi rempah-rempah sesuai program strategis kementerian untuk 2018," kata Momon Rusmono kepada pers usai membuka ´rapat teknis pemantapan sistem pelatihan pertanian 2018´ di Santika Hotel - Depok, Rabu (17/1).
Kementan sampai saat ini, menurut Momon, telah mengembangkan P4S sebagai tempat pelatihan dan pemagangan dari petani untuk petani, sehingga dapat mendorong petani menanam komoditas pangan bukan sekadar dikonsumsi namun membuka wawasan mereka tentang perdagangan produk agribisnis, dan hingga saat ini telah berdiri lebih 1.000 P4S di seluruh Indonesia.
Tampak hadir para kepala unit pelaksana teknis (UPT) bidang pelatihan dari seluruh Indonesia di antaranya Kepala Balai Pelatihan Peternakan - BBPP Kupang, Adang Warya; Kepala BBPP Malang, Apri Handono; Kepala Balai Besar Pelatihan Pertanian - BBPP Ketindan, Kresno Suharto; Kepala BBPP Batang Kalukku, Kemal Mahfud; Kepala BBPP Lembang, Bandel Hartopo; Kepala BBPP Binuang, Anwar Syarief; Kepala Balai Pelatihan Pertanian - BPP Lampung, Bhakti Poerwadikarta; Kepala BPP Jambi, Muhammad Sjarif; Kepala Pusat Pelatihan Manajemen Kepemimpinan Pertanian (PPMKP) Heri Suliyanto.
Dia mengatakan BPPSDMP Kementan berkomitmen melakukan revolusi mental terhadap penyuluh pertanian dan SDM pertanian, maka P4S selayaknya mengembangkan berbagai materi pelatihan antara lain teknik pengolahan lahan, ekologi tanah, pembenihan padi-kedelai, pengendalian hama terpadu, penanganan pasca panen dan teknologi penyimpanan padi-kedelai.
"BPPSDMP Kementan juga akan mengembangkan secara reguler kepada P4S untuk memberikan pembekalan untuk siswa sekolah menengah dan para pemuda tani agar mengerti dan menghayati bagaimana menjadi seorang petani modern. Metodenya sesuai degan jiwa muda mereka dalam bentuk outbound atau kemah tani," kata Momon Rusmono.
Diklat Tematik
Diklat Tematik merupakan pola pelatihan baru yang diterapkan oleh Kementan sejak 2016 yang dilakukan di lokasi target pelatihan, hal ini berbeda dengan pelatihan reguler yang dilaksanakan di balai pelatihan, dengan materi dan kurikulum yang telah ditetapkan oleh balai pelatihan, kata Momon Rusmono.
Sementara tema, materi, dan kurikulum pelatihan tematik disusun berdasarkan potensi pertanian di wilayah target pelatihan yang dilaksanakan di tingkat balai penyuluhan pertanian (BPP) tingkat kecamatan di masing-masing kabupaten/kota.
"BPP di tingkat kecamatan menjadi tempat kegiatan pelatihan tematik, karena BPP kecamatan merupakan kelembagaan penyuluhan pertanian yang langsung bersentuhan dengan masyarakat tani, sehingga dampak dari pelatihan dapat langsung diketahui oleh petani dan peternak," kata Momon Rusmono.
Dia menambahkan model pelatihan menerapkan pembelajaran yang berorientasi pada pemecahan masalah dan pengambilan keputusan berdasarkan kesesuaian materi yang dibutuhkan peserta pelatihan.
