Sukabumi, Jabar (B2B) - Di tengah derasnya arus informasi digital, kemampuan menyampaikan informasi pertanian secara tepat dan menarik menjadi kebutuhan penting kegiatan penyuluhan pertanian, mendukung terwujudnya swasembada pangan dan ketahanan pangan nasional.

Upaya tersebut sejalan arahan Menteri Pertanian RI (Mentan) Andi Amran Sulaiman bahwa penerapan digitalisasi dan modernisasi, menjadi faktor penting mendorong kemajuan sektor pertanian, memperkuat ketahanan pangan dan meningkatkan efisiensi usaha tani.
Selain itu pemanfaatan teknologi, seperti Internet of Things (IoT) dan Kecerdasan Buatan (Artificial Intelligence/AI), dinilai mampu menekan biaya produksi sekaligus meningkatkan produktivitas dan hasil panen secara optimal.
Sementara, Kepala Badan Penyuluhan dan Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia Pertanian Kementan (BPPSDMP) Idha Widi Arsanti menekankan pentingnya bagi penyuluh pertanian untuk mampu memanfaatkan serta menguasai teknologi informasi, edukasi, dan komunikasi berbasis digital.

"Di tengah pesatnya perkembangan media sosial dan kebutuhan akan informasi yang cepat, peran penyuluh sebagai jembatan informasi menjadi sangat krusial," katanya.
Sigit Sayogya menegaskan pentingnya memanfaatkan perpustakaan sebagai pusat penderasan informasi pertanian, maka pelatihan digelar untuk mendukung upaya regenerasi petani, salah satunya program Brigade Pangan.
"Teman-teman menunjukkan semangat yang luar biasa mengikuti kegiatan ini. Keberadaan perpustakaan yang sangat berguna bagi kita semua sebagai pusat penderasan informasi," katanya lagi.

Kepala Bidang Perpustakaan Daerah Kabupaten Sukabumi, Anzar Kusnandar menyambut baik dan antusias dengan pelaksanaan pelatihan ini. Pemkab Sukabumi berkomitmen penuh mendukung peningkatan kapasitas SDM di lingkungan pemerintah daerah melalui pemanfaatan fasilitas perpustakaan.
"Kegiatan yang dilakukan di perpustakaan akan kami akomodir, selama ruangan tidak digunakan, kami persilahkan. Kami sangat terbuka untuk berkolaborasi demi meningkatkan kualitas literasi masyarakat," katanya.

Kita tidak hanya menyampaikan informasi, ungkap Sostenes, juga harus memastikan pesan tersampaikan dengan cara yang inovatif.
Agen Perubahan
Penyuluh Kabupaten Korwil II, Sostenes dalam arahannya pada 30 penyuluh yang menjadi peserta pelatihan dari total 139 penyuluh di Kabupaten Sukabumi, diingatkan agar mampu menjadi agen perubahan (agent of change).
"Ilmu yang diperoleh tidak berhenti di ruangan pelatihan saja, melainkan segera ditularkan kepada rekan-rekan penyuluh lainnya yang belum berkesempatan hadir," katanya.
Sostenes mengharapkan, standar pelayanan informasi pertanian secara keseluruhan di Kabupaten Sukabumi dapat meningkat secara merata.
Pelatihan diharapkan menjadi katalisator bagi PPL untuk lebih kreatif dalam mengemas data teknis menjadi konten visual atau narasi yang menarik.
