Best Practices of Agricultural Information System in the Context of Knowledge and Innovation

Abstract

Agriculture plays a very important role in the welfare of the Indonesian people, amounting to more than 260 million people, with the majority of professions as farmers (40 million people). Agriculture is also very strategic for national development because it absorbs 32 % of the labor market, the largest compared to the trade sector which is only 23 %, services as much as 16%, industry by 13% and construction around 5%. However, agriculture cannot be perceived as a sufficient livelihood for some farmers, which is indicated by a decline in the number of farmers by 1.1 % per year. Knowledge and information will be one of the important solution to the problem if it can be collected, accessed and implemented by farmers, so they can increase productivity, and sell high-value commodities. Agricultural Knowledge and Information System is a necessary instrument for that purpose because it is an efficient model of managing resources which will drive low cost model of operation and can be accessed anytime and anywhere. This study proposes an agricultural knowledge and innovation system model by conducting a literature review and questionnaire distribution to collected data, then followed by conducting system analysis and design with Object Oriented Analysis & Design (OOAD) method. Furthermore, the study using use case diagram and class diagram in Unified Modeling Language (UML) notations. The results of this research are the comprehensive and robust system model to collect, manage, and disseminate agricultural knowledge and information in the context of best practices in the field.
