Hasanuddin University is committed to promoting the sustainable management of agricultural land through various educational and community service programs. This initiative aims to enhance the capacity of local and national communities in implementing sustainable management of agricultural land.

Key activities include: the introduction of floating rice as an innovation to address flooded paddy fields; the development of early-maturing rice varieties suitable for all seasons through community service programs aimed at accelerating harvest time and improving farmer productivity; and education on the use of organic and plant-based pesticides, including training on making pesticides from maja fruit, to reduce negative impacts on ecosystems and public health. In addition, Unhas students and lecturers introduce appropriate agricultural technology to communities to support the sustainable management of agricultural land, and utilize wild plants as alternative food sources.

Sustainability efforts are also carried out through the management of agricultural and livestock waste into compost fertilizer, as part of circular farming practices that maintain soil and environmental quality. These programs are implemented in various regions, including Gowa, Takalar, and Bantaeng Regencies, through hands-on training and farmer group mentoring conducted by Unhas students and lecturers.

Through this series of educational and community service programs, Hasanuddin University not only strengthens the agricultural capacity of local communities but also promotes the sustainable management of agricultural land and the preservation of agricultural ecosystem sustainability.
