Hasanuddin University (Unhas) actively collaborates with local communities in maintaining and restoring shared land ecosystems, generating positive impacts on both the environment and community well-being. Through various cross-faculty programs and partnerships, Unhas plays an active role in sustaining agricultural lands, conservation areas, and watershed ecosystems (DAS) in South Sulawesi.

One example is the collaboration with Eratani in developing sustainable agriculture in South Sulawesi, which strengthens environmentally friendly and participatory food production models based on local farming communities. The partnership between the Kerabat Women Farmers Group (KWT) and the Mahatani Student Organization Program (PPK Ormawa) of Unhas reflects the synergy between the academic community and residents in managing sustainable agricultural land.

The Agribusiness Study Program of the Faculty of Agriculture at Unhas assists rice farmers through technology transfer, agribusiness management training, and the application of environmentally friendly agricultural practices to increase land productivity without harming ecosystems. Meanwhile, the Soil Science Study Program conducts community service activities in Maros, collaborating with local communities to conserve soil fertility, prevent erosion, and promote sustainable land management. 

Equally important, the watershed (DAS) rehabilitation program in Toraja demonstrates collaboration between the Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM) of Unhas and PT Vale Indonesia, through tree planting around Toraja Airport to restore upstream ecosystem functions, maintain water quality, and preserve terrestrial ecosystem balance.

Through these various collaborations, Hasanuddin University demonstrates its strong commitment that maintaining shared land ecosystems is not only an academic responsibility but also a collective movement between the university and the community.
