IPB University’s Tani Center has collaborated with Gerakan Petani Nusantara (GPN) to develop the participatory learning program “Kampus Sawah Merdeka” which translates to “Independent Paddy Field Campus”. This collaboration was held as part of the Indonesian Ministry of Education’s Independent Campus – Freedom to Learn program which was conducted by Tani Center from November 2021 to March 2022. This program allows students to experience real agricultural challenges straight from the field as it utilizes farmer’s agriculture fields as learning facilities. This program gives students the opportunity to gain knowledge from outside their classrooms and aims to increase the youth’s interest towards agriculture. As many as 233 students applied to the program while at least 154 students have successfully finished the program.
