HDX team5 Rationales

Pak Nyoman explained his rationales as follow:

To connect the Suppliers (i.e.,) Farmers in terms of production, what to produce, quantity and quality required for production, and the Market segment so as to meet what the markets need, both for quantity and quality demand. This is to build up sustainability in the local supply and demand ecosystem, thus sustainability and resilience of the farming community could be maintained.

The Pasar Rakyat systems require identifying the Farmers, what products they produce and what the markets expect to be produced, and also understanding the business model to be either B to B or B to C, or even via online business portal, and how to relate and connect the relevant supply chain players.

Pak Nyoman aspires to build Sample Farms to have/ train model farmers to operate the farm as a training and education center supported by ICT, including digital learning platforms; tools for data collection and data management for stakeholders to update their products (specifying the items, the how many, when they could produce, and price), and also the markets situations (specifying what they need, how much quantity, when do they need, and price indication); and also tools for digital content sharing and learning of Standards Operation Procedures.

The expected outcome is to make farmers practice sustainable farming methods using fertilizers and pesticides made in the farm organically with lowered cost compared to using chemicals purchased from external suppliers, and hence make the farms produce quality product and also keep the land free from chemical contamination. The Sample Farms serve as exemplary farm operation for other farmers to model after and Pasar Rakyat wants to ensure compliance for quality practice to produce consistent quality food, by using the Sample Farms to create a 'green agriculture revolution' in Bali. Pak Nyoman's vision/slogan is to "Think Globally, Act locally, Feel totally!"

The System Problem Statement is therefor summarized as follow:

To: Build a self-reliant agricultural practice community to grow resilience in Bali

By: Teaching the Farmers, identifying and connecting the Farmers and the Sellers, and make sustainable supply chain system

Using: Sample Farm supported by relevant ICT tools and also Sustainable Business Management
